The White House is in full panic mode over this week’s launch of an impeachment inquiry into Democrat President Joe Biden.
The evidence overwhelmingly shows that Biden and his son Hunter engaged in shady foreign deals and received millions of dollars for selling access to the White House.
However, instead of defending the indefensible, the White House is now begging media outlets to investigate the GOP.
Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote: “It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.
“Covering impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable.
“And in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth,” he wrote.
The letter will be sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others.
However, it has already been established that the Bidens have been lying about Hunter’s business dealings and what the president knew about them.
They have changed their story too many times for an impartial observer to believe there is nothing there.
As Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) accurately noted during a Tuesday press briefing, the American people are only unaware of the evidence because the corporate media refuses to report it.
Legal scholar Jonathan Turley weighed in on the situation, saying:
“The White House is now actively involved in pushing narratives and denying factual allegations linked to the Biden corruption scandal.
“That could create Nixonian-type allegations of the abuse of office in the use of federal employees to counter impeachment efforts.
“Second, the letter was drafted by Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office.
“So White House lawyers are now enlisting the media in a counter media campaign against impeachment?
“The letter removes any pretense of separation between the Biden personal legal team and the White House Counsel’s office.
“Sams has been the most aggressive White House official in actively swatting down allegations of corruption as well as the President’s documents investigation.
“Third, the letter calls for the media to actively support the White House account.
“The draft of the letter is a call for what I have previously criticized as ‘advocacy journalism’ where reporters frame stories to advance their own viewpoints or values.”
I'm sure the Dem Media will happily comply................
I am surprised the White House had to ask.

“I’m sure the Dem Media will happily comply................”

He’s panicking because he knows his puppeteers will have no trouble at all throwing him to the wolves.
Was that before or after the letter?....................
Given our thin majority in the House, is there any certainty that impeachment could even make it out of that chamber?
Let’s face it. there are some GOP House members who won election in 2022 in marginal districts. Although they may believe that the articles of impeachment are valid, the hard part is convincing them to fall on the swords for it - especially since we know that 67 Senators are not likely to vote for it.
I don’t believe such headlines (’panic’).
They knew he had problems when he was campaigning, both political baggage and cognitive issues.
They know he has both mentally worsened and continues to worsen, coupled with undeniable evidence supporting impeachment (at a minimum).
The issue of concern for me is the converse of panic:
What have they planned for us knowing that this was inevitable?
As much as we would enjoy having Biden impeached, doesn’t the Constitution require that impeachment be for offenses committed while a president is in office? Is there any evidence of such offenses?
RE: abuse of office in the use of federal employees
Such as the DOJ working in full force under Merrick Garland
to destroy Trump and all his allies? Hmmmmm?
When you can’t argue the facts, destroy the man.
If this isn’t the most rotten thing I’ve ever heard. This idiot needs to be impeached and removed for so many reasons and the number 1 reason is for the good of the country.
We can’t take any more of his shit.
So, to all that stated the media is “fair and balanced”, this is proof they’re colluding with government to sway opinion and elections.
Panicking, my derriere.
Deep State controls all branches of government.
There’s no need for Deep State to panic.
So why the BS story, hmmmm...
Is Deep State setting up a sitch to explain away something untoward happening to an increasingly incapacitated POTATUS?
I saw it too

I’m not answering the signal on this one
Deep State controls all branches of government, media and industry....................
