The media is looking for any excuse to suppress the story of Hunter and Joe Biden's shady dealings in the Ukraine now that the Tech Tyrants' authoritarian censorship appears to have backfired.

Here's the latest example from NPR: Experts Say Attack On Hunter Biden's Addiction Deepens Stigma For Millions

October 16, 2020 BRIAN MANN

[...] These attacks have raised alarm and sparked criticism from those who say the president and his allies are using a disease experienced by 20 million Americans as a political weapon.

"To hear the president of the United States say this is a legitimate political smear shows that he thinks this is a way to attack," said Eric Michael Garcia, a journalist who entered recovery last year for alcohol and sex addiction.

After the debate, Garcia wrote about the attacks on Hunter Biden in The Washington Post, arguing that "mocking people for their addiction will make them less willing to get help."

Addiction should be a stigma.

Hahah. I remember when prominent people admitting addiction was “helpful to the little people” because it showed it could happen to anyone.

NPR’s effort to cover for the Bidens. Very interesting how the Times, NPR and others have forged the social narratives. The charting of these narratives in this article are very impressive.

NPR. What a joke. When PDJT says, "Good morning," he is castigated for being insensitive to all the homeless and suffering in the country.

Hypocrite, thy name is the Democrat/Communist Party and its minions in the MSM.

Does that mean NPR thinks the story is true?

Absolutely, positively, no way this would have been their attitude had this been one of the Trump children.

Openly campaigning against the truth. The NYT is advocating abolition of the first amendment, but probably would protect the freedom of the press. It’s all about freedom for me but not for thee.

Sorry, NPR, being a stupid drug user is only the tip of the iceberg. If he lead a life of bodily purity but served as a bribe money conduit for his father he would be just as much as a scumbag. By focusing on the drug use, NPR is just trying to distract from the real story.

Drugs
Pedophilia
Graft
Abuse of power
Illegal money
All of the above

And when we get Republican majorities, we can’t even get NPR cancelled. Dems get majorities and there is a myriad of new entitlements we can’t get rid of.

Good try, NPR.This story is not the Hunter Biden story, It is the Joe Biden story. This story is not about a candidate’s crackhead son. It is a story about a candidate himself using his son, who coincidentally happens to be a crackhead, as a conduit to ply money from foreign powers (mostly US threats) and foreign corporate entities to exercise his powers as US Vice President to benefit enemy entities and pocket money to do so. I think the word is bribery last time I looked in the dictionary

Look, you made bad decisions that got you to a place of addiction, you have to own that, you are also responsible for getting yourself out of addiction, you have to own that too. Addiction already gives you a million excuses not to quit, highlighting Hunter’s addiction may give you a million and one excuses, but hopefully it will prevent at least one person from trying drugs. That is a victory for us all.
