NPR: 'Experts' Say Covering Hunter Biden Corruption Story Deepens 'Stigma' of Addiction For 'Millions'

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."

So, if the news about Hunter is suppressed, then the ‘community’ is strengthened? Can the bias be any more clear?

My tax dollars at work. Here is hoping that with the extreme deficit for 2020, a reelected Trump will defund this biased source from the taxpayer’s money!

Actually boozehounds and addicts benefit from nothing so much as the truth stuck right in their faces - the truth of their own condition, the mess around them, and the truth of where they are headed.

The spread of this story will surely prevent a lot of kids from going down this road in the first place. For those starting out on the road, maybe they'll think about turning around before arriving at Huntertown.

Not that I would know anything about the road into and out of a booze problem :-P

I see, the story about corruption and not the corruption is what is bad.

Makes sense if it’s also the reporting crimes committed by addicts looking to pay for drugs that’s bad too (rather than the crimes some commit).

And I suppose the kiddie porn conjures bad feelings for the suffering pedos.

The left would know all about using a disease as a political weapon. It’s all they’ve been doing for the last 6 months

Addiction? A disease? Now I've heard everything.

The addict goes and buys his drug of choice, holes up somewhere to inject it , smoke it, or sniff it.......and gets high.

Th addict will do anything.....even commit crimes.... to get more of the "disease."

NOTE: Science has yet to pinpoint the virus that causes this type of destructive behavior.

“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 looks like the link has been established between the crackhead and Joe. Joe openied the Frick’n front door of the people’s house to the CCP. Even Lucky Luciano wouldn’t have sold out our country.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Typical liberal disinformation. Hunter Biden’s addictions are not they news. they are simply the source of the news. The real news is Joe Biden’s corruption.

Hunter Biden’s addiction can be ignored (or left to local authorities).

Joe Biden’s corruption cannot be ignored.

Darn right. They make a decision to start using some illegal drug of unknown origin and I am supposed to be sympathetic when they drop dead or screw up their lives?

PBS last night had “experts” that discounted the computer sources and veracity of the information. Amanopour and the PBS News Hour (CNN light) both had snippets where the interviewee claimed it was everything from Russian interference to propaganda that originated from biased Republican sources. No where did they suggest that this information was correct and that the Bidens are what they are...which is corrupt.

They sure are. They’re complicit with the Democrats in covering up their crimes. They can’t keep covering this up forever. The dam is going to break sooner or later. Rudy is saving the real damaging stuff on the Bidens for later. The Bidens and the MSM know this too!
