NPR Reveals Why They're Not Covering the Hunter Biden Scandal
Townhall ^ | October 22, 2020 | Cortney O'Brien

Social media titans didn't want you to read the New York Post's bombshell report on Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine while his father was vice president. But we, as well as several other outlets, reported on it. And as we noted, the report still got ( plenty of eyes on it). Despite the censorship, the New York Post's Biden story drew 2.6 million views in nearly a week and was the top story about the election on Facebook and Twitter, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine explained.

I don't know Mr. Samuels but he is what Mr. Khrushchev alluded to when he said "Your children's children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands." "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Or words to that affect.

NPR can be arrogant about their view of things and issues and Mr. Samuels is not helping that image. The Biden Crime Family is a pretty big story Mr. Samuels, even if you like them a whole lot.

Trump should use this opportunity to tell this jackass that if the Hunter Biden story is proven true, then he will disband and shut down NPR.

Then ask the NPR guy if he wants to be held as the person solely responsible for ending NPR.

I don’t give a crap what NR writes as long as its grossly overpaid and biased administrative and “reportorial” staff ain’t paid with my tax dollars. Not a dime for them!

Definitely.

But just because the articles were blocked doesn’t mean word didn’t get out to a Tremendous number of people on twitter.

One can simply go to the Post to read them.

But what’s more important is people just hearing about it at least.

Low information readers don’t need any substantial proof for a scandal (though in this case there is).

They just need to hear it and a percentage will believe it at face value.

It is sad, but in this case it’s good for us.

"Your children's children will live under communism,...

That's NPR's mission statement.

“NPR Reveals Why They’re Not Covering the Hunter Biden Scandal”

For what reason do we support NPR with our taxes if they don’t do the job the “press” exists?

A few months ago NPR radio ran a multi-segment story on how millennials were buying houseplants. Think about it. People got paid for that story, they treated it as serious journalism, interviewing people and editing clips. It was the dumbest thing I heard coming out of NPR until this explanation.

Just another distraction, sure:

“A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden‘s current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.”

if the Hunter Biden story is proven true

You know how it works. Nothing is "true" until the Left seems it true. Hell, they still call Dan Rather's GWB story "fake but accurate."

I thought it was, "Nothing is true until it is officially denied."

Really not relevant. Nobody watches or listens to NPR except captive audience in institutions.
