As the November elections approach, established media outlets and veteran political journalists are increasingly addressing scandals that have long plagued the Democratic Party. This shift highlights political matters that conservatives have been emphasizing for years.
In a recent editorial, the New York Post criticized the New York Times for its delayed reporting on allegations concerning Hunter Biden. The editorial pointed out that it took the Times over four years to acknowledge a critical series about Biden’s influence-peddling schemes, which had previously been uncovered by other news organizations.
The editorial read, “We would say the Times’ willingness to cover this at last comes better late than never, but it only published the story now that it doesn’t remotely matter anymore.” This sentiment reflects the frustrations of those who believe that timely reporting can impact political accountability.
On Friday, the New York Times published an article disclosing that Hunter Biden had sought assistance from the State Department for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that employed him while his father was vice president. This connection has attracted scrutiny from conservatives who allege that Biden leveraged his family ties for influence.
Hunter Biden reportedly earned millions while serving as legal counsel and later as a board member for Burisma starting in 2014. Critics allege that the Biden family orchestrated significant payments to secure the ousting of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma during the Obama administration.
Despite these allegations, President Biden has consistently denied any involvement in his son’s business dealings.
Before leaving office in January, Biden granted his son a sweeping pardon that protects Hunter from legal consequences for actions taken between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. While allegations of influence-peddling within the Biden family have circulated widely, mainstream media outlets have often refrained from giving these claims significant attention.
Notably, Jonathan Turley, a legal scholar and contributor to Fox News, remarked on the New York Times’ recent coverage. He noted that the evidence suggesting Hunter acted as a foreign agent has been available for years but went largely unreported until now.
Moreover, this renewed interest in uncovering past scandals extends beyond the Biden family. Traditional media sources have begun investigating other controversies that conservatives warned about, such as the origins of COVID-19. Recent discourse has increasingly suggested that the virus likely originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, which had been dismissed by many in the scientific community.
In a recent opinion column, the New York Times acknowledged that the public had been misled about the potential lab origins of COVID-19. Columnist Zeynep Tufekci pointed out that vital facts were understated or concealed to underscore a narrative that could stifle dissent regarding theories about the virus’s origins.
In February, the CIA confirmed that they lean towards the lab leak theory as the most credible explanation for the virus’s emergence. This conclusion contrasts sharply with the skepticism that initially surrounded such claims.
The New York Times defended its approach to covering the pandemic. A spokesperson stated that the Times has thoroughly investigated all leads, documenting political debates and the evolving thinking within the scientific community regarding COVID-19.
The media’s spotlight on the Biden administration has not been limited to external controversies. A new book by seasoned reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes delves into President Biden’s mental state leading up to the general election. Their findings depict a significantly diminished figure compared to his earlier political persona.
The authors reveal how people close to Biden actively minimized the public’s awareness of his declining mental faculties. In interviews, it has been stated that Brian was a “shell of himself” when he took office, drastically different from the robust candidate conservatives had previously campaigned against.
Concerns regarding Biden’s cognitive performance had been prevalent before the 2020 election, culminating in increased scrutiny when Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to recommend charges against Biden related to classified documents whisperings. Hur’s report described Biden as a sympathetic elderly man with memory issues.
As the presidential race continued, critics argued that Biden’s performance in the first and only debate against Donald Trump further underscored his declining mental acuity. His handling of the debate raised alarms, leading a mix of traditional allies and conservatives to suggest a transfer of leadership responsibilities to a younger generation.
Amidst these concerns, Biden ultimately withdrew from the race, backing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s candidate. Unfortunately for Harris, her campaign couldn’t garner sufficient support, and she was unable to secure victory against Trump in the subsequent election.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper has also been vocal regarding the state of affairs. He mentioned in an upcoming book his observations related to Biden’s cognitive decline and narrates the cover-up efforts purportedly led by certain Democratic Party factions.
Fox News Digital reached out to Biden’s post-presidential office for comment but has not received a response.
With the landscape of political journalism shifting, it remains to be seen how this new vigor for reporting on previously overlooked Democratic scandals will influence the next chapters of the Biden presidency and the Democratic Party’s future.
