4 Absurd Media Narratives To Distract Americans From Joe Biden’s Simultaneous Scandals

President Biden and his official representatives, whether members of his legal team or part of the White House’s press office, as well as his surrogates in the Democrat Party, find themselves drowning in scandal.

With House oversight committees now in the hands of Republicans, the Biden administration can no longer spurn demands for documents and answers to questions related to President Joe Biden’s involvement in and profiting from his son Hunter’s international financial entanglements. Add to that long-ignored scandal the incoming flood of questions concerning the discovery of three separate batches of unsecured classified documents dating back to his time as vice president, and we have a perfect storm set to destroy Biden’s presidency.

But Biden need not fret, as the legacy media have dispatched their journalists to moonlight as a PR team for the president, as best exemplified by The New York Times’ lengthy piece Since last week “Hunter Biden’s Tangled Tale Comes Front and Center.” The Times is not the only newspaper to spin scandals. Although it’s still early days for this story, these are the four main narratives.

1. Republicans Pounce

No matter what scandal, the Democrat-defending Media reflexively follow the example of the “Republicans pounce” formula, and so the coverage of the investigations into Biden’s financial dealings and his mishandling of classified material predictably followed that approach. The story became about Republicans’ reaction to the scandal, not the scandal itself.

“Republicans pounced on the discovery on Saturday of more classified documents at Joe Biden’s residence, accusing the president of hypocrisy and questioning why the records were not brought to light earlier,” The Guardian opened It covered the revelation that Biden had classified documents stored at his home and in a closet in a D.C. building. 

CNN and other outlets have moved on from the overused “Republicans pounce” Substitution and framing “attack” for the overworn cliché: “As House Republicans officially take over Congress and clamor to investigate the Biden administration, a new line of attack fell squarely into their laps: classified documents recovered from one of President Joe Biden’s private offices when he served as vice president,” CNN started covering the growing number of investigations that Biden is facing. 

The following are some of the highlights. “pounced,” “attacked,” “seized,” and other thesaurus-ready descriptors of Republicans’ responses to the scandals permeate much of the corrupt media’s coverage of the Joe Biden scandals, The New York Times deserves accolades for creativity, with the Old Gray Lady making the story about Republicans in a fresh new way.

“The way Republicans tell it,” The Times opened, “President Biden has been complicit in a long-running scheme to profit from his position in public life through shady dealings around the world engineered by his son, Hunter Biden.” Then over the course of some 6,000 words, the Times presented the Biden family’s tale as its own. 

But it is not the “Republican pounce” This is what headline conservatives are expecting. The new introductory technique allows journalists to distract attention from the story and present the news as claims.
