    Pretty bad and fitting criticism coming from a LW journalist who has worked at Salon and The Guardian - I can't help but agree with him. The LW media is doing its best to bury this story, and it's a safe bet that the Leftist hack "moderating" Thursday's debate won't bring it up either.

    LOL - Evidently not, and you'd think that Greenwald would know better. I guess he made the mistake of believing that Biden's shills at ABC, CBS, NBC, et al, have a shred of integrity and see it as their responsibility to inform the public. Silly prole...

    It is scandalous, even though we know the LW MSM cast its journalistic integrity, objectivity and consistency out the window years if not decades ago.

    This morning I watched the first twenty minutes of ABC, CBS and NBC's morning shows and there wasn't a peep about the Biden Crime Family's antics in China, Ukraine and elsewhere. You won't find this story on the front page of their websites right now, either. The Big Guy's shills in the LW MSM are in Full-On Damage Control Mode right now.

    Democracy dies in the darkness...

    Waaay past time for the "media" to be forced to register as the political organizations they are and be subject to the laws governing such!

    They have the receipt with Hunter's signature. The left wing is lying to America trying to cover up this scandal.

    Back at the accuser. Show me any metadata that proves Rudy himself didn’t write these emails.

    Biden campaign gave you all the evidence you need when they said this:

    Biden is confirmed to have been brought and paid for by the Chinese Government, and they want us to care about Muh Russia. China's intrusion into America has been known for years including an espionage operation against America just late last year.

    China is always an enemy, never to be trusted.

    The FBI just came out and confirmed the emails are 100% Hunter Biden's. You can stop with all the denial, obfuscation, and attempts to change the subject.

    Joe Biden sold the Office of the Vice President to China, Ukraine, Russia, and Iraq. Just like he sold his Senate seat to Credit Card companies at the peril of U.S. Citizens.

    As Ratcliff wisely said, he didn't want anyone politicizing the intelligence community and put that Schifty Schiff in his place. More Ratcliffs in government please.

    Ummm...Glen, The Intercept is covered by Section 230. Was this merely a misunderstanding?

    He should do some editing before he posts. He contradicted his argument within three separate paragraphs. I suppose this could be a new style, whiplash argumentation?

    Normally, he’s much better though he’s argumentative for the sake being argumentative at times. He’s sloppy in this instance.

    As Biden said, If he talks about it, it’ll be in the news. So if he just ignores it, the MSM makes it go away. It’s almost like they’re working for him.

    Still not seeing what the big hubbub is all about? No one has made claim of a crime in this story. Nothing about what is claimed is illegal, immoral, or fattening.

    The only person with less credibility than Greenwald is Rudy the Ghoul.

    Greenwald was in the middle of the Snowden thing. Snowden is currently living in Moscow by the way

    Gee, Using Ratcliffe and wise in the same sentence!

    Yes, Trump need more yes men and flunkies. He tells us that all the time.

    Lately, even Barr isn’t subservient enough!

    Nice protection racket, eh?

    Probably the only way this gets on the airwaves is through campaign ads, and I wouldn't be surprised if ABC, CBS, NBC tried to censor them.

    You'd think we were making this up but he’s on video saying it. If I answer it’ll be a headline. Wow. Wouldn’t it be nice if Trump could get away with not bothering to answer questions about anything he doesn’t want to talk about.

    I can't wait to see Biden's response when Trump asks him about this....if the moderator doesn't mute him when he tries.

    If the moderator does, the Democrats will have endorsed Kim Jong-style politics, and at that point they can't complain about orange man bad.

    "He says mean things"
    "You're censoring him though"

    Like seriously, one thing is way worse than the other and that's how Trump always baits these people.

    That's an already done deal. The next debate WILL put the mute button option into full play. How much you want to bet, however, that mysteriously it will mostly apply only to Trump with Biden being allowed to slip between the cracks and mouth off pretty much to his heart's content? It will be an interesting debate . . . if for no other reason than to see HOW the pro-Biden moderator . . . cheats.

    We all know what Biden's shills in the media would say:

    "It's a cover-up!!"

    Now, in reality, it's Biden and his shills in the media conducting a full scale cover-up operation, just as Demokrats did earlier this year.

    TikTok? Isn't that a Chinese company?

    Back to your point:

    Desperate in the extreme.

    Taking a trip down Memory Hole Lane, this isn't the first time the LW media has run cover for one its "progressive" fellow travelers running for president. As you surely recall, the Democratik shills in the JournoList network did it for Obama back in 2008 when the sordid details of his extremist background and associations began to come to light:

    Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright
    https://dailycaller.com/2010/07/20/...ng-to-kill-stories-about-rev-jeremiah-wright/

    Now they're at it again.

    Just like Joe Biden said about revealing his position on packing the Supreme Court, the American people don't deserve to know. The American people will get the information that Biden and the LW MSM decide the American people deserve to know.

    This is the kind of sh*t that went on in the Soviet Union. Now we have to have our own samizdat networks to get around the information blackouts imposed on the public by "progressive" politicians and media outlets...

    Biden is preparing for the debate like a normal candidate. Not hiding.

    Serious question ?

    Do you think the media should get real evidence, fact check, and verify. or should they report on what politicians want them to report on ?

    This doesn't have legs because its an allegation with no real evidence of proof. It may be true, but their is no evidence of proof yet. In the public sphere we literally have a picture of an email, and then a bunch of political pundits screaming that it should be front page news.

    And if this should be front page news, and the right is so passionate about benefiting from political connection, then why isn't it front page news that Ivanka got Chines trademarks from the Chinese government the very same week her father was there "negotiating" with President Xi ?
