Liberal and traditional media outlets were shocked when President Joe Biden broke his repeated vow not to pardon his son Hunter, yet another example of the media’s poor coverage of the ongoing Biden family drama.

Weeks before the 2020 election, the media dismissed Hunter Biden’s embarrassing laptop as Russian misinformation, igniting a multi-year controversy involving major tech, intelligence agencies, and many of these same media sites. The media, taking the president’s statement that he would not pardon his son as gospel, continued to mishandle the Biden family dispute more than four years later.

The media upheld Biden’s sharpness until his infamous live-streamed debate error led them to renounce his eligibility for another term. According to a seasoned media insider who has held senior positions at several well-known newsrooms, “the media has disgraced itself” in the last five years.

“First, they willfully ignored clear evidence of criminal misconduct by Hunter… acquiesced to by Joe, which they called ‘disinformation.’ Then they willfully ignored clear evidence of the president’s senility, and the conspiracy by Hunter, Jill and Valerie to keep him and, by extension, them in power. This is media corruption pure and simple, and there needs to be a reckoning,” the media veteran told Fox News.

A few weeks before then-candidate Joe Biden was scheduled to face then-President Trump, the New York Post discovered the notorious laptop that contained graphic images and videos of drug usage, obscene sexual acts, and private business correspondence. However, the bombshell was effectively buried in a uniformed censorship that had never been seen before.

Twitter barred users from sharing the story link and locked the New York Post out of its account for weeks after claiming the story breached its rules of service due to hacked information.

Numerous media institutions and social media platforms, including MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and others, either promoted the now-disproved “Russian disinformation” narrative or chose to ignore the topic completely. Once President Biden was safely in office, the Russian disinformation narrative—which was partly based on an open letter written by 51 former intelligence officers and swiftly repeated by traditional media outlets—was shown to be false.

However, Hunter Biden, 54, persisted in causing trouble during his father’s presidency. Earlier this year, the first son was found guilty in June of three felony charges related to federal weapons crimes and entered a guilty plea in September in a different criminal tax case.

President Biden repeatedly stated throughout the year that he would not pardon his son. The media quickly replicated the president’s statement, much like the unfounded allegation that the laptop contained “Russian disinformation.”

Below is a video montage of Biden, many of his officials, and liberals in the media claiming he would never pardon his son:

Following President Biden’s pardon of his son, which both Biden and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have repeatedly stated would not occur, KJP confronted the media for the first time on Monday.

A reporter asked Jeane-Pierre if the American people “could be seen as lies” by those earlier remarks that denied a pardon.

“You have said repeatedly, yourself, since the election, and the president has said for months, no pardon was coming. I just — you know, I wanted to ask you, could those statements not be seen as lies from the American people? Is there really a credibility issue you’re giving now this announcement?” a reporter asked.

“No, no. First of all, one of the things that the president always believes is to be truthful to the American people,” Jean-Pierre began, immediately getting defensive.

“That is something that he always truly believes. And if you see the end of his — I — I assume that you’ve read his statement and you look at the end of that statement, and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph, and — and respects the thinking and how the American people will actually see this and his decision-making, and I would encourage everyone to read it full, the president’s statement. I think he lays out his thought process,” Jean-Pierre added.

She continued, “He lays out how he came to this decision. He came to this decision this weekend. So let’s be very clear about that. He says it himself. It’s in his voice. He said he came to this decision this weekend. And he said he wrestled with this and — because he believes in the justice system, but he also believes that the war politics infected the process and led to a — a — a miscarriage of justice.”

LISTEN:

Hunter Biden is no longer facing sentencing for separate federal gun and tax evasion cases that were scheduled for later this month.

Hunter pleaded guilty in September to nine counts related to evading $1.4 million in taxes and was convicted in June on three federal gun charges for possessing a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine.

Joe Biden asserted on Sunday that his son was “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” and issued a comprehensive pardon covering any offenses committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. He initially pledged that he would not pardon his son.
