The networks love to hide Hunter.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell tells MRCTV the lack of coverage on Biden family business deals is because “we cover news” and “we do a lot of fact checking.”

 

Except, it seems, when the Director of National Intelligence says there's "no intelligence" to support a leftwing conspiracy theory that the New York Post’s Hunter Biden bombshell is part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

Since the morning of October 14, when the New York Post published new evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings with Ukraine and Joe Biden’s potential knowledge of it, the broadcast nets have buried the allegations. 

From Wednesday, October 14 through the morning of October 27 MRC analysts looked at the ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning shows and their Sunday roundtable programs. Out of a total of 113 hours of news programming, there was less than 22 minutes (21 minutes, 46 seconds) spent on the latest scandals involving Joe Biden’s son. 

NBC spent just 9 minutes on Hunter’s scandals, and when they did, they devoted their efforts to knocking it down.

MRCTV caught up with Andrea Mitchell to ask her about this. You can view her replies in the video above.
