[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC relented on Friday morning and covered the breaking news that Joe Biden’s son Hunter may be on the verge of federal criminal charges. After ignoring the latest on Thursday night, Good Morning America allowed 172 seconds. George Stephanopoulos warned at the top of the show: “Under pressure. The new report on the investigation into Hunter Biden on possible tax and other charges. It’s nearing its conclusion. Could the President's son face federal charges?” All three morning shows covered the latest details, totaling 7 minutes and 52 seconds on Friday — growing out of a Washington Post front page story. But ABC was unique in that it was the only network to skip it on Thursday.
