What Is the Biggest Difference Between the Hunter and Jared Scandals?
Pray tell, how and when did you learn about each?
Many parallels are being drawn between the Hunter Biden and Jared Kushner possible corruption stories. There is no need to discuss those here. One key difference is worth discussing: media coverage of each.
This is just an abbreviated list of major media coverage since the Jared Kusher–Saudi Arabia scandal broke:
- The New York Times, April 10, 2022: “Before Giving Billions to Jared Kushner, Saudi Investment Fund Had Big Doubts”
- The Washington Post, April 11, 2022: “After Trump’s Contentious Courtship of the Saudis, $2B for Jared Kushner”
- New York Post, April 11, 2022: “Jared Kushner Gets $2B Saudi Investment, Drawing Hunter Biden Comparisons”
- Washington Examiner, April 11, 2022: “Jared Kushner Firm Received $2 Billion Saudi Investment After White House Exit: Report”
- Bloomberg, April 11, 2022: “How Did Jared Kushner Get $2 Billion From the Saudis?” (Opinion)
- MSNBC, April 12, 2022: “Jared Kushner’s Deal with Saudi Arabia Sure Looks Corrupt” (Opinion)
This looks like a quick pick up by major news outlets across both liberal and conservative leaning publications.
To my critics as to why I didn’t cover any Trump-related possible corruption in my prior article on Hunter Biden’s laptop and related questions: it’s obvious. I didn’t have to. The mainstream media already had, and based on their recent performance, they can be relied upon to continue to do so quite diligently.
I wrote only about the Hunter fiasco because even after the NY Times confirmed the authenticity of the laptop, I could find no one source that provided enough of the story in one concise and logical storyline.
I certainly hope you didn’t first hear the Hunter story from me.
And sadly, the biggest issue isn’t just possible corruption by our current, prior or future first families. The biggest issue and the most important story to tell is the media’s different treatment of the stories. The impunity which results from suppressing vital information from the American public makes our version of democracy a joke, and places us right up there with other regimes using censorship and propaganda as tools of the state and powerful elites.
