On Huntergate and the MSM

Apparently determined to avoid a repetition of the Clinton e-mail pseudo-scandal, the MSM have given Biden a free pass on Ukraine to date. They rarely say anything about it, and when they do, it always comes with a big disclaimer about the lack of any evidence of wrongdoing. Can Biden continue to rely on their restraint?

He would be wise not to take it for granted. The GOP Senate and the administration will do their best to fabricate news stories out of Ukraine that will be difficult for the MSM to ignore. Simply approaching the issue as something that is beneath his contempt is not going to be a winning strategy.

Given the difficulties of his upbringing, it should be easy to portray Hunter as a completely sympathetic figure who has periodically lost his way. Biden needs to work on that in the next few months. It could well be the difference between winning and losing in November.
