i'd just like to know why greenwald thinks the media is covering for biden. surely it's in the media's material interest to have trump reelected. trump singlehandedly saved the nytimes and wapo from ruin. what would the media possibly have to gain by not publishing a scandal, ever, especially if it got trump reelected. maybe i'm wrong, but this is one aspect i really don't understand about this whole hunter biden scandal
I suspect most serious politicians and even business ghouls want Biden in.
Democratic presidents and presidential hopefuls have generally tried to portray themselves primarily as responsibly managing the empire (which includes doing imperialism, just with a friendly face and in order to help women in oppressive regimes, etc etc)
Biden’s obviously not going to be tough on anything but petty crimes (so usual slap-on-the-wrist shit for businesses and banks doing whatever the fuck they want), he wants to work with republicans, etc.
So that’s why I think it makes sense for basically all powerful people to support Biden; he’s obviously not a threat, while trump threatens the perceived legitimacy of the US. I dunno about Greenwald, but that’s why I’d expect all but the most die-hard pro-trump media to be trying to push for Biden, if subtly, and probably trying to push Biden to the right with the questions and framing they use with him.

did they not realize they were getting him elected in 2016 with their wall-to-wall coverage of him until after it happened or something?
