In the wake of the “emailgate” scandal involving U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Biden’s second son Hunter, most of the U.S. mainstream media downplayed or even ignored it, while social media platforms Twitter and Facebook downplayed or even ignored it. “The Wall Street Journal even went so far as to clamp down on the dissemination of information. The Wall Street Journal followed up its condemnation in an editorial by its editorial board on the 20th with an opinion piece on the 27th by former US President Bill McGurn, a member of the paper’s editorial board, criticizing the media for double standards in “treating” Biden as if he were fighting for a 3-year-old child. “Candy Kingdom”.
The article, titled “Saving Private Biden,” was published in both the print and electronic editions. In the article, it is mentioned that some of the media had been biased against Trump during the 2016 campaign, but they were unable to prevent him from winning, so they “added something” to help Trump’s opponent this year: Never make things difficult for Biden.
In the article, the New York Times was named for its outrageous front-page headline during the height of the 2016 presidential campaign: “In the era of Donald Trump, journalistic objectivity is a luxury Americans can’t afford. (In the era of Donald Trump, press objectivity was a luxury America could not afford.)
The article mentions that Biden has not yet made the “emails were fake” or “the laptop wasn’t Hunter’s” arguments, because the media never asked him about them, and he never had to give an answer.
The article also criticized social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook for treating the “emailgate” report as fake news, and clamped down on it along with the New York Post, which broke the story, “as if they were worried about Biden’s inability to deal with the questions and lack of confidence that Americans would be able to face Biden’s answers.
The New York Times did not follow up the story until 19 days after Reade’s accusation, but in 2018, Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, was accused by a woman named Julie Swetnick of sexually assaulting her for more than 30 years, the New Times reported the same day.
The New York Times reported on the same day that Brett Kavanaugh was accused by a woman named Julie Swetnick of sexually assaulting her for more than 30 years. He noted that Biden and Trump attended Town Hall Meeting-style question-and-answer sessions in the middle of the month, but that Trump was confronted by a vicious NBC anchor and Biden “chatted” with an ABC host; Biden made a slip of the tongue in May, saying that blacks did not support him. The article concludes that the media have set a “new standard” in the U.S. election.
The article concludes that the “new standard” set by the media in this election can be summed up by a recent quote from veteran writer Mark Hemingway: Seeing the media handle the Biden story “is like seeing someone trying to make sure a 3-year-old wins Candy Land. .” (Watching the press handle Joe Biden is like watching someone make sure a 3 year old wins Candyland.)
