Protecting Biden Is a Full-Time Job for the Times

 Ann Coulter


"This is an odd line to read in The New York Times:  Ashley Biden’s Diary Was Shown at Trump Fund-Raiser. Weeks Later, Project Veritas Called Her. - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

"In “a still-emerging story” (exciting, no?), Project Veritas “worked to expose personal information about the Biden family at a crucial stage of the 2020 campaign.”

"Isn’t that what journalists are supposed to do?

"Just kidding! As we saw with Hunter Biden’s laptop, the job of journalists is to suppress negative information about Democrats. Instead of reporting news “without fear or favor” — Times founder Adolph S. Ochs, 1896 — the U.S. media now function as the Praetorian Guard for the Democratic Party.

"Still, you’d think the Times would be embarrassed to attack others for doing the reporting they won’t do.

"The story was about how Project Veritas got its hands on the diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden. (She’s the good child by virtue of being less of a drug fiend than Hunter.) It was titled: “Ashley Biden’s Diary Was Shown at Trump Fund-Raiser. Weeks Later, Project Veritas Called Her.”

"The Times no longer reports news about the president: It berates other journalists for reporting news about the president.

"Thus, the Times breathlessly reveals:

"— “The diary’s highly personal contents, if publicly disclosed, could prove an embarrassment or a distraction to her father at a critical moment in the campaign.”

"THAT’S NOT JOURNALISM! THAT’S HURTING A DEMOCRAT! IT’S LIKE ANTI-JOURNALISM.

— “[The Project Veritas] caller was seeking to trick Ms. Biden into confirming the authenticity of the diary …”

"So? Has the Times heard of Woodward and Bernstein? “60 Minutes”? Journalism?". . .
