Dear Commons Community,
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro had an unusual question about Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, during an extended rant yesterday. “Why is Hunter Biden always in our face?” she asked on her program The Five. She then slammed him for his well-publicized struggles with addiction over the years. “Why is Hunter Biden always in our face?! Why is this guy at the White House? This guy is either a drug addict or a reformed drug addict. We shouldn’t have to deal with him constantly in our face!”
Pirro only has to thank her own network – Fox News. Mediaite checked the transcripts and found Hunter Biden’s name has been uttered on Fox News 393 times since July 1. The Daily Beast noted his name’s use on the network some 1,300 times over the past month ― compared to under 300 on CNN and MSNBC over that same period.
We have all had too much of Hunter Biden and too much of Fox news bringing him up over and over again!

But is this a deflection of the story? Sure they rant. All commentators do. Check the number of times Trump Jr. was mentioned on other networks when he met with the Russian woman some time ago. But journalists should not. So when we look at the journalists on the major networks, how much coverage is being given to a possible ‘payment scandal’ involving Hunter Biden? In the reports, there seems to be some information that the Biden family may be involved. Should the public not know if this is true or not? After all, if Woodward and Bernstein had not become such ‘pains’ to the sitting President, nothing would have come of the Watergate breakin.
