I tried to read it but got fed up with I realized this went on when Biden was out of office.

The media always gets in a lather when a relative of a Democrat appears to be trading on their family name — Billy Carter, Roger Clinton — but can’t be bothered when Republicans do this. They know the Bush family has been doing that for decades and generations but find it totally acceptable. The media seems to realize that people can’t control what their family members do when Republicans are involved.

For example most people I ask have never heard that Neil Bush constantly traded on the Bush name when Dubya was in office. Not only did Neil make a lot of money selling semiconductors in Asia despite having no expertise in that area, he also got rewarded with free sex romps with prostitutes who magically turned up at his hotel room. The media didn’t even have to do a deep dive on that story since Neil admitted these facts in his divorce deposition.

I think they get in a lather whenever a D seems to get traction, period.

Yep. Mainstream media really does hate Democrats, and then they have the nerve to claim the both-sides perspective. It really gets my blood up.

Democrats need to de-normalize it asap. We cannot survive another election cycle with a rightwing biased media hanging over it.
