Leaked Reports Reveal Media’s Quiet Protection of Biden Family Amid Growing Scandal
Newly uncovered details are adding fuel to the long-standing debate about whether powerful media outlets deliberately downplayed critical stories involving Joe Biden and his son, Hunter — stories that could have shifted public opinion long before the 2024 election.
A recent report, now gaining traction online, suggests that concerns about President Biden’s mental sharpness and his son’s foreign business entanglements were known — but not widely reported — by mainstream media as early as 2019, during the Democratic primaries.
Sources say internal research from rival Democratic campaigns raised questions about Hunter Biden’s financial ties to a Ukrainian energy firm and a significant tax lien connected to those dealings. Yet despite the relevance of these issues, major outlets appeared to treat the information as off-limits.
As President Biden’s public appearances began to raise concerns about his cognitive state — especially following a widely criticized CNN debate performance in 2023 — media critics say the silence only grew louder. Some now believe this lack of transparency contributed to his decision to withdraw from the 2024 race under increasing scrutiny.
Media watchdogs are calling it a coordinated effort to protect a political narrative at the expense of truth.
“When the media filters reality to shape outcomes, democracy takes a backseat,” said one former news editor who spoke under condition of anonymity.
For millions of Americans, the question now isn’t just what was hidden, but why — and who benefited from keeping voters in the dark.
