No one will care about the Hunter Biden N-word scandal

Now, if Hunter were someone really powerful and important, like an anonymous high-schooler dreaming of cheerleading at the University of Tennessee, then this story would be important. Then, he might get a 2,500-word essay in the New York Times about him and the psychopathic classmate who doxxed him for a two-year-old video. Or imagine if Hunter Biden was a graphic designer who dressed up as Megyn Kelly for a Halloween party two years ago. If he was, then it would definitely be worth a 3,000-word Washington Post investigation into his life. But fortunately, Biden’s only employment seems to be on the boards of shady foreign companies, so there’s nothing to look at here. Come on, the Post’s motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’. If they want something to stay dark, then ipso facto it has nothing to do with democracy. No, the American press has taken the firm position that chronicling the mistakes and misadventures of presidential children is beyond the pale of justice and good taste. In other words, the adult son of a president is far different from the teenage daughter of a Minneapolis hummus producer. Any tweets made by her are fair game for a national lynch mob. And it’s totally fair to force her father to fire her, issue a statement denouncing them and then ruin the his business anyway.
