Boy, have whistleblowers fallen from favor at institutions like The New York Times.

Back in the Trump era, their accusations were front-page news. Now they’re lucky to make page 15: That’s where the paper (exactly like The Washington Post) put its account of the jaw-dropping latest dirt from the IRS agents charging gross political interference in the Hunter Biden investigation.

The Times’ account (even online, where space is unlimited) was rather spotty, too: No mention of the info suggesting Attorney General Merrick Garland seems to have perjured, himself, for example.

Instead, the paper focused near-exclusively on that (admittedly shocking) WhatsApp message Hunter allegedly sent, threatening his Chinese partners with Joe’s vengeance (“he’s sitting right next to me”) if they don’t pay up.
