The problem is not that they are squelching discussion of anything, the problem is that are repeatedly debunking accusations that he did something wrong when there is absolutely no credible evidence that he did anything wrong. If they repeatedly reported that he has never been charged with molesting children, that would smear him too.
It's amazing to me that someone who is as congenitally skeptical of the ability of law enforcement to wreck people's lives as you are can be so blasé about the way that Republicans have used the government to fuck with Hunter Biden. I don't know much about Hunter Biden. By all accounts that I've heard, he's a creep. But WTF? You had sympathy for Paul Manafort, for Christ's sake, who is much creepier and has done a lot of illegal stuff. How on Earth do you explain thinking that the problem with the media is that it was too hard on Paul Manafort, calling attention to crimes that would have otherwise escaped attention and leading to his punishment for breaking those laws, but you are upset with the media for not spending enough time trashing Hunter Biden, who at least used his connections in what seems to have been a completely legal, if somewhat distasteful way?
