Continuing the week-long trend of the leftist media ignoring each and every new revelation in the rapidly growing scandal surrounding the Biden family’s corrupt overseas business dealings, the Sunday shows all blatantly ignored this latest Biden scandal in favour of a familiar media spectacle: Donald Trump.

The four liberal Sunday talk shows, which consist of ABC’s This Week, CBS’s Face the Nation, NBC’s Meet the Press, and CNN’s State of the Union spent a combined 46 minutes and 46 seconds obsessing and sometimes gleefully reporting on the news that former President Donald Trump could be indicted over his involvement with former porn star Stormy Daniels.

The time breakdown that each show spent on the Trump news was no less stunning with This Week, Face the Nation, Meet the Press, and State of the Union dedicating 13 minutes 14 seconds, 7 minutes, 6 minutes 10 seconds, and 22 minutes 22 seconds respectively.

In contrast, these Sunday shows spent no time at all on the news that House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) acquired the bank records of Hunter Biden’s business associates.

Not only did they ignore that news, but they also omitted Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden, and an undisclosed fourth Biden family member receiving $1.3 million in indirect payments from the Chinese Communist Party.

These payments came from Biden family business associate Rob Walker in 2017 after Walker received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

If a Democrat chairman of the House Oversight Committee gained access to bank records and documents showing Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump & Kimberly Guilfoyle received millions of dollars from a Russian energy company tied to Vladimir Putin, the media would go ballistic.

Not only that but the story would be plastered on the front page of every newspaper in the United States and would be the lead story on every newscast.

Unfortunately, today’s media with the exception of Fox News and a few other outlets, serve no other purpose than being the Democrat Party’s PR agents.

This disgusting bias by omission from the leftist talk shows was made possible by Carfax on ABC, IBM on CBS, Fidelity on NBC, and Progressive on NBC. Their information is linked.
