In response to "ELECTION REDO IMMEDIATELY!" by Jovian

They discussed this on Bill Mahr's show on Friday and I honestly don't know where this comes from, but there may be truth to the media holding back on

it's coverage of Hunter Biden for fear of affecting the election. Mahr pressed his panelists (Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar) on whether it was appropriate for the media to do this and his concerns about playing favorites and they both struggled to respond (partly because they had not heard of this and hadn't thought about it). I think the point he's missing is just pure relevance. It's not poor judgment to withhold prejudicial information that is not really relevant. We can all agree that Hunter Biden is a mess and not a good guy, but there's no evidence of that connecting to Joe at all. Trump's remarks are obviously stupid, but prepare for a lot of debate on this issue.

- This is an intentional distraction story since 45 is leaving briefcases of national security info in rooms where the Saudis are staying. -- nm - David Aug 29, 10:49 1
  - I'll say the story is important to discuss. Making sure how/why these decisions were made is legit is an important thing. - ty97 Aug 29, 11:23
Absolutely no one cares about Hunter Biden, up to, and including, Hunter Biden. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 10:41 5

- this. its a manufactured issue created by the alt-right to attempt to hurt Joe with. Its been going on for almost 3 years now. -- (edited) - Jovian Aug 29, 10:43 2
  - The whole impeachment issue was about the Donald jacking Ukraine to get something, anything they could use ,just say you're investigating him. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 29, 13:30
  - It absolutely is, but it's going to get a lot of attention. -- nm - pmb Aug 29, 11:04
