It reeks of corruption, though, in the sense that Joe is most likely not using his office purely as it was intended. Only a person with their head buried in the sand can't admit that it is at least plausible that Joe was using his office for personal gain, either for himself (unproven) or for his family (far more likely).

And, yes, the answer to your question is that the MSM just has decided not to cover this scandal. It's that simple.

If Joe was using his status as VP to arrange meetings with foreign diplomats and Hunter in return for monetary compensation that would be paid to Joe then it is criminal. That doesn’t include the fee Hunter implies was paid to Joe and how that relates to money laundering. Obviously, if Joe is getting a cut of the laundered money, then that too would be illegal. 

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they’ll charge Joe with anything, but if he’s an accomplice then this goes beyond just corruption.
