If those on the left are being honest with themselves, they’d realize and admit the media reaction would be a 180 to Kavanaugh’s situation.  And it’s not just that scenario.  It’s pretty much any scenario of left vs right when filtered through the media. It’s because the majority of news outlets blatantly carry water for democrats and the left and it gets observably worse and more out in the open the closer we get to an election (i.e. Hunter Biden).  

Its timing release of stories for maximum damage.  It’s sitting on stories to protect.  It’s almost completely one sided. They went so far as to, at worst, outright lie to the American people that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation and, at best, gleefully shout from the mountain tops this democrat party disinformation narrative while actively suppressing the story to protect “the big guy”.

What type of candidates do you think you’re going to get when those who are supposed to vet them in the public eye are actually completely in the pocket of the person/party they’re supposed to be vetting?

The party that said nothing while Jared Kushner became the money manager for middle eastern monarchs doesn't get to feign outrage when Hunter Biden tries to do the same with Chinese captains of industry or wives of Russian politicians. No one's even sure the money got to Hunter at all.
No one's alleging it changed Joe's behavior.  

But sure, yeah, biggest story ever.  No other story worth talking about.  No one should be taken seriously if they're not talking about Hunter Biden.

And of course the media are totally in bed with Dems at election time, like when Hillary's team planted that story about Trump campaign servers communicating with a Russian bank? The media totally ran with that for... oh days wasn't it? Oh right.  It was only hours before they figured out Hillary was lying and took down the story. 

You have a point with regard to Kavanaugh, that is an important story. But that story is probably over, don't you think? Do we need to breathlessly report every revelation on the guy's motives or state of mind?
