evidence against Hunter Biden. She is not only critical of the republicans in the house, who are immunizing these so called whistle blowers, who are themselves committing crimes, making it difficult for the DOJ to charge them, but also equally or more critical of the media that parrots them without considering the credibility of their sources.

It is finally someone willing to call them out, showcase what they are doing that has so been needed in this media environment. This is a quote from a 2020 article about the Hunter Biden nonsense by Insight.org that continues to be true today:

"The media is still under some illusion that fairness and balance means devoting equal attention to allegations about, and stories potentially damaging to, both candidates--rather than devoting proportional attention to allegations and stories according to their credibility, scale, scope and importance."
