I know I've criticized Katy Tur on this site [View all]

more than once, and I am not retracting anything I've posted. In fact, nothing she's done recently has made me change my mind. She is a shallow journalist who is trying to ride her 2016 coverage of cheato for all its worth with no acknowledgement of how dangerous he is and how demented he sounds NOW in 2024. She defends him constantly.

BUT, apparently she is trending on twitter and has been for the past 24 hours or so because she made a point of saying that Jill Biden was not Hunter Biden's birth mother. It was in the middle of a discussion about how Jill has supported Hunter throughout the trial. Many posters are really offended by this. I am not sure if it is that offensive to me (I did hear it live), and I think I just took it as a statement of fact. Nevertheless, so many are offended by this that maybe I am missing something. I have never raised a child that was not mine biologically, so that could be it.

Then again, it's the kind of detail that she is always trying to inject into discussions about Biden, while she never does that with cheat's family. And we all know how much material there is there.
