All We Want Are The Facts

Dave Davis Commentary, Uncategorized , , , ,

The reaction to Joe Biden’s super broad pardon of his son Hunter provoked a reaction exposing how each half of the country views things from different perspectives. Do we have any common sources of information, or do we exist in two distinct bubbles?

On one side, the president did what any father would: protect his offspring. The Justice Department prosecuted his son, Hunter, because of who he is. Nobody else goes to prison on similar charges. In any case, Hunter was on drugs when he committed the crimes, and now he’s clean and sober. Isn’t this the country of second chances?

With the holiday season upon us, forgiveness seems the right course. Other presidents have pardoned family members, so why pick on an old retiring man who spent his entire adult life in public service simply for being a loving father? A Wall Street Journal letter writer made this case, speaking for many, seeing the pardon in terms of kindness, not flouting the law.

Rather than owning up to being grinches, others see the pardon in entirely different terms. A flawed politician took action to protect family members, including himself, from exposure to his corrupt family influence peddling business. Joe Biden represents the worst of the political class. Serial lying while lining their pockets. An earlier presidential run was killed by being caught plagiarizing others’ work, but a wide array of character flaws never stopped him for long.

The volume of lies surrounding Hunter’s laptop is enough to illuminate who Joe Biden is. The computer isn’t Hunter’s; it’s Russian disinformation. The support for his contention is a letter from 51 former intelligence “experts” instigated by his campaign leader. He has yet to meet with Hunter’s clients. He never discussed business with his son. All lies. Biden built his career on a mountain of lies. Why believe him now?

I don’t want to hear it! You’re wrong, and I want no part of spreading false information. You don’t deserve a platform to advance lies. We gave you a fat contract to contribute to show us your point of view, but our elite talent showed us the error of our ways. Now get out of here and take your misinformation with you. If not the words used by NBC to dump recently hired former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Rona McDaniel, it was probably something along these lines. 

What was McDaniel’s sin? She initially supported Trump’s claim that an unfair election deprived him of victory, even though she has since acknowledged that he did lose. NBC’s MSNBC division Major on-air talent joined with others at the Network to proclaim that allowing election deniers and those interfering with elections to have a voice on the Network and its affiliates is verboten.

Of course, this must be news to Stacy Abrams, who refused to concede in her 2018 race for Georgia Governor, claiming “voter suppression” in her many NBC and MSNBC appearances. MSNBC star Rachel Maddowrepeatedly claimed Trump’s collusion with Russia made him an illegitimate president. Jan Psaki peddled the false from former intelligence people the Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian disinformation. None of this is true. NBC and MSNBC seem to have a strange relationship with the truth. Republicans must always tell it, but Democrats or NBC and affiliate employees get a pass. 

Confusing the issue further is many of the things people believe are, in fact, not necessarily so. How often have we heard that income inequality is growing? China caused massive job losses in our manufacturing sector. The rich don’t pay their fair share. Unless we take drastic action, global warming will cause enormous economic loss by the end of the century. Exporters such as those in China pay the tariffs we impose. As I’ve pointed out, though widely believed, these aren’t true.
