The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So the White House has sent out its marching orders to state-run media about how to cover the impeachment of Joe Biden:

Here's cnn covering it, lol:
cnn.com - White house letter news executives

The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

And right there in the first sentence is the very first talking point and lie by the WH and cnn: No evidence? There's plenty of evidence. But set that aside: the inquiries would *produce* evidence, would they not?

Clown show = cnn.

This "story" from cnn gets better:
The correspondence comes one day after McCarthy announced that he had directed three House committees to begin an impeachment inquiry into Biden. House Republicans, most of whom have denied that disgraced former President Donald Trump committed any wrongdoing, have long sought to baselessly portray Biden as a corrupt, crime-ridden politician engaged in sinister activities.

Again, this is Oliver Darcy's opinion and obvious partisan slant, not an actual news piece. Comical.

'Covering impeachment as a process story ' Republicans say X, but the White House says Y ' is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable,' Sams wrote.

Who is this Sams guy, anyway? Surely he's not the Biden regime's version of Baghdad Bob, is he?

Oh, wait - he is!

X (Twitter): Tom Elliott on X: "WH’s @IanSams46: Biden attended Hunter’s business meetings because he “loves” him" / X

Biden just went to Hunter's business meetings because he loves him and was just checking up on him! That's the ticket!
