When Pravda speaks, people wonder

out from the black hole

Last week the New York Times published a lengthy investigative article on Joe Biden’s lending a helping hand to his son Hunter, so that the boy could enrich himself at the corruption trough that is Ukraine. A neat summary of that report can be found at The Daily Caller, but the real question is why, since this is old news to everyone except heretofore-shielded Times readers, has the paper chosen to dig up the scandal now? Just as in the old days of the Soviet Union and its house organ, Pravda, there’s always a hidden message in what the Times chooses to cover and the timing behind such coverage.

And it’s not just the stench from Ukraine that the Times and the Washington Post are revealing: next up, more details on Ol’ Joe assisting Hunter in China. Again, nothing new here, but it will be interesting to see whether this turning against Biden signals the selection of a “preferred” candidate for the newspaper, or simply the first step in the Deep State’s selection process to decide which candidate will be the “right” one for the nation’s voters.
