In 2015, NY Times Attacked Hunter Biden for Working for Ukrainian Company

CNS- On Dec. 12, 2015, the New York Times ran an editorial scorching then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden for serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father was leading the Obama administration’s engagement with the Ukraine.

The editorial carried the (perhaps sarcastic) headline: “Joe Biden Lectures the Ukraine.”

Donald Trump was neither the president of the United States nor the Republican presidential candidate at that point.

“Mr. Biden was right to upbraid Russia and to pledge an extra $190 million in aid to Ukraine,” the Times said in its editorial.

“And as a Western leader who has made Ukraine his special project, he was also right to warn Ukrainian legislators to waste no more time in rooting out corruption,” the Times said.

“Though the European Union is likely to renew sanctions against Russia again in January, its patience with Ukraine is being tested by the lack of critical reforms,” said the editorial. read more

  1. The US is collapsing.

    The USA is now an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state, but Americans think that they live in a moral, peaceful, free country with a balanced budget.

    The elites control the government, media, and corporations.

    Bankers who committed fraud received billion dollar bailouts instead of being jailed.

    Jobs are being offshored, illegal immigrants are flooding the country, wages are flat, homelessness is growing, and debt is rising, but our overlords say that the economy is booming.

    There are nanny state laws, regulations, security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, searches without warrants, mandatory minimums, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, kill switches, National Security Letters, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, private prisons, FOSTA, TSA groping, and Jade Helm.

    One reason the US is collapsing today is because Americans are lazy cowards. Americans may think deep down inside that immorality, debt, endless wars, and tyranny are wrong, but there are perverse incentives that encourage people to remain silent. Anyone who is quiet and compliant is rewarded with food stamps, a campaign donation, a paycheck, or a sale. Anyone who questions the status quo is called a racist, nutjob, gets an IRS audit, is arrested, or killed.

    How much more will you take? Does your conscience bother you? Do you think that the 1% are just going to turn around and start reducing the debt, restore the Bill of Rights, and end the wars on their own?

    Silence means consent.

  3. They didn’t want Biden getting in Clinton’s way in 2016. That is the only reason they shooed him off so he could mourn St. Beau Biden.

    They still don’t want him but he’s a useful cudgel to attack Trump because he is running.

  4. With its lies, the NY times has made itself irrelevant. Who cares anymore what they have or have said? It’s like they don’t exist. We might as well talk about what Boehner did or didn’t do.
