The New York Times reported on Hunter Biden's attempts to leverage his connections at the Obama State Department for business gains back in 2016. This involves a meeting with an Italian official aimed at resolving issues for geothermal energy projects pursued by Burisma, Hunter's employer. The article suggests that the Times' coverage comes too late and only as damage control now that Hunter's political relevance has diminished. It critiques the Times for previously dismissing serious allegations against Hunter and implies it serves more as a protector of Democratic interests than an unbiased news outlet.
On Friday, the Times reported that in 2016 Hunter used his connections at the Obama State Department to try to set up a meeting with an Italian official to resolve regulatory hurdles to geothermal energy projects that his employer Burisma was pursuing in the Tuscany region.
We'd say the Times' willingness to at long last cover this comes better late than never, but it only published the story now that it doesn't remotely matter anymore.
At this point, the Grey Lady isn't exposing anything, just trying to patch its own reputation: See? We cover Democrats' scandals, too!
Pretty embarrassing, if any decision-makers at the Times can still feel any shame at serving as a PR firm for the Democrats.
