Fox News contributor Miranda Devine on the mainstream media's coverage of Hunter Biden in 2020.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Fan on the show,
thank you so much Griff
everything from a global
pandemic to a presidential
election sets the stable for a
variety of gaffes mistakes and
even some lies
from the mainstream media. In to
twenty
New York Post columnist.
Miranda Devine joins me now to
break down a few of her
favorites and to share her wish
for the media in twenty twenty one.
So Miranda, let me first, have
you take a look at this clip
because its about the Hunter
Biden scandal, which, of course
you are so close to that story-
go ahead
Joe Biden on conspiracy?
No evidence, no facts, just
wild speculation,
some crazy Sci FI tale about
are you know, Hunter Biden and
Martians, and chinese and stuff
that seems to be no real,
credible source other than Bob
Bobulinski
Rachel Miranda that was before
the election.
Now I want you to hear them
talking after the election.
Cnn is reporting tonight that
this investigation was live
before the presidential
election.
If this was we gun in some
level in twenty eighteen, how was it kept
quiet, particularly over the last
several months?
This is a significant legal
development
in any era that the family
member of incoming president is
under. Federal investigation is a
big deal.
Will if laws were broken,
there should be justice.
There needs to be justice,
Rachel, all right,
thats, pretty remarkable turn
about there.
What do you make of this and is
the media ashamed?
Have they apologized
whats going on
are good morning Rachel?
Obviously, there is no shame
there
and there are no consequences
they just so smoothly, as you saw
there just flipped from one
side to the other.
They should be ashamed of the
fact that they suppressed and
also mocked our coverage of the
story,
and then, after the election of
course, whether it didnt
matter when Joe Biden had been
elected, they are quite happy to
go and run a little bit about
this story,
not everything,
big tech, also
its one thing for the media to
not cover the story and then to
pretend that why on earth wasnt
this story made more of before
the election,
but the main reason was because
big tech decided that it was
going to intervene,
and that was a historic moment,
because it was the first time we
had really seen. Facebook and
twitter decide that they were
going to exert their power
nakedly, obviously to story
legitimate news story in a
legitimate newspaper,
Rachel yeah. Its definitely
frightening in a democracy.
Lets talk about your second big
mistake that you think the media
made this year.
You say its the peaceful, the
quote, peaceful protest coverage.
I think. Actually we have some
video about that.
Let me show you this, and we will
come out on the other side.
What you are seeing behind me
is one of multiple locations
that have been burning in
Kenosha Wisconsin over the
course of the night.
I want to be clear in how I
characterize this.
This is a mostly a protest.
It is not. It is not generally
speaking unruly but fires have
been started.
Protest in late spring were
mostly peaceful, but damage from
looting and arson will cost
one billion to two dollars billion in
claims
Rachel Miranda we still cant
get over them, say peaceful
protests as the flames were
going off behind them.
If you didnt know, if you
hadnt lived through it, you
would think that you had just
played us three comedy clips,
because it was so so absurd,
so surreal,
but this is what you get
thats. What happened in twenty twenty,
the media decided that whatever
they decided was reality was
reality
and if they decided it wasnt
its like you know. If a tree
falls in a forest and no one
hears it fall, did it actually
fall,
and that was the medias
decision last year.
It was that whatever that was
inconvenient, particularly if it
was inconvenient to Joe Bidens
campaign or just didnt happen.
Look the other way lets move
right along
Rachel thats right.
Another inconvenient story you
bring up is Eric Swalwell
Eric Swalwell
isnt that interesting
his relationship with the
chinese spy fact. Fang was Fang, F
News story,
you havent heard it on CNN.
They still havent reported on
it on MSNBC.
This is a story again
inconvenient to the Democratic
Party
and the narrative that they are
trying to run,
and the fact is that China is as
John Ratcliffe and are
intelligence. Agencies are now
admitting is our biggest
national security threat
and to have this revelation that
the Democrat congressman who
is on the intelligence
Committee will reads: highly
sensitive. Confidential briefings
is compromised by a long time
relationship with a chinese spy
who was sent here specifically
to infiltrate the highest levels
of american government, and that
goes without much reporting at
all is incredible.
The fact that he is still on
that committee,
Rachel yeah,
that is astounding
we were just talking about this
morning. He still sits on the
powerful Intel committee. Despite
having been compromised by a
chinese spy,
all right
Miranda, you bring up great
mistakes from it, two thousand and twenty
we are hoping that two thousand and twenty one is a
better year, are to the media.
We look forward to having you
back again in two thousand and twenty one and everyone
read her article in the New
York Post
and all of her investigations.
You have been Vipsd indicated
quite a bit this year.
Thank you. Miranda for joining.
