Fox News reports, Piers Morgan openly blasts the mainstream media for ignoring the Hunter Biden email scandal.
Morgan explained that journalists have an obligation to investigate potentially important claims to determine their veracity. no matter what their personal perspective is on the matter.
“[I]t doesn’t matter what side you’re on here. Journalism, freedom of speech, dictates — the First Amendment dictates — that when a story like this drops, and it’s not being denied by the people it’s accusing for six days now, clearly there is something there that they want to hide.”
“The job of a newspaper, of a television network, of anybody, frankly, in the media, who believes in freedom of speech and believes in journalism is to go and investigate the allegations the New York Post has made.”
“Imagine if we switched the names around. Imagine if the story was about Donald Trump Jr. and Donald Trump. What would be happening? Do you think that the tech giants would be suppressing the story would the mainstream media be ignoring the story and say that it’s all just an unfair smear on the Trumps?”
“What is going on when liberals want to attack and suppress freedom of speech?” he asked.
“If Joe Biden was to win does he think the story goes away? Of course it doesn’t,” he said.
