Turley: The Grifter Defense--Dems Embrace Influence-Peddling...With a Twist...

While progressive foot soldiers continue to insist that there is no evidence whatsoever of Biden influence-peddling, Dems on the front lines realize that dog won't hunt. They still chant that mantra, but they're also falling back to a series of prepared positions. The newest one is roughly: sure, they were peddling influence...but they never held up their end of the bargain! They were grifters, but they never did what they were paid to do.

   And the MSM is their toady.

   For two years, the nothingburger of Russiagate was all we heard about. When their hand-picked investigator turned up nothing...they simply refused to accept it, and many continue, to this day, to insist that there was Russian collusion. Real, actual, almost-impossible-to-deny evidence of Biden corruption has been silenced, dismissed, denied, and finessed away for three years now. The almost-exactly-opposite treatment of these two scandals tells you much of what you need to know about our ideologically-captured news media. It's Democrat talking-points disguised as journalism.

   Trump is a crook a priori--evidence is irrelevant. Biden, on the other hand, is a lovable, avuncular goofball--except when he's laughably represented as "Dark Brandon"...then, y'know, he's an edgy quasi-anti-hero, feigning incompetence while fighting for Justice(tm). Anyhoo, what's not to love? Evidence, again, be damned.

   Behold the dangers of The Narrative(tm)... Shit rots your mind, yo.
