CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp exposed a double standard in the media on Sunday, and CNN host Brian Stelter could not answer for it.
What happened?
During a discussion on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” about the controversial text messages of Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Cupp said the media’s reaction highlights an awful double standard and rush to judgement.
Case in point? Cupp said look no further than the deliberate suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
“The conflicts have been, you know, questioned by everyone, including, like, Sean Hannity,” Cupp said of Justice Thomas and his wife, adding that “outrage is warranted” and that Justice Thomas should be examined to determine whether he has a conflict of interest.
“But,” Cupp continued, “you don’t have to look far to find a very similar story that was really ignored by the media and, in fact, called false over and over and over again.”
Morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC haven’t uttered the name “Hunter Biden” in 259 days despite ongoing scandals surrounding the president’s son, according to a study by the Media Research Center.
“It has now been 259 days — 37 weeks — since July 12, 2021. That’s when any of the corrupt network newscasts last uttered the words ‘Hunter Biden.’ Scandal after scandal, nothing seems to shake the determination of the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news shows to keep the public from knowing about the President’s wayward son and his sketchy financial and foreign dealings,” MRC research director Scott Whitlock wrote.
