In the timeless words of fictional broadcaster Howard Beale in “Network,” the media’s stark admission, “You’re never going to get any truth from us. We’ll tell you anything you want to hear. We lie like hell,” resonates today more than ever.

Evidence presented in the case implicates President Joe Biden in actively aiding and abetting his son’s dubious schemes. White House logs, photographs, emails, and text messages portray a vivid connection between Joe Biden and Hunter’s questionable activities, marked by corruption and the sale of access to the Biden name for promised influence.
