Hunter Biden has been convicted of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, the president’s son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.
I’m happy this stupid trial might be on its way out from the news headlines. It was utterly unimportant, but the media was trying to hype it as the mirror to Trump’s trial. Literally the only legitimate news story was Biden saying he wouldn’t pardon his son. That’s it. Everything else is just news organizations failing to resist rightwing manipulation and/or their deeply held belief in finding a “both sides” for every issue.
I can think of 3 reasons why the journalists are interested in this.
its saucy.
Hunter Biden potentially learned how to be a man and inherited his character from his father
the business dealings thing, they’re investigating whether Joe Biden peddled his influence as senator and VP to benefit his kids financially, that he used his family as proxy for his own dishonest dealings using his position of power, or something like that.
For those 3 reasons I don’t think this story is going to go away Amy time soon.
1 is yellow journalism, 2 is aggressively stupid, Joe Biden had two other adult children, one of which was a veteran, prosecutor, and AG, and 3 has been a years-long effort by Republicans which has never turned up anything to actually implicate Joe Biden.
None of those are things that an actual objective journalist would care about, it’s just a play to be “fair and balanced” and attract conservative clicks. The last is the only one that would be newsworthy if true, but the Trump children have been unarguably profiting off him and his presidency and no one has chased that story for years.

Trump and every conservative mouth piece is going to bring this up constantly until the election. Example 1
