What if there were hearings over credible evidence that the presidential “autopen”, used to sign legislation, executive orders, pardons, etc., were being controlled by Republican operatives and not the President himself?
Do you have any doubt our media would present it – correctly – as a huge scandal? Do you have any doubt they would demand the people using that “autopen”, thus running the presidency instead of who we elected, be outed and made to pay for their criminality?
While you’re pondering that (I would think the pondering process would take, oh, about a half-second), you might want to read the first three paragraphs of Geoffrey Dickens’ article for newsbusters.org:
On June 18, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing into whether then-President Joe Biden was actually in charge — given his clear mental decline. A focal point of the investigation was the concern that the autopen was being used for executive orders and pardons without Biden’s knowledge.
At the hearing, titled “Unfit to Serve: How the Biden Cover-Up Endangered America and Undermined the Constitution,” Sen. Eric Schmitt underlined the gravity of the issue: “Under President Biden, the autopen became a troubling symbol. A symbol of an absentee president and an executive branch directed by nameless, faceless, aides that no one outside of Washington DC had ever heard of and no one ever voted for.”
MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening, morning and magazine news programs, from June 18 (the day of the hearing) through the morning of June 23, and found there was NO coverage of the “autopen” hearings.
Zero coverage. Not even a mention. If you rely on ABC, CBS or NBC for news you do not even know these hearings took place.
Outrageous beyond belief.
Why can’t we trust mainstream media for news anymore? I’d say this gives us a pretty clear reason (among many, many others). Wouldn’t you?
