Summary

Peter Schweizer doubled down on his criticism of the mainstream media’s shoddy reporting of the Hunter Biden story on the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast. “Spousal abuse is an apt analogy,” Schweizer tells co-host Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute. “You hear these horrible stories about a spouse who is abused but won’t bring charges, and they make excuses… You find the same kind of excuses being made by these journalists,” Schweizer said, calling the reporting of CNN in particular “laughable.”

phenomenon because a lot of people weren't really cheering for them. Why do you think that is?
