But, of course, don\u2019t think the network has changed. <em>Today<\/em> reporter Garrett Haake, in his brief mention, insisted that the President\u2019s son is proclaiming \u201cno wrongdoing.\u201d Additionally, Haake made no mention of the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/16\/us\/politics\/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The New York Times<\/em> on March 16<\/a> conceded that Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop was real.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After noting that Donald Trump is again talking about the President\u2019s son and his sketchy business dealings in Ukraine, the journalist played clean up: <strong>\u201cNow, the Department of Justice is investigating Hunter Biden but he&#8217;s maintained there&#8217;s been absolutely no wrongdoing in his business deals<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The entire discussion lasted just 46 seconds. Before Wednesday, you had to go back to July 12, 2021 for the NBC morning or evening shows to mention Hunter Biden. (Back in July, the scandal of the day was his high-priced art sales as government watchdogs \u201cblasted the agreement.\u201d)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, even though NBC\u2019s new mention is rather pathetic, the network at least gets on the board. ABC and CBS\u2019s streaks are still going and they are even longer. The last time CBS said the words \u201cHunter Biden\u201d was on July 10, 2021. ABC? It\u2019s been 333 days, all the way back on the April 30, 2021 <em>World News Tonight<\/em>.

What more can you tell us about that?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GARRETT HAAKE: Yeah, Savannah, this is pretty extraordinary. In an interview with the right wing website out just yesterday, Mr. Trump calls on Vladimir Putin to release this information about Hunter Biden&#8217;s business deals in Ukraine. Now, this echoes then-President Trump\u2019s call for Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate the Bidens. That led to his first impeachment. Only now he\u2019s asking Putin to do it while Putin is at war in Ukraine. Now, the Department of Justice is investigating Hunter Biden but he&#8217;s maintained there&#8217;s been absolutely no wrongdoing in his business deals.
