The article criticizes these media organizations for downplaying or overlooking the scandal, suggesting a bias that protects Democratic officials from accountability. It warns that the media may dismiss Arctic Frost as a right-wing conspiracy, despite evidence pointing to potentially unlawful and partisan investigations by the DOJ and FBI under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is authored by Beth Brelje, an investigative journalist and elections correspondent for The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/broadcasts\/1yNGabAeQVQJj\">Senate Judiciary Republicans<\/a>         <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/30\/arctic-frost-is-100-times-worse-than-watergate-but-corporate-media-refuse-to-cover-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Arctic%20Frost%20Is%20%E2%80%98100%20Times%20Worse%20Than%20Watergate%E2%80%99%20But%20Corporate%20Media%20Refuse%20To%20Cover%20It&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/30\/arctic-frost-is-100-times-worse-than-watergate-but-corporate-media-refuse-to-cover-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Arctic%20Frost%20Is%20%E2%80%98100%20Times%20Worse%20Than%20Watergate%E2%80%99%20But%20Corporate%20Media%20Refuse%20To%20Cover%20It&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/30\/arctic-frost-is-100-times-worse-than-watergate-but-corporate-media-refuse-to-cover-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/30\/arctic-frost-is-100-times-worse-than-watergate-but-corporate-media-refuse-to-cover-it\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Arctic%20Frost%20Is%20%E2%80%98100%20Times%20Worse%20Than%20Watergate%E2%80%99%20But%20Corporate%20Media%20Refuse%20To%20Cover%20It&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/30\/arctic-frost-is-100-times-worse-than-watergate-but-corporate-media-refuse-to-cover-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The Joe Biden-era FBI&rsquo;s Arctic Frost operation &mdash; which targeted nearly every facet of the Republican Party and the conservative movement &mdash; was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schmitt.senate.gov\/media\/press-releases\/senator-schmitt-blasts-biden-fbis-spy-campaign-we-should-have-watergate-style-hearings-for-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">described<\/a> Wednesday as &ldquo;100 times worse than Watergate,&rdquo; but the propaganda press <em>still<\/em> chose to ignore it.
