    I can think of 3 reasons why the journalists are interested in this.

    1. its saucy.

    2. Hunter Biden potentially learned how to be a man and inherited his character from his father

    3. 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.
