Joe Biden feeling the heat over Ukraine
Story continues below advertisementThe deputy manager of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign slammed The New York Times on Wednesday in a letter to the newspaper’s executive editor — blasting the paper’s coverage of the former vice president’s involvement in Ukraine.
The letter, written by Kate Bedingfield to Dean Baquet, criticizes the paper for “giving top billing” to “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer in a Wednesday op-ed titled, “What Hunter Biden Did Was Legal – That’s the Problem,” CNN reported.
In his article, Schweizer asserts Biden was “self-dealing” in Ukraine while vice president.
“Congress can and should conduct an inquiry to determine whether anything illegal occurred,” Schweizer writes.
Bedingfield goes on to criticize The Times’ Ukraine coverage at large. She writes that the newspaper had an “outsized hand in a baseless conspiracy theory” promoted by Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, that Biden acted inappropriately in helping get rid of a Ukrainian prosecutor.

She then accuses The Times of “active participation” in a “smear campaign” against Biden, citing a May article titled “Biden Faces Conflict of Interest Questions That Are Being Promoted by Trump and Allies.”
The Times later pushed back against the Biden campaign official’s assertions, according to a statement obtained by CNN.
“Our coverage of the Biden campaign and Hunter Biden has been fair and accurate,” the newspaper wrote, adding it “will continue to cover Joe Biden with the same tough and fair standards we apply to every candidate in the race and we’re happy to sit down with Biden advisers anytime to discuss news coverage.”
The Times’ statement emphasized the Schweizer story was published in the Opinion section, “where their mission is to invite intelligent discussion on a range of opinions and ideas.”
The Biden campaign also sent letters to Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday, asking them not to run ads from the Trump campaign that promote what it described as conspiracy theories about the Bidens in Ukraine, according to CNN.

Biden’s best move would have been to just take the CA$H and NOT run for the Presidential Office.
Agree. Left/liberals/jihadis want to suppress free speech as they don’t like their crimes/lies exposed !
In UK sharia Police go after those who protest muslim gang rapists and other crimes http://bit.ly/2r6F3cp
Free speech only for Left/liberal jihadis
….while they put Tommy Robinson in a rotting prison with the population of that prison at 85%…..the UK is vicious and already lost..
that WAS the plan…but then he forgot about it….
Agreed. After all, he has the right to remain silent, right?
…..even Obama told him, “you don’t have to do this, Joe….you don’t have to run.”
I’m guessing Obama already knew about the corruption of Joe and his kid, but kept quite because of how it would make his administration look…..OR….he was cut in on the deal as well.
GREED
“Biden Blasts NY Times…” plain and simple racistic islamophobia!
Dem0rats: it’s not a crime when we do it!
Now we know why Obama hasn’t endorsed him yet……Obama already knew about all of this ….
Joe Bitchy is melting down faster than Chernobyl
Let’s not forget about Hunter’s 1.5 BILLION haul from China!
Hunter was thrown out of the military for cocaine use. He divorced his wife and shacked up with his brother’s wife after Beau died for two years. Hunter met Melissa Cohen in Calif.. In less than a week of meeting her, he secretly married her! They had an impromptu wedding on some apartment rooftop. Melissia a 32-year-old South African filmmaker. Does Hunter strike you as a sharp guy with his act together for China to give him 1.5 billion or collecting 50K a month from the Ukraine?
Hunter, Melissa and dear old dad, Joe Biden.
Hunter collected 1.5 BILLION from China for doing nothing kosher….If you think it is kosher, do explain!.
Did Father-in-law Touchy McFeely get to dance with the son’s new bride at the wedding ??
Nope. He didn’t attend. All creepy Joe got was a phone call.
I’d bet Hunter was higher than a kite. Hunter is a drug addict.
You would think that a politician would be glad to see the NYT print a factual story on occasion. Oh wait, that is what they DON’T want.
So Joe thinks it’s just great the media falsely and viciously reports on President Trump…..but anyone dares to tell the truth on him and his family, he’s outraged.
Another example of “for me, but not thee”.
I don’t think the NY Times is reporting for the good of the election process on Joe. I think they have another candidate in mind and they want Joe out.
Well, Joe…..Obama told you not to run….and you just didn’t listen.
It is absurd to believe that the sclerotic obviously demented and physically declining Biden was ever a serious candidate. He has always has been and will continue to be a stand-in for Hillary who will emerge soon as the Commiecrat front-runner. Carlos Slm’s New York Times mouthpiece is just doing its job: preparing the way for Hillary.
Damage control – too little, too late. Looks like the Dim establishment wants to unload Slow Joe and his drug addict spawn.
Hey, Joe, methinks thou protesteth too much! FACT: YOU admitted (actually bragged about) arm-twisting a foreign leader by overtly threatening to withhold a $billion loan guarantee from the U.S. to the Ukraine if the prosecutor investing corruption in an energy company that put your son on the board was not fired, which he was.
By your actions, you, mister former VP, aided and abetted your son,Hunter; and Hunter is guilty of influence peddling based on YOUR name and YOUR position at the time. Your “righteous indignation” is so phony…because it’s your party who continually spews that “no one is above the law!” Et tu, “quid pro Joe.”
NYT printed it? Remember the horse’s head story in the God Father? That’s the DNC telling Joe he’s got to GO Away.
