Dem Party hacks (and many of their media allies) genuinely believe it’s immoral to report on or even discuss stories that reflect poorly on Biden.
In reality, it’s the responsibility of journalists to ignore their vapid whining and ask about newsworthy stories, even about Biden.

Not even Hunter or the Biden campaign claims the emails are forgeries - which they’d obviously do if they were. And of course it’s relevant whether Biden’s son tried or in fact succeeded in getting his dad to do his dirty work in Ukraine for cash. Not cataclysmic, but newsworthy.
A journalist’s credibility does not depend on how popular they are among Democratic partisans. Craving that popularity is almost certain to lead journalism into corrupted realms. Enduring and dismissing partisan Twitter attacks is a necessary part of being a good journalist.
And if you are one of those journalists who believes it’s unethical to criticize or raise questions about Biden - because you want Trump to lose or fear getting the Maggie Haberman treatment - then don’t whine about why people turn to Fake News or don’t trust the news media.
