Why are we not surprised?
According to a Media Research Center report, the state-run legacy media mob has almost entirely refused to cover former President Biden’s autopen scandal.
ABC, CBS, and PBS haven’t covered the controversy at all; NBC dedicated 34 seconds to the story.
From MRC:
There wasn’t any reporting of the topic until a July 13 New York Times story prompted a brief 34-second mention by NBC.
In a month of coverage (June 18-July 18) ABC, CBS, and PBS have YET to devote a single second to the Biden autopen scandal on their evening, morning or Sunday roundtable shows.
In the New York Times article Biden ADMITTED he didn’t sign on to every person who received a pardon. The New York Times also reported there are emails that show then-White House chief of staff Jeff Zients approved use of the autopen.
The following is the entirety of autopen scandal coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS:
NBC Nightly News

[34 seconds]
CORRESPONDENT GARRETT HAAKE: Tonight, President Trump also responding to former President Biden who — in a new interview with The New York Times — called Trump and other Republicans liars for saying his aides had used an autopen without his authorization for thousands of pardons and clemencies issued in his administration’s final weeks. Biden telling the Times, quote, “I made every decision,” while acknowledging his staff used an autopen to apply his signature because, he said, “we’re talking about a whole lot of people.” Trump, who has also made use of an autopen, responded.
DONALD TRUMP: I guarantee he knew nothing about what he was signing. I guarantee it.
