America's biggest liberal news outlets have avoided reporting on the latest Hunter Biden scandal, amid claims he inadvertently used his father’s credit card to accidentally pay an escort $25,000.
The United States' most popular left-leaning publications and news networks – including The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC – have made no mention of the story in the 36 hours since it was broken by the Post, and confirmed by DailyMail.com
On Wednesday evening, CNN host Jake Tapper did mention Hunter on his show - but only while discussing the president's son's paintings with Republican writer Kristin Soltis Anderson.
Soltis Anderson blasted Biden for cashing in on his dad's name, and selling his artworks to anonymous buyers. But no mention was made of Biden's alleged payment to the sex worker with his dad's plastic.
This isn’t the first time mainstream media outlets ignored controversy surrounding the president’s son. They previously blanked a June 7 DailyMail.com exclusive about Hunter using the n-word, and have faced hypocrisy claims after running multiple stories on the alleged wrongdoing of Donald Trump's children while he was president.

Mainstream media outlets previously ignored a June 7 DailyMail.com exclusive about Hunter using the n-word. Donald Trump Jr. tweeted about the double standards that would arise if it had been one of Donald's children
When the n-word story broke, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that coverage would have looked far different if it involved someone in the Trump family. ‘Try to imagine one of the Trump kids dropping the n-word,’ he tweeted.
This week, CNN have run a story about Ivanka and Jared Trump distancing themselves from Ivanka's dad, as well as a follow-up analysis of that claim.
The story about Hunter using his father’s credit card for sex with a prostitute was covered numerous times on Fox News - including on shows hosted by the network's most popular stars Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.
But CNN did not mention the credit card story, and MNSBC avoided it altogether.
The lack of coverage has prompted outrage among conservatives with many taking to Twitter to accuse the liberal media of double standards.
Michael Champlain referenced a video from the incident in which Hunter balances a line of M&Ms on his penis, which was documented in files stored on the laptop. He wrote, ‘Remember when they told you that President Trump’s children lacked morals because they operated businesses? What are they going to say about Hunter balancing M&Ms on his erect penis for a prostitute?’
Another user called OddBiff wrote, ‘Too funny...So receipts and texts show Hunter Biden spent thousands on President Biden's credit card for prostitutes .. Was shocked the news is not saying it was Ivanka Trump he paid just to smear her.’
Stacy Herbert called out MSNBC for not providing any coverage of the scandal, writing, ‘Unlikely that Maddow, who had been so eager to air the Trump pee tape, will be airing any of the contents of the m&m's on penis photos.’
And a Twitter user named Punished Donut wrote, ‘Hunter Biden could shoot someone in the street in broad daylight and you’d still bring up Trump.’
Meanwhile, only more conservative-leaning media have unraveled the story about a series of wild nights that Joe Biden may have accidentally paid for his son Hunter to have with a prostitute in 2018.
It was early May that year when Hunter Biden ordered Yanna, an escort, who billed herself as 'Russian, Green Eyes, Thin Brunette, an elite courtesan' from his favorite site, Emerald Fantasy Girls, according to files obtained by the New York Post from his 2017 Macbook Pro.
'Hi, My name is Rob.' he texted the woman on May 7, 2018, using his first name, Robert, before telling her he was staying at The Jeremy Hotel, 'Are you available now?'
During her visit to the Los Angeles hotel, the two had sex, drank vodka and filmed porn while he smoked crack, according to the Post. At one point Hunter balanced a line of M&Ms on his erect penis - all of it documented in files stored on the laptop.
Hotel bills show Hunter then moved to a $470-per-night room at The Jeremy in West Hollywood later that month, where he hired another escort while under the protection of two recently retired Secret Service agents.
And messages saved on the laptop show Joe Biden might have inadvertently been the person actually paying the bill for the wild week, according to the
