In reply to the discussion: Hunter Biden blames his father's poor 2024 debate performance on sleeping pill [View all]crimycarny
(1,866 posts)That is a misleading headline. Hunter didn't "blame Biden's performance on Ambien". He mentioned several factors, including his dad basically traveling the world 3 times over in less than a week. His mention of the Ambien was more of an aside, not the main reason. Haven't we learned yet that the media will take things out of context to sensationalize??
I was very impressed with Hunter's interview. It's almost 3 hours long, and Hunter talks about so many topics. His addiction, the impact of Beau's death, his love and admiration for his dad...so many topics. Yet "Hunter blames Biden's debate on Ambien" is all the media reports on. And that is very much out of context if you watch his entire response. The entire response about his dad's debate starts at about 2:24:00. If you watch this in context, Hunter's response was nothing but a full-throated defense of his father.
Here is an example of the comments on the interview:
1. As a conservative, watching this interview was one of the healthiest things I have done on YouTube in a long time. Humanizing Hunter as a son, brother, and father helps me realize that I must not judge people without knowing them. My right leaning news sources can polute my mind as well as far left leaning media outlets. I've now recognized that I had a blind spot.
2. There's a lot of honesty here. As an addict myself, it's easy to see when someone is just saying the things you want to hear. I don't think that's the case here at all. The way he keeps saying "I'm not unique", it seems like he really understands it and means it. Amazing interview.
3. Well Im not a hater anymore. Sucks I fell for it. Mad props to Hunter for doing this on Channel 5 and nowhere else. Dude seems like a real one.
