the fall of cryptocurrency company ftx As big a scandal as the Democrats insisted the Enron debacle was for former President George W. Bush. The man who handled the wreckage of Enron is now in charge of managing the end of FTX.
but our Largest National Media Outlet Going to end that FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was the second largest donor to the Democratic Party in the 2022 election cycle, contributing more than $40 million, second only to socialist agitator George Soros . The former crypto king made the largest donation to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020, amounting to $5.2 million.
Just look at how the Alphabet networks shied away from troubling facts on December 14th.
On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” chief business correspondent Rebecca Jarvis: “Sam Bankman-Fried was a major political donor and he invested in a number of companies, and now there’s a call from those politicians and those businesses to give that money back. are coming.”
On “CBS Mornings,” Capitol Hill reporter Scott McFarlane: “Federal prosecutors allege Bankman-Fried violated campaign finance law, directing millions in campaign contributions to both parties, some of them, he says, with stolen customer funds.”

On the December 13 NPR podcast “Consider This,” NPR business reporter David Gura said: “Bankman-Fried, a large political donor, has also been accused of violating campaign finance laws.”
Not everyone played the fool.
CNN’s Randy Kaye noted in passing that “he donated more than $900,000 to candidates for the midterms and nearly $39 million to outside groups. Most of the spending favored Democrats.”

The most outrageous take on SBF donations came from MSNBC’s “All In” host Chris Hayes. He was under fire at Fox for furthering right-wing conspiracy theories. “Now, there are two big problems with the story they’re telling. The first big problem is that Sam Bankman-Fried, it turns out, was not a partisan donor. By his own admission last month, he did just that. Gave for Republicans as they did for Democrats.”
So wait a minute. Bankman-Fried is on record for huge Democrat donations, but should the impostor be automatically believed when he claims he made massive but untraceable donations to the GOP?!
Hayes was putting all his crypto-punditry on the empty words of the SBF: “All his Republican donations were black, the Republican Supreme Court enabled black money, that he was able to funnel to Republican donors regardless. Please tell Tucker.”

Hayes didn’t mention that Bankman-Fried claimed she gave “dark money” to Republicans because “reporters f— out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I don’t want that.” Was fighting.”
Republican politicians were on the SBF list. Nick Popley in Time magazine reported Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine as receiving the maximum individual contribution of $5,800. But it doesn’t equal being the No. 2 Democrat sugar daddy of 2022.

Bankman-Fried duped a large number of left-wing journalists with his talk of “effective altruism”, growing into the super rich and giving everything away. Even now, they cannot admit how easily they were duped.

The clearest evidence of journalistic frailty always emerges in the coverage of scandals. Republican scandals are raised to the skies, and Democrat scandals are buried or carefully debunked.
The transparent favoritism of the media elite is at the heart of why they are not trusted by most Americans.
