Former President Joe Biden’s audio recordings with his former ghostwriter were released after a series of court orders were not appealed. The tapes, spanning roughly 70 hours, contain conversations that were previously kept private. The release follows a prolonged legal dispute over whether the material should remain confidential.
CBS News, a lean‑left outlet, leads with the legal battle and notes references to classified material, while omitting any mention of the ghostwriter’s role. PJ Media, a right‑leaning source, foregrounds Biden’s “fight like hell” to keep the recordings hidden, using more sensational language and leaving out the legal context. The Washington Examiner, also right‑leaning, emphasizes the ghostwriter angle and the decision not to appeal court orders, but does not reference the classified‑material claim highlighted by CBS.
