MSM finally does some en masse coverage of the Hunter Biden criminal investigations/ prosecutions story --- or at least parts of it --- and even President Biden is ocassionally mentioned in the narratives.....

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE NYT  >>>  "Hunter Biden agreed... on Tuesday to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept terms that would allow him to avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge...   a big step toward ending ending a long-running and politically explosive investigation into the finances, drug use and international business dealings of President Biden’s troubled son....

BUT THE NYT ALSO NOTED THAT   >>>   “The investigation is ongoing.” 

  
AND  >>>  "....  No one questions that...  [Hunter] Biden... pursued a professional path that has intersected with his father’s in ways that have raised ethical issues....  After his father became vice president in 2009, he built relationships with wealthy foreigners that brought in millions of dollars, surfacing concerns inside the Obama administration and among government watchdog groups that he was cashing in on his family name...."

ALSO IN THE NYT COVERAGE  >>>  "[According to the] five pages of documents made public on Tuesday, [the investigation] was the result of a lengthy back-and-forth between Mr. Biden’s lawyers and the Justice Department. The exchange was more akin to the interactions between the government and a major corporation facing a complex investigation....  The discussions started several years ago when Mr. Biden’s lawyers responded to grand jury subpoenas as prosecutors were examining an array of matters, including [Hunter Biden's] dealings with Chinese investors and his work for Burisma, whose board he served on while his father, as vice president, was overseeing the Obama administration’s policy toward Ukraine...."

THE NYT ALSO REPORTED  THAT  >>>  "....  In April, an I.R.S. supervisor who had been overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden hired a lawyer and went to Congress, alleging political favoritism in how the investigation had been handled. Congressional Republicans have pledged to investigate the claims, which have also been referred to inspectors general at the Justice Department and I.R.S...."

More or less similar detailed articles or features about the Hunter Biden plea deal, and the investigations and negotiations leading up to it appeared on other mainstream outlets, such as:  CNN, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, Fox News, NPR, PBS, and in the WaPo, the WSJ, the NY Post, Forbes, Politico, Axios, The Hill, and others..... 

Needless to say, much of the coverage contained exculpatory, mitigating, and/or ameliorative commentary, attempts to minimize the significance of the whole case and Hunter Biden's plea of guilt to several charges, and to close the book on all of this Hunter Biden stuff, and all of its connections to President Biden, other than the familial care of a father for a son with problems.....  

Nonetheless, there was suddenly a concerted moment with substantial coverage of the Hunter Biden saga  ---  with at least some tie-ins to some of the implications for, and many of the issues involving President Joe Biden
