The Palin family still enjoys nationwide coverage, whether it’s Bristol’s boyfriend’s mother’s drug problem or Bristol’s boyfriend’s apprenticeship issue, the MSM is all over it. So, you hear the one about Biden’s sons and the fraud charges? Me neither:

NEW YORK (Legal Newsline)-Claims have been settled that U.S. Vice President-elect Joe Biden’s youngest son and brother defrauded a former business partner in a hedge fund deal that went sour.
Court papers say the case was ended last week “without cost to any party.”
The case involved former lobbyist Hunter Biden and the Illinois law firm SimmonsCooper LLC, which ranks as a top campaign contributor of Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del.
Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, had, at the time the senator was campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, tried to gain 10 percent interest in the New York hedge fund Paradigm Capital Management Inc.
SimmonsCooper — an East Alton, Ill., law firm that specializes in representing asbestos victims — committed $2 million to the deal but withheld half of the money amid concern that Investment adviser Anthony Lotito Jr. was mismanaging the earlier funds.
Part of the deal was that Hunter Biden would be installed as the fund’s chief executive officer, at an annual salary of $1.2 million. Hunter Biden is a former senior vice president of Wilmington, Del.-based credit card company MBNA Corp.

The settlement, according to the piece, is “confidential.”

The MSM in a nutshell: A high school kid with a new baby tries to get a job on the North Slope and everyone investigates. This, not so much.
