I have been recently reading

post about Ashley Biden and realised how quickly this story started dying out.
Imagine if Assange or Putin have been taking showers with their pre-teen daughters in a manner that was "inappropriate", the world would have gone crazy.
All the Facebook ads and YouTube recommendations would have been force-feeding us this story for the next year, until we would start getting nightmares about it.
Hollywood would film a blockbuster and Netflix would make a 10-season series about it.
But in the world of double standards, the leaders of the enlightened democratic west and their relatives can indulge in any illegal and disgusting activities with no consequences.
They can smoke crack and still be eligible to make decisions that affect the lives and fates of millions of people. They can molest the minors and no one would care. They can imprison whistleblowers, and win the noble prize for peace.
