Former CNN head Jeff Zucker and former NBC News head Phil Griffin defended their organizations' decision to limit coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story during a panel at the "Unconvention" in Philadelphia. The executives cited the involvement of Rudy Giuliani and a lack of verification as reasons for their skepticism. Host Michael Smerconish admitted that the toxic media environment made him hesitant to cover the story on CNN despite discussing it on his radio show.

Former MSNBC host Ed Schultz revealed that the network's president, Phil Griffin, explicitly ordered him not to cover Bernie Sanders' 2015 presidential announcement. Schultz, now with RT America, alleged that MSNBC was "in the tank" for Hillary Clinton and managed coverage to favor her campaign. He argued that the mainstream media's primary focus on advertising revenue prevents honest reporting on anti-establishment candidates.
