After DOJ's Reversal on Hunter Biden Special Counsel, the Media Still Suspect Nothing

New York Times: "Why Naming Weiss Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden Case May Not Change Much":
One oddity about Attorney General Merrick B. Garland’s decision to give special counsel status to David Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Delaware who has been leading the investigation into President Biden’s son Hunter, is that both Mr. Garland and Mr. Weiss have already said the prosecutor was empowered to act independently.
That means making Mr. Weiss a special counsel may be more of a cosmetic gesture—essentially formalizing what has already been the case—than a new reality.
Politico: "Prosecutor Overseeing Hunter Biden Probe is Named Special Counsel":
As special counsel, [Weiss] has authority to bring criminal charges related to his probe in any part of the country he wishes. Garland had said previously that Weiss already enjoyed that authority, but two IRS agents told Congress that Weiss was blocked from bringing charges in different judicial districts. Weiss has disputed the agents’ accounts and promised to testify to Congress himself.
PBS: "What The Special Counsel Appointment Means For The Hunter Biden Case":
So, exactly what changed is unclear. But we do know that the attorney general, Merrick Garland, said, David Weiss came to him, called him on the phone on Tuesday, and said he had entered a new stage of this investigation, and he believed it was important to appoint him as special counsel.
To be fair, some journalists have tentatively started to ask questions.
