Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Charged in Wife's Murder
Should the media investigate the Biden family's associations or focus solely on the legal merits of the murder case?

The Spin
Right narrative
This tragedy adds another complicating layer to the Biden family legacy. Stevenson's long history with the Bidens goes back decades and the Biden name will now be associated with this horrific event.
Left narrative
Coverage of this tragedy by some on the right and the association with the Bidens is irresponsible. The divorce between Stevenson and the former first lady occurred decades ago, and it's unfair to harp on this correlation.
