John Solomon Gives Us Less Than Meets the Eye — Again
"John Solomon Has Documents That Prove Joe Biden’s Extortion Prevented Ukrainian Officials from Indicting His Son Hunter Biden"
Another non-starter on the front page of the Post, by their resident non-starter reporter.

Like NFL coaches who always seem to land with another team no matter how many bad decisions they make, some reporters are able to churn out a steady stream of mediocrity, with little consequence.
For whatever reason, Washington Post scribe John Solomon appears to have achieved this status, and has been milking it for years. (We first flagged .. http://www.cjrdaily.org/politics/solomons_stenography.php .. some of his suspect work when he was with the AP back in 2004.)
But we were hardly the only ones to notice. Solomon was raked over the coals .. http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001782.php .. last October for a series of articles he wrote for the AP about Democratic Leader Harry Reid, which turned out to be much ado about very little. In the stories, Solomon tried to tie Reid to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, suggest that a land deal in Nevada was shady, and made a big deal over Reid’s accepting passes to a boxing match from the Nevada Gaming Commission. These stories omitted critical details that directly affected how seriously the charges should be taken, and in the end none were serious enough for Reid to be admonished by the Senate ethics committee.
