Most likely IMO is the media is brushing it under the rug because he donated very large amounts to the left.

Does that usually happen? People escaping media scrutiny by donating large amounts to the left?
Are there any news outlets outside of the US that wouldn’t be affected by these insidious US leftist institutions that should be reporting on it?

Not quite the same, but it worked very well for Hunter Biden. As a Canadian, the idea of Trudeau’s kin being treated that well by the idea is laughable.
There’s no question ones political connections helps them with the way they’re represented in American media, seems to be basic Washington strategy.

Oh yeah it happens all the time.
But if you notice, keep quiet, or you’ll get labeled a lunatic.

There's the myth of the "left-wing media" again.

Myth? If so, what do you consider most of mainstream media to be? It is easy to highlight Fox News as right-wing, but how would you classify MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, etc.? I have a feeling most people would respond that journalists are largely on the left ideologically and sympathetically, if not wholeheartedly progressive.

There's plenty of non-left news/media orgs. WSJ, Washington Examiner, New York Post, National Review, Daily Mail, Newsweek, Washington Times. I don't think most of those would be considered fringe media.
