Not getting as much airing as it should, in my opinion, is the fact that it is not true that the Biden acted corruptly in Ukraine.
The Intercept discusses it here.
And here is the Washington Post on it.
Both articles are from May 2019.
Many people on Twitter are furious that the New York Times in particular is playing this for Trump just like they did Hillary's emails. They are helping normalise Trumpian rumour mongering, even when there is plenty of evidence already that it is not true.
As has been written thousands of times, the problem is that a lot of journalism does not know how to respond to being played by a bullshitter like Trump.
Update: Max Boot's column on this is good too.
Update 2: and read this thread on Twitter.
Trump's behaviour certain;y brings in impeachment for the first time in realistic terms
