I feel like I'm missing something. Given the substantial history of US Presidents issuing pardons to relatives -- including Trump giving a pardon to his son-in-law's father -- why is the media going along with a narrative that Biden's pardon for his son is some kind of shocking departure from previous policy?

To clarify, Carter, Clinton, Bush I, and Trump all issued pardons to relatives. I'm not seeing what the big news is in Biden doing this.
Edit: although this has appeared in a number of sources I would consider credible, it has now appeared in other credible sources that it is not true that Carter and George HW Bush pardoned a relative.
