Apparently all the DNC backed media like CNN, NYT, and WaPo who are solidly in the far left corner of the political spectrum are saying it shouldn't be because the Biden accuser is suddenly.....not worthy to believe. Imagine that, the left's sets the rules by acting like 2 year olds during the Kavanaugh hearing, now being forced to play by the rules they set "BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!" they cower down and say it's not really a good thing to do that.

You think it should be covered less?

I’m kind of surprised by that.

I don’t think she’s credible but I feel like people ought to be given all the facts and able to decide that for themselves before they vote. Even if that means one side will exaggerate/lie to prop her up and the other side would exaggerate/lie to bring her down.

I commented days ago. Just like the Kavanaugh non sense, with 25 years of passing the accusers can pound sand. Purely political. I have not reflected on Anita Hill in many years but I would imagine in review it was the same.

Joe Biden Has Yet to Face Single Question on Sexual Assault Allegations

3 weeks, 10 interviews, and 81 questions with no mention of sexual assault claim

Joe Biden has been asked 81 questions in over two hours worth of media interviews since a former staffer in his U.S. Senate office accused him of sexual assault three weeks ago. He hasn't fielded a single question about the allegation.

Biden has sat for 10 interviews with major news outlets since March 24, when his former aide, Tara Reade, accused him of pinning her against a wall and penetrating her with his fingers in 1993 when she was a staff assistant in his office.

None of Biden's 10 interlocutors have asked him to comment on the allegation. On Sunday March 29, for example, Biden sat for a wide-ranging nine-minute interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press during which he was asked about the coronavirus response, sanctions on Iran, whether Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) should drop out of the Democratic primary, and President Donald Trump's approval rating—but not Reade's allegation. He also managed to avoid questions about Reade's allegation from George Stephanopoulos the following Sunday, a primetime interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo, an appearance on NBC's Today Show with Craig Melvin, and two interviews with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.

The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the allegation or the media's decision not to press the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee about it. The networks who interviewed him also did not respond to requests for comment.

Biden himself has yet to address the accusation from Reade, who formally filed a criminal complaint with the Washington, D.C., police last Thursday. Biden spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield said in a statement that Reade's allegations are false and the incident never happened.

Joe Biden Has Yet to Face Single Question on Sexual Assault Allegations

No I guess you didn’t hear.

If you’re a Presidential candidate beginning in 2015 you can brag on TV in a video with another TV host about grabbing women by the pu$$y. The TV host on that tape gets fired 9 years after the fact for having participated in that video and the Pres candidate doing the bragging got elected President. Then 18 other women came out of the woodwork claiming the Pres did inappropriate things. The Pres had his lawyer pay off Stormy Daniel with $130,000 a clear campaign law violation sand another with $150,009. But only Trump’s lawyer went to jail even though a check with Donald Trumps signature was produced. Trump allegedly raped a 13 year old girl but paid off, yet again, with a NDA. So there is a new normal on just about every standard of our society. Trump is the defacto author of most all of them. Given this new normal, even if Biden did what this accuser said he did based on the Trump standard it’s not even newsworthy anymore. Biden can lie 30 or 40 times about it without repercussion. This is the new standard those on the right revel in. It’s part of your perceived greatness. It’s part of the new “winning”. I’ve read about from many of you over and over. We are tired of your double standards. What’s good for Dotard is good for Biden

Rant? You mean recital of new normals created by Trump and enablers of Trump ( Congress) permitting Trump not to be held accountable. That’s making America Great Again. That’s part of Trump’s winning. Surely you don’t want to hold Joe Biden to a different standard do you?

rant yes and you are continuing.

No one is saying Trump shouldn't have been asked about the accusations and indeed he has been repeatedly.

What's wrong with asking Joe about the accusations against him? Not sure what's so hard about that.

Lolololololololol at the party of Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy telling others that sexual assault, and murder for Ted Kennedy, should be held against Trump.

Disgusting peice of trash party.

WaPo Columnist Who Wrote A Book About Brett Kavanaugh Now Says #BelieveAllWomen Is ‘Dumb’ Given Accusations Against Joe Biden

By Emily Zanotti DailyWire.com

Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, who wrote a book about sexual assault accusations made against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and defended Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in the pages of her newspaper, now says the “#BelieveAllWomen” and “#MeToo” movement are “dumb” — because a similar, but credible sexual assault allegation has been leveled against the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a shocking editorial for The Washington Post, Marcus lashes out not just at Biden’s alleged accuser, Tara Reade — who has now filed a criminal complaint against Biden and who has a record of contemporaneous claims made against the then-federal legislator — but at the anti-sexual assault movement altogether.

“Reflexive acceptance of any and all allegations of sexual misconduct against any man is not staunch feminism,” Marcus writes. “t is dangerous credulity that risks doing terrible injustice to the accused. #BelieveAllWomen was a dumb hashtag and a dumber approach.”

This also reminds me of how Democrats treat the black voters and candidates.

Holy crap, even Slate says the NYT is ridiculous for this article.

Would you publically comment on allegations against you while the alleged victim was trying to press criminal charges? No defense lawyer in the country would allow that.

 

[bamawriter]

Personally, I'm giving Biden the same benefit of the doubt I gave Kavanaugh. Barring more corroboration, I don't believe this claim should be weaponized against him.

Until that corroboration is provided, the interesting story is the media's coverage of the two. They obviously aren't into the whole "benefit of the doubt" thing. But at this point, it's not at all surprising. The MSM aren't even trying to hide their biases.

The story in all of this is the hypocrisy of the press and the poundmetoo movement. The accusation against Biden shouldn't be given any credence due to the lapse in time, just as the accusations against Kavanaugh should have been dismissed out of hand.

 

[37L1]

When was the las time Biden had been seen in public?

Who is going to ask him anything but scripted questions then?

I think the strategy is, "Ignore it and it will go away."

Yes, the purpose of this thread is to point how insincere the people pushing the #metoo stories and narratives really are.

If they believed that **** they would be giving Biden the business right now. But we all know they don’t!

This was just another victim strategy weaponized to bludgeon Republicans.

When Trump gets held accountable then everyone should be held accountable. Trump has never been held accountable for anything.

Yep! But the Republican’s are being picked up in the Men's’ rooms on Interstate rest area toe tapping to the undercover cop in the booth next to him. This after he voiced his hatred for gay men. Now that’s a double standard. Lololololololol
