What you seem to be missing in your argument is that history presents the facts that media has in the past and is currently doing what they always do when a Democrat is accused of anything wrong.

1) Not cover it
2) Run interference for Democrat and run down accusers

Every single time, this is the playbook. Again, I'm not sure if Mondays are the day they all have conference calls to discuss their strategy to be the enemy of the people, but the coordination cannot be denied and is now a fact that cannot be debated that the press is the pocket of the Dem's and has been for a long time.

You people blame everything on the media. You're all Trump's little lap dogs. It's sad really.

No one is saying Biden is guilty, but he should absolutely face the same scrutiny that others have faced. The MSM has continuously raked Republicans accused of sexual assault over the coals while dismissing such accusations against Dems, in some cases even defending them. Responsible journalism provides equal coverage and asks the tough questions. Media should be scrambling to ask Biden about this, instead we get crickets.

So you don't believe in equal coverage? I don't see how expecting that makes anyone "Trump's little lap dogs". That's the responsibility of a free, unbiased press. If you cannot see that, then I find that sad.

I think you people overblow the media coverage tremendously. I think certain stations like MSNBC lean left or are more liberal and stations like FoxNews lean right or are more conservative. It's just so easy to blame everything on the "liberal media" and not make an actual coherent argument. It's a lazy approach.

I will pat myself on the back and say I was very fair during the Kavanaugh investigation/hearing. The same level of scrutiny should apply to Biden now that others have stepped forward with statements.

I will also say I was very skeptical of the K accusations. I'm equally skeptical of the Biden accusations. I also said something about this type of thing being used as a weapon in the future against politicians after the K hearings. And here we are.

New York cancels Democratic presidential primary

I'm not sure how this works. Can they have a brokered convention? Cuomo?

If these accusations against Biden are true, there would be a brokered convention. Basically a free for all with the delegates in attendance. They could vote in anyone they want, so long as they can attain a majority over several rounds of votes. I don't think this will happen, but it is 2020. Who the hell knows?

Quit dancing. Has the media given this fair and equal coverage to these Biden accusations? You know they have not. Again, I'm not saying he's guilty, nor making a Trump comparison, but the story should be covered, questions should be asked, and that is not happening.

CNN ran over 400 reports on the accusations against Kavanaugh.

How biased is your news source? You probably won’t agree with this chart
Notice the location of Fox compared to CNN and MSNBC

If the accuser is willing to testify under oath where the penalty of perjury applies, then I bet it will get a lot more coverage.

She probably won't get that chance. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be covered. If Biden wants to contest her accusations, he could sue for slander.

You're dancing around, looking for absolution for both the press and Joe. The best absolution is covering the story rather than acting like they have something to hide.

How many have Fox News and other sites ran against Biden? I'm not sure what media everyone consumes, but the questions about Biden and Reade have been all over my news feeds for the last few months.

No one has been willing to ask Biden directly about the accusations. This has not been given the coverage it should be getting.

In the case there is a brokered convention, there are two ways the DNC can commit suicide and give Trump four more years. The first would be selecting someone that didn't run in the primaries (Cuomo, Hilldog, etc.). The second would be selecting Bernie Sanders.

So that's your justification? You realize you're practicing situational morality, right?

When this happens again, with a Republican, I'm sure you will suddenly find your voice.

Yeah ... that is a big steaming pile of horse pucky. If CNN and msnbc were equally left as Fox is right I would tend to believe it more . CNN being where it’s at ... nope

Edit : after looking closer at it , that whole thing is laughable

There are plenty of others. Google "media bias chart".
Fox is more right than CNN is left. There is no denying that.
I think what all the charts will show is that there are media sources covering the whole spectrum.
