New York Times admits Biden team influenced edits to story on sexual assault allegation.

The change... The original sentence from the story read, "The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." It was later changed to: "The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden."

Bogus explanation for the change: In explaining the editorial decisions that were put into the New York Times's coverage of Reade's allegations, the outlet also addressed comparisons to the newspaper's treatment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's accusers. Baquet said the paper published allegations against Kavanaugh the day they were made because the larger story of sexual assault was already present with previous accusations from Christine Blasey Ford.

"Kavanaugh was already in a public forum in a large way. Kavanaugh’s status as a Supreme Court justice was in question because of a very serious allegation. And when I say in a public way, I don’t mean in the public way of Tara Reade’s. If you ask the average person in America, they didn’t know about the Tara Reade case," Baquet explained."

WTF? the public doesn't know about the Tara Reade case? How about you do your job and report on the story so people can be informed and judge for themselves?


"Kavanaugh was already in a public forum in a large way. Kavanaugh’s status as a Supreme Court justice was in question because of a very serious allegation." What a bunch of BS... Kavanaugh's accuser had no corroboration at all and the media ran full speed with the accusations. Reade's accusations has two credible witness who were told of the incident at the time it occurred. (Reade says she subsequently told her mother, now deceased, and two friends, who confirmed to the Times that she’d shared her account with them. She also says she made harassment complaints to Marianne Baker, Mr. Biden’s executive assistant, and two of his top aides, Dennis Toner and Ted Kaufman, without getting into specifics. When they didn’t do anything, she says she filed a written complaint with “a Senate personnel office,” Now, IMO,that's 100 times more reliable/credible than Kavanaugh's accuser's accusations. Isn't Biden running for President? How's that not in a public forum?

Fake biased media? This Biden accusation needs to be vetted and investigated to the same extent Kavanaugh was investigated.
