You shouldn’t applaud the @nytimes “investigation,” which purports to be “Examining Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden.”

The piece, serves as a cover to Biden, holding the words of his long time “personal friends” as staff over that of a survivor

(1/7)

The first glimpse you get into the article is that Biden’s current spokesperson and some staff members do not recall Tara’s accounts. In the article the staff members voices given more weight are Biden friendly vs those who do remember Tara being abruptly reassigned (2/7)

Tara Reade notes that she did not file a police report as her mother suggested, she filed a complaint with staff.

Conveniently no record of this complaint exists— and the NYTimes investigation doesn’t ask “why/how come?” Do complaints against Biden usually “disappear?”

Let’s look at the staff accounts who Tara Reade filed the complaint with: Are these accounts from people that you would expect to “do the right thing?”

“Differing recollections”— surely this means 0 staffers can corrobate any part of Reade’s account? WRONG. Other staff (not personal on staff Biden friends) recall Reade’s abrupt change of duties. No explanation— this matches Tara’s events of what happened post-complaint!

They’re yet again, failing victims of crimes.

This is now the 8th in this thread— since I wasn’t going to add it— but the most egregious part of this NYT piece is upfront they lie that corroboration isn’t found— when their own piece notes otherwise; and imply Reade can be imprisoned for a “false police report”

The entire part of the @nytimes piece was to paint Biden as a man who “would never do this,” and yet:
