Executive editor of @nytimes turns into contortionist in explaining why *immediately* reporting sexual-assault allegations against Kavanaugh—yet waiting 19 (long) days (and only after intense pressure) to report Tara Reade’s allegations against @joebiden. https://nyti.ms/2RD7afo
His explanation for why the @nytimes *immediately* reported the (obviously bogus) claims by @michaelavenatti and his (lyin’) client Julie Swetnick is particularly incoherent and clownish:
“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. So I thought in that case, if The New York Times was going to introduce this to readers, we needed to introduce it with some reporting and perspective.”
“Kavanaugh was in a very different situation. It was a live, ongoing story that had become the biggest political story in the country. It was just a different news judgment moment.”
Doesn’t this rationale apply equally (or more) to @joebiden?
Americans didn’t know about Tara Reade — because of the “mainstream” (liberal) media blackout.
How many people knew about Julie Swetnick, before the @nytimes *immediately* published her (obviously bogus) allegations?

Dear @deanbaquet:
Get real.
@nytimes—along w/ the rest of the “mainstream” (liberal) media—is protecting @joebiden.
You got shamed into reporting Tara Reade’s workplace (in the U.S. Senate) *rape* allegation against a powerful politician who was then-chairman of @senjudiciary.

Reade’s workplace (in Senate) *rape* allegation against @JoeBiden (then-chairman of @senjudiciary) is much more relevant, serious, specific & credible than Christine Blasey Ford’s.
Ford was also unknown before the media—including @nytimes—*immediately* published her allegations.

The @nytimes needs to start putting the following campaign-finance disclosure on its coverage of @JoeBiden:
“I’m Joe Biden, and I approve this message.”
“I’m Joe Biden, and I approve this message.”
Where was this supposedly necessary “pattern,” when the @nytimes *immediately* reported Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations — before the 5 other (bogus) allegations came out? https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/releases/senate-judiciary-committee-releases-summary-of-investigation-from-supreme-court-confirmation
