This sort of standard for a rape accusation articulated by an NYT editor is remarkable considering where the culture of reporting was just recently with Kavanaugh

Oh come on

The Biden campaign openly calls the shots here

Circling back to this. This answer is just unbelievable on so many levels. Kavanaugh was a bigger story that Joe Biden. Kavanaugh was an evolving story, Biden isn’t. Biden’s campaign isn’t in question, for reasons, unlike Kavanaugh’s.

Biden isn’t in the public forum, Kavanaugh is. The average person doesn’t know who Tara Reade is because we didn’t cover her, unlike Ford, so we decided to take longer to cover her.

How many times does the times remove phrasing because of complaints from the White House?

To the biden campaign’s credit, they’ve been largely cooperative on many things. I have my issues with every campaign as a reporter, but the naked deference this answer implies is just incredible. Relationships are important, I get that. But you can just tell there was no debate
