Joe Biden

During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel leveled the media by calling out their hypocrisy in blacking out the rape accusation against Joe Biden, while they had tried to eviscerate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The rebuke was so potent that fill-in host Martha Raddatz appeared unable to make eye contact and avoided looking at the camera while…

The New York Times Editorial Board strangely suggested the investigation of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden can’t be left to the media. What? They proposed having the Democratic National Committee investigate. Then the DNC called that "absurd," that Biden had already been fully vetted in 2008 by the Obama campaign.

Recently appointed New York Times media columnist Ben Smith has hit the ground running. Unlike his predecessor Jim Rutenberg, Smith manages to find alternatives to attacking Fox News again and again. On Friday he dove in to the lack of press time for Tara Reader, who has accused probable Democratic nominee Joe Biden of sexual assault: “Why Won’t Television News Put the Accuser on the Air?” It's…

Susan Page of USA Today joined The 11th Hour host Brian Williams on MSNBC Friday night to discuss the allegations of sexual harassment and assault surrounding Joe Biden and argued that it is unfair that Biden is hurt more by such allegations than President Trump because, unlike Trump, Biden is running as a nice guy who cares, a "decent human being."

The networks and cable channels have been dragged, very slowly to the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden. After not covering it at all, CNN last Saturday broke down and offered stories. So did ABC on Thursday. NBC finally did so on Thursday, previewing Biden on Friday's Morning Joe. But what took the network so long? Well, one might recall that NBC hired and employed Matt…

Joltin' Joe Biden, you want a woman for your vice-presidential running mate? Look no more. The outrageous Megan Rapinoe is willing and able to handle the job ... and continue her pro soccer at the same time. Your big decision just got easier!

On Friday afternoon's edition of The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino, former DNC boss and Fox News contributor Donna Brazile labored aerobically to avoid saying she believed (or didn believe) Tara Reade's allegation of sexual assault by Joe Biden in 1993. Perino picked up the line of questioning from (fellow) former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, but neither was having much success in…

Broadway star and activist/actor Billy Porter, who’s a favorite guest on ABC’s Good Morning America and The View, appeared on the latter show Friday to talk about the two topics of the day, the 2020 election and coronavirus. While there, Porter urged Democrats to unite behind Joe Biden to defeat the “terror” Trump. He also claimed the national lockdown due to coronavirus was a warning from Mother…

On her MSNBC show this afternoon, Wallace said, as someone who was once "a part of the Republican party," that when it comes to Tara Reade, "the right" is not being "intellectually honest," and is instead "running a smear campaign against Joe Biden." In contrast, those honest old Democrats are simply seeking "consistency" about #MeToo. Wallace ended her anti-conservative diatribe by warning, "…

Hours after Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski grilled presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden over sexual assault allegations against him, political correspondent Mike Memoli appeared on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports to suggest that the coronavirus pandemic was the reason that much of the media were slow to cover the scandal.

CNN journalists seem to be switching to an alternate reality when it comes to the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations. The network that didn’t cover the story at all for a month now says that “the media has been reporting on this extensively.” On Friday's New Day, Dana Bash derided competitor MSNBC, where Biden finally gave an interview on the topic, as a “home team” venue for the Democrat.

Con respecto a cobertura de las acusaciones serias de agresión sexual contra el exvicepresidente Joe Biden levantadas por su exempleada Tara Reade, los medios hispanoparlantes en Estados Unidos han brillado por su ausencia. El estudio más reciente de MRC Latino revela, de manera predecible, que este no siempre fue el caso.

On Friday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe conducted the first exclusive interview with presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden about the sexual assault allegations leveled against him by former Senate staffer Tara Reade. The exchange became quite contentious as co-host Mika Brzezinski repeatedly called out Biden’s hypocrisy and demanded that more records from his Senate career be released to thoroughly…

When it comes to coverage of the serious allegations levied against former Vice President Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade, the nation’s Spanish-language national news media have been conspicuously absent. MRC Latino’s most recent study shows that, predictably, this wasn’t always the case.
