Sen. Ted Cruz is accusing CBS News of “media bias” after the Australian version of “60 Minutes” recently featured Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who accused Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden of sexual assault.

Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, is demanding to know why the interview wasn’t aired in the U.S., where Mr. Biden is running for president.

“This is the most complete indictment of media bias ever,” the senator tweeted. “Why does CBS think voters in…Australia need to know about these serious charges against Biden, but not voters in…America (where he’s actually on the ballot)?

CBS did not respond to Senator Cruz...

It is strange indeed...CBS sold the unaired interview to some Australian TV station? CBS really needed some cash?

In the interview, Tara Reade did not sound as if she was planning to vote for President Trump... She called Biden "blue Trump"...

They screamed rape for every woman that hinted Trump had sex with them for 4 years and now silence for Biden.

Biden is a sleazy guy.

Australia has their own edition of 60 Minutes.

Yep, and it’s a hard hitter too.

I did actually watch the Youtube clip of the interview...After I posted the article...

The interviewer is an Australian...

I think Australian reporters came to US to interview Tara Reade...

I just found out that it is OK to use F word on Australian version of 60 Minutes...In Australia, 60 Minutes program is not on cable TV...

Tara Reade said that Biden told her that he wanted to “F” her up...She actually said the F word to the reporter...

After the incident, Biden told her “Come on, man”...

I guess Australian reporters don’t really care if this interview does not help Joe Biden...

Cruz calling out CBS, Cruz calling out Marc Cuban and the NBA’s hypocrisy, Cruz calling out CNN for their Trump coronavirus coverage - the guy is one of the most forceful champions of the right wing today. If he runs in 2024, he’ll almost certainly get my vote.

Yep. I didn’t like him in 2016. Some of his statements rubbed me the wrong way. Now that I’ve had a chance to get to know him better through his Verdict podcast with Michael Knowles and seen him discuss his positions more, I’ve done a complete 180 on him. I would fully support him if he ran again in 2024.
