Because CNN knows that Bernie Sanders has NO chance of becoming President..Biden is their only chance, so they are going to protect him no matter what
Don’t kid yourself, Biden has no chance either.
“they are going to protect him no matter what”
But the article points out the smart play would be to get it out there, let it fade away, and no longer be a story by June 1. The article posits that they are doing the exact opposite — NOT protecting him by not covering it at all.
Actually I think that they are going to go with Biden for a while until the convention. Then they are going to dump him using the excuse of him molesting a woman. That will give everybody an out. Biden will probably retire saying that he is going to spend more time with his family.
