Virtual Blackout: Liberal TV Networks Bury Joe Biden Sex Scandal
PJ Media ^ | 04/29/2020 | Tyler O' Neill

Posted on 04/29/2020 7:01:19 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is facing a growing sexual assault scandal, but Americans who only watch left-leaning TV networks may not have even heard about it. Biden’s former staffer Tara Reade went public with her claims on March 25, and since then new evidence has arisen, making her accusation far more credible than Christine Blasey Ford’s claims against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Yet left-leaning mainstream media outlets have nearly boycotted the story over the past month.

The Media Research Center (MRC) analyzed the news coverage on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and PBS between March 25 and April 27. During that month-plus period, these networks devoted a paltry 27 minutes and 31 seconds to Reade’s sexual assault allegations. By contrast, ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news shows dedicated nearly six hours to Ford’s accusations against Kavanaugh in the twelve days after Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) went public that there was an unspecified allegation against the Supreme Court nominee.

ABC and NBC have not even spent one second on the Tara Reade story, however, according to MRC. CBS has devoted a paltry 63 seconds, while PBS gave the story seven minutes. CNN and MSNBC are all-day news networks, so they had more opportunity to cover the story, but they haven’t. MSNBC covered Tara Reade for four and a half minutes in mid-April, and CNN completely ignored the story until Saturday, when it dedicated 14 minutes and 54 seconds to it.

They have buried it since it happened. Biden is a hoax.

The COVID-19 crisis has given the socialist globalists who have taken the Democratic Party their great opportunity. They despise American nationalism and America’s heritage. They realize that it is now possible given the political fallout from this crisis to elect a creepy, demented puppet as President. Soon things will get so bad that people will lose faith in their institutions and government. This will make world governance more palatable and possible.

Wow. If the Dems actually nominate Biden with this hanging over his head, they are dumber than I thought.

Once Biden is nominated, Trump will light twitter up with this.

They buried the Hunter Biden/Ukraine corruption. They buried the plagiarism. They buried his mental deterioration. They buried his odd hair-sniffing of young girls and his groping.

Of course they are burying this. It's what they do.

if they don’t care that he molests little girls on camera, right in front of God and everybody, why would some adult women matter?

The networks don’t seem to have learned a lesson about Trump- he is not McCain or Romney. Once the campaign ramps up, Trump will bring it up-who knows, Tara Reade might be seated in the front row of the first debate. They might think it will quietly go away, but Trump will make sure that it doesn’t.

Every scandal ever involving the Obama-Biden regime in the years between 2009 and the beginning of 2017 was buried by the mainstream media in almost exactly the same way, so Obama could later claim “not even a smidgen of corruption” during his years in the Oval Office.

We all know that was not true, but the problem for Biden is, the “memory holes” controlled by Winston Smith in the George Orwell tale “1984” have not yet been fully perfected, and some of the contrary facts keep escaping the attempts to smother them altogether.

We have pictures and videos. And written accounts made at the time, that have NOT been doctored.

Once again the media reinforces Americans belief that the press cannot be trusted.

Until they decide Joe is a liability, then it’s ‘Katie bar the door’.

The Democrats and media (redundant) are using the Clinton playbook for a scandal. Ignore it. Deny it. Smear the accuser. Minimally report it at a time and place that it is least noticed. Respond that it has already been thoroughly addressed and “let’s move on to important things”. After all, “what difference does it make now”.

The average low-information voter will hear nothing of the allegations or else will hear that all the “smart people” know the allegations are false.

Anytime I see photos or videos of Biden molesting little girls it creeps me out right away.
There is a video of Barr or was it Jeff Sessions that grab their niece away from Biden just before Biden groped her.

They all know Biden is a child molester and assaults women sand is crazy to boot.

More revealing about the Rats’ ignoring this story was the way they ganged up on an honorable man, Kavanaugh, when there was no credible evidence of sexual assault. To contrast that with this one is a study in Rat hypocrisy.

The media knows its role. Its job is to paint a false but pretty picture of any democrat candidate, and to dredge up any lie at all that can be to Trump’s detriment.

Look what they did with bammy. They transformed an America-hating marxist into an eloquent genius who would calm the seas and cure all ills.
