The New York Times finally got around to a story (page 20-21) on sexual assault allegations made against Joe Biden by former staffer Tara Reade. The trappings were comprehensive, with many interviews about the alleged incident, but this particular #meToo tale got a cool reception, as reporters Lisa Lerer and Sydney Ember emphasized doubts, scrupulousness the paper manifestly failed to show regarding charges made against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
And there was one paragraph (encapsulated in an already notorious deleted tweet) so jaw-dropping that it was swiftly edited out. But Twitchy caught that gaffe by the Times:
Other than the unwanted "touching," no problems?
The coolly written online headline deck gave the slant away: “Examining Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden -- Ms. Reade, a former Senate aide, has accused Mr. Biden of assaulting her in 1993 and says she told others about it. A Biden spokeswoman said the allegation is false, and former Senate office staff members do not recall such an incident.”

The AP and NYT appear to be headed in two opposite directions on this story.
Even better than I’d hoped for. Send more popcorn!
#I BelieveHim
Is this a new thing?
They're not above that! They must have thought of a better strategy.
Whatever happened to “BELIEVE WOMEN”? It’s a mystery.
The NYT exists to tell lies for Democrats.
“Whatever it is, it’s been debunked. Unless you got dirt on Trump.”
The AP and NYT appear to be headed in two opposite directions “
Then AP has figured Joe can’t win. They want to take him out while they still can.
The believe women thing is only for when a Republican is accused.
Dr Feelup gets a pass for being (D)ifferent
Sure. Well maybe not. I don’t suppose anyone saw that during the Kavannaugh hearings?
The most important photo of Biden’s perversion is the video with the little girl who steps away from Biden’s hand on her breast. She knows and reacts freshly and spontaneously to his perversion. That one video would have gotten him a broken jaw in my World.
Apparently the line for Democrats is a Lewinsky
Maybe they’re still working on a package for ‘dreamy uber articulate with that Queens accent’ combOH to step up.
I remember one interview of Monica Lewinsky's father. He raised her a brainwashed liberal. Now he saw the victim she was fast becoming, trashed by Hillary and Carville, old jilted boyfriend brought out to slander her, dozens of media stories implying she was a whore who forced the protesting Bill Clinton into compromising situations while he was seriously trying to serve the nation's people as their leader.
He started to fight for her but then backed down, knowing his wimpy attempts to defend her could hurt the almighty Clinton. Pathetic.
Too early. They want as little time as possible to vet the replacement candidate.
Do you suppose Biden would throw in the towel for another house?
True. Also "innocent unless proven guilty" which is dusted off AFTER Kavanaugh and many others were trashed and slandered without remorse.
Since Cuomo is being readied as the real candidate (unless Hillary and Michelle O object, of course) there is no need to use Joe any longer. He can be tossed to the curb like a used Kleenex.
Are there any violent Joe Bros like Bernie Bros who can offer to burn down cities?
But, anyone with a brain knew the #metoo movement was a fraud designed solely to take down Trump and Kavanaugh.
