Albeit obscenely late and buried on a Saturday afternoon, there was a small victory for those demanding TV news networks cover former Senate staffer Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden as CNN broke its on-air silence with a seven-minute-and-30-second segment.
The mea culpa came less than 24 hours after a bombshell story from The Intercept alleging Reade’s mother called into the August 11, 1993 Larry King Live on CNN and vaguely alluded to her daughter’s ordeal. Early Friday night, the Media Research Center quickly located, clipped, published, and tweeted the video, becoming the first outlet to share it with the world. Of course, CNN refused to give either site credit.
In the case of CNN’s case, CNN Newsroom host Fredricka Whitfield and national political correspondent M.J. Lee worked overtime to defend Biden, spending 40 percent of the report defending the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and take jabs at Reade’s credibility.
The moment came at 1:29 p.m. Eastern with Whitfield pivoting “to the 2020 campaign and why a video from 1993 is part of today’s political discussion” and asked Lee to “tell us how this video could relate to a sexual assault allegation made against Joe Biden dating to that time when he was a senator and first of all, M.J., can you bring us up to speed on the allegation itself.”
That’s quite the understatement. Before this. CNN.com had only two stories about Reade (one from just before the segment and then April 17, both penned by Lee).

Is that Taylor Swift?
It was debunked a long time ago and is just being recycled by those deplorables who have so little they can't buy a clue.
Re “CNN Finally Breaks Air”. Don’t you mean “Finally Breaks Wind”?
Well they finally did run a little on Biden and Reade’s accusation so to that I say, “Gaseass”.
Airports and restaurants and any place playing CNN should be forced to turn it off to stop the fear mongering and hateful reporting.
Slowly the media is being instructed to release this, the powers have found a way to get rid of the old drooling fool, watch.
Thanks Brown Deer.
Who will the New Democrat Presidential candidate be?......That woman with a schlong(she has a husband that doesn’t).
