After new evidence emerged corroborating Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation against former Delaware senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the major news networks failed to ask a single question about it on the Sunday morning shows.
Two people rumored to be on Biden's potential VP list, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and Stacey Abrams (D-failed politician), were not asked a single question, despite Sunday appearances on ABC and NBC, respectively. Speaker Pelosi also made the rounds on Sunday, where she too wasn't asked a single question about the new evidence. The speaker did say she supports releasing prisoners, however, which would only increase the number of sexual assaults across the country.
The media's double standard on sexual assault allegations is glaring. The "believe women" crowd is replaced with the "ignore women" crowd when the allegations are directed against a Democrat, especially one who's about to be handed the Democratic presidential nomination.
When Justice Brett Kavanaugh was being confirmed by the Senate, the media ran wild with unsubstantiated, implausible allegations of sexual misconduct. Julie Swetnick, who had zero corroboration and kept changing her story, dominated the news cycle. Her disgraced attorney, Michael Avenatti, appeared on the Sunday morning shows and was given 35 minutes by CNN to push the false accusations. The false accusations made by Kavanaugh's accusers received 9/11-style coverage, but not a single question from the media when the accusation is leveled against a Democrat.
The media is already ignoring evidence that Joe Biden lost his mind. Now they're ignoring evidence of his alleged sexual assault.
Let’s wait until after he gets the nomination.
I don’t think Biden makes it to the convention. Democrats have to know Biden has no chance against Trump and down ballot races will be a disaster.
Democrats can have as many standards as they want when they know the media will cover for them regardless of what law, or rules are broken. They also know how gullible, and ignorant the average Democrat voter is.
The meto movement never had anything to do with obusing women...it was always about abusing Republicans!!!
Name me a Democrat that does have a chance against Trump!!!
Cuomo, Mooch, Newsom, They only have win Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn. By the way it will be one of these three.
NY Times writes that Republicans fear Trump losing and that the senate is gone.
Reminds me of the old Reagan days when we heard we would lose all the way to election day. The media hasn’t changed.
#DropOutBiden still going strong on Twatter...
BernieBros pissed... anyone from media, etc telling you the Dems are united behind Sleepy Joe is full of s.
this will hang over Sleepy Joe until he addresses it directly... but I think he’s too far gone to even remember and too senile to even hold a real press conference.
Michigan not looking good for them....

If Schmidt has his way, most of the Republican senators up for re-election will ditch DJT because the LSM is saying that the Republicans will lose the Senate unless they do, and since the elites are the news scum, they will believe the elites since they are one.
If the MSM won’t report it, why not OANN, The Blaze, Newsmax, etc.? Why is anybody waiting around for the big networks to do this?
This has to cause the MSM to lose even more credibility. Well, I guess that assumes most of the viewedrs are rational. Or sensible.
Lucky for him there isn’t going to be a convention.
Its NOT a double standard..Dems dont have ANY standards, the commies in the media do whatever the DNC and Media Matters tells them to do, they are puppets for the DNC always have been always will be..if Tara Reade had accused a Republican ANY Republican of the same thing and there was Larry King Live proof, it would be 24/7 coverage, but they have to protect Biden, Biden is their only chance of getting back power and they will cover his a@@ at all costs
Of course, I'm tempted [to accept the mini-bills, but]… if there's no political heat, if there is no television story on it, then nothing happens.
This just in from the
“If the media didn’t report it, it didn’t happen” department
