Evening Nets End Tara Reade Blackout
newsbusters.org ^ | April 30, 2020

Posted on 04/30/2020 7:09:19 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Finally, the evening newscasts of ABC and CBS broke their silence on the rape accusation against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. While their respective morning newscasts had already covered the topic, Thursday night was the first time NBC News had dared to give it airtime.

The contrast was stark in how they covered the accusations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, where their mission was to sink his nomination. This time, they were walking on eggshells as they gingerly came to Biden’s aid.

Their sudden discovery of Reade’s allegations came over a month after she first went public. It also came after a Media Research Center study exposed their journalistic malpractice of not covering the story nor pressing Biden while they were interviewing him.

Appearing to make an attempt at making up for lost time, ABC’s World News Tonight dedicated over four minutes to the story (4:02). NBC Nightly News came in second place with almost three minutes (2:54). The CBS Evening News had two minutes, 25 seconds.

Sadly, Spanish-language networks Telemundo and Univision continued to keep the accusation away from their viewers.

Joe is being interviewed about this tomorrow morning, right?

If it goes as I expect, perhaps he’ll drop out of the race over the weekend.

“If it goes as I expect, perhaps he’ll drop out of the race over the weekend.”

I had the same thought.

No chance of that. The reason Fake News went with the story tonight is because Biden is giving the clean up interview tomorrow. This will all be in the rear view mirror after the weekend shows and Biden will continue with the campaign as if the issue never arose.

Interesting that the Rapist Plugs will be interviewed by Joe Scarbrough—a sleazebag notorious for shagging young interns, one of whom ended up DEAD in his office.

Oh, the irony LOLOL!!!!!!

He didn’t grab her butt.

He lifted up her skirt, put his hand under it and put his fingers inside her.

This isn’t going away.

those day are over, what with FOX and social media around.

FOX ain’t great but at least it gets the ball rolling.

Ironically the Daily Mail reports on this stuff before our own media

I hope he doesn't drop out.

He and his bag lady VP should carry this baggage with them through the election in November.

Lie in your bed, Joe, you made it.

No rear view mirror until Biden releases his senate records.

Tomorrow he will deny everything on camera and later the records will prove he lied.

Interesting in that Tara Reade is a DemoRat so it’s not even a Republican involved unlike Blasey Ford a total fraud hack BS artist from the opposition.

They needed time to coordinate the narrative. It is all coordinated. Democrats suck and so does the American media.

How many times did we think we had Clinton dead in the water due to scandal? Both of them. Many times. What happened there?

Biden is a Democrat and Trump is on the other side of ballot. That gives Biden immunity. I wish it was different but it is what it is.

I prognosticate he stays in until the bitter end.

If he drops out, Ukraine and China questions begin the next day for “not a candidate” Biden.

I love the “Breaking News - Biden Accused” message on the screen shot. Nothing inspires confidence in a “news” organization as when one finds it classifies information that’s been common knowledge for weeks, if not months as “breaking news”.

Maybe if they pulled their lips off the derrieres of Pelosi, Schumer, AOC and Obama for a few minutes they might notice what’s going on around them (and yeah, I do realize they know and they’re intentionally ignoring it in the hope that all the Biden embarrassment will just go away).
