Study: Networks Bury Important Facts Corroborating Sex Assault Claim Against Biden
By Scott Whitlock | May 13, 2020 9:00 AM EDT
After hiding the Joe Biden sexual assault story for a month, the networks caved and finally reported the accusations by Tara Reade. But while the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening shows have now reluctantly covered the claim itself, they have ignored or downplayed important circumstantial evidence that corroborates Reade’s shocking allegation against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
First, the confirmation of a former neighbor that Reade discussed the assault only resulted in 45 seconds on the three networks. Second, court documents from 1996 have come to light proving that Reade spoke of harassment at Biden’s office in 1993. ABC and NBC skipped the development. ALL 39 seconds of coverage came on CBS. Third, her first television interview, with journalist Megyn Kelly, garnered the most coverage on CBS and NBC. Yet, ABC still managed to ignore this angle of the story.
