That Joe Biden's touching is only becoming an issue now confirms liberal media bias

As the press gives more attention to the mounting accusations against Joe Biden for inappropriate touching, it is only doing more to confirm all of the suspicions that conservatives have about liberal media bias.
The New York Times quoted two more women as saying they felt uncomfortable by the way Joe Biden touched them, which follows two other accusations of a similar nature.
However, there is nothing particularly new about the idea that Biden is handsy. The fact was well known for years and demonstrated in many photos and videos. A number of conservatives tried to argue that his creepy behavior shouldn't simply be dismissed as just a cuddly Biden being Biden. At the time, though, the matter was largely ignored by the media, treated as a joke, or waved off as "faux outrage."
It's hard to argue that the issue was irrelevant at the time, and that it's only emerging now because Biden is considering a run for president. It's not as if he were an obscure figure at the time these incidents occured. He was the vice president of the United States.
