A lame attempt at deflection Gonzo. 

No deflection from some dumbass calling me a liar. If you're not ADD, you're just plain stupid. Thanks for clearing that up.

No, I'm neither. In my chosen profession, which requires a 4-year college degree and periods of extreme concentration on details, I don't know how I could have a successful thirty year career if I was stupid and had ADD.

And here we have a mouth breather like yourself descending into profanity, and showing that in reality you are just a mini-NightHawk on this forum.  Practically zero substance and opinions,  just insults and down votes.

Enjoy your day waiting by the mailbox for your government check.

Why Are the Mainstream Media Ignoring Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Accusation Against Joe Biden?: https://reason.com/2020/03/30/joe-biden-tara-reade-sexual-assault-media/

Quote

On September 14, 2018, The New York Times reported the existence of an unverified sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The story cited three people who had read a letter sent by the accuser—Christine Blasey Ford—to Sen. Diane Feinstein (D–Calif.). Ford was not interviewed for the story; indeed, she wasn't named.

Unconfirmed reports of a teenaged Kavanaugh assaulting a teenaged Ford evidently merited coverage from The Times. This prompts an obvious question: Why is the paper of record now declining to publicize a very troubling allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden?

The Times is hardly alone in this regard. The mainstream media have remained bafflingly silent about Tara Reade, a former member of then-Senator Biden's staff who claims that he sexually assaulted her in 1993. Reade's name has only appeared twice in The Washington Post, and both were quick asides: A news roundup from April of last year briefly acknowledged an earlier, milder version of Reade's accusation, and a recent rapid-fire Q&A asked a Post political reporter to weigh-in on the political ramifications "of the Tara Reade bombshell." (The nature of the bombshell is not described.)

And while the coronavirus pandemic is obviously dominating news coverage, CNN has made plenty of time for Biden. Chris Cillizza is still ranking Biden's potential veep choices, and the network conducted a virtual townhall event with the candidate last Friday. Reade's name didn't come up, and it has never appeared at CNN.com. At NBC, it's the same story: Chuck Todd interviewed Biden but didn't ask about the allegation.

Reade's story has garnered some coverage elsewhere, most noticeably from The Hill and The Intercept. Some left-leaning news sites—The Huffington Post, Vox—have written about it, and of course conservative media are all over the story. But the biggest mainstream print and TV outlets are, at present, silent.

I am not the only one to notice this. The Columbia Journalism Review notes that "media outlets on both the left and the right have covered Reade's claim, yet mainstream news organizations have mostly avoided it." That article links to a piece in The Guardian—part of a recurring feature called "The Week in Patriarchy"—that suggests the media may be ignoring the story because Reade's accusations will be "difficult to prove." To its credit, the Guardian piece acknowledges that this would be inconsistent with how the Kavanaugh accusation was handled.

That's what's most frustrating about this lack of mainstream coverage. Ideally, all media outlets—mainstream or otherwise—would tread carefully with respect to decades-old accusations. They would not rush to publish unverified rumors, instead carefully vetting them to the best of their ability. They would consider whether every salacious or scandalous detail of an important person's past is worth revisiting.

Perhaps that's what reporters at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other outlets are doing. (I have heard it third-hand that various stories might be in the works, but nobody at those publications would confirm anything to me.) But Reade has already come forward. She has already identified herself and told her story. At this stage in the process of the Kavanaugh accusation's public reveal, the mainstream press was already actively covering it.

As I wrote last week, there's a case for taking Reade's accusation more seriously than Ford's, since the behavior described by Reade (penetrative sexual assault during Biden's Senate years) is even worse than what was described by Ford.

And while it's certainly true that there's currently a global pandemic unfolding, that isn't a good excuse to avoid discussing Reade. In fact, there's some reason to proceed quickly: The Democratic Party will soon nominate Joe Biden to be its presidential candidate, but Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) is technically still in the race, and he is still making the case that he should be the one to face President Donald Trump in November. Whether or not Biden is credibly accused of sexual assault is extremely relevant to this rapidly approaching decision point. This seems only slightly less urgent than covering Kavanaugh's alleged misbehavior during the period immediately before his confirmation to the Supreme Court.

If the media's rule is this—We're going to proceed extremely cautiously when revisiting unverified sexual misconduct allegations that are several decades years old—then fine. But that's a new rule, isn't it?

It would certainly appear to be the new rule, and only apply to the liberal side of the uni-party coin.

I don't think the timing is right for this yet, Sanders is still on the ballots.  Governor Cuomo will be pushed forward as a suitable alternative to the former VP when the time is right. (ie: Sanders drops out)  IMHO.....

Except you didn't even verify before blindly posting something from Reason.com. That isn't necessarily true.

Sexual assault isn't good when anyone does it, and it's certainly not limited to Political parties. Most of it gets swept under the rug unfortunately, no matter who commits it.

You could be correct. On this day in 1968, LBJ bowed out. Hence paving the way to a Nixon victory. The rest is history.

I didn't blindly post,  I read the entire article before posting.  But's it's clear you didn't read it, judging from the links you posted:

Based on a CNN interview last night, Cuomo repeatedly stated he is not going to run for president. The DNC realizes the democrats have no chance with Biden. He is incapable of stringing together a sentence. I believe Biden will be cast out. Hillary will come to the rescue and will be their nominee again. It will be hilarious.

I'm sad that you support sexual assault when committed by anyone other than a Democrat. That tells us a lot.

I abhor sexual assault, no matter who does it.

Definitely a possibility, as I have been saying for months now.

If you say so.

I don't recall you expressing your abhorrence toward anyone who wasn't a Democrat though. Following the logic of one of your posse earlier in this thread: if you don't condemn it, you condone it.

Unlike you I don't have a "posse" on this forum.  

So I guess we all need to start individuals forum threads where each and every one of us specifically lists each and everything we personally condemn.  Therefore there will be no question, right?

Of course since I am an adherent of the Zero Aggression Policy, and sexual assault by it's very nature is an aggressive act against another individual,  I'm already covered.
