Why would Trump even be mentioned in a story about a sexual assault allegation against Biden?
It's beyond parody. They basically ignored the allegation for weeks, then published a full defense for Biden that includes whataboutism.
The double standard is so transparent that it's embarassing.

And I don't even agree with the Kavanaugh comparisons others are making. While the allegation here has significant weaknesses (I personally do not believe it), it is 100X stronger than the allegation against Kavanaugh. This was an actual Biden staffer!
Remember the press spent a month essentially arguing that underage drinking was evidence that Kavanaugh committed sexual assault, but a long pattern of "hugs, kisses, and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable" proves Biden's innocence. 
Honestly, that isn't even the craziest line in the story. This line where they imply Reade filed a false police report and could face consequences is insane. Can you imagine them implying Ford or Ramirez should face consequences for a false allegation in their initial reports?
Good for @benyt for asking these ?'s, but answers are not convincing. Baquet says they wanted full story before publishing, but then says that wasn't needed for Kavanaugh because that was more public?
That was public because they reported on it...

Also, Baquet admits they edited out the end of the line about other sexual misconduct in response to complaints from the Biden campaign....
