Executive editor of @nytimes turns into contortionist in explaining why *immediately* reporting sexual-assault allegations against Kavanaugh—yet waiting 19 (long) days (and only after intense pressure) to report Tara Reade’s allegations against @joebiden.

His explanation for why the @nytimes *immediately* reported the (obviously bogus) claims by @michaelavenatti and his (lyin’) client Julie Swetnick is particularly incoherent and clownish:
“Kavanaugh was already in a public forum in a large way. Kavanaugh’s status as a Supreme Court justice was in question because of a very serious allegation. And when I say in a public way, I don’t mean in the public way of Tara Reade’s.”
“If you ask the average person in America, they didn’t know about the Tara Reade case. So I thought in that case, if The New York Times was going to introduce this to readers, we needed to introduce it with some reporting and perspective.”
“Kavanaugh was in a very different situation. It was a live, ongoing story that had become the biggest political story in the country. It was just a different news judgment moment.”
Dear @deanbaquet:
Get real.
@nytimes—along w/ the rest of the “mainstream” (liberal) media—is protecting @joebiden.
You got shamed into reporting Tara Reade’s workplace (in the U.S. Senate) *rape* allegation against a powerful politician who was then-chairman of @senjudiciary.

Reade’s workplace (in Senate) *rape* allegation against @JoeBiden (then-chairman of @senjudiciary) is much more relevant, serious, specific & credible than Christine Blasey Ford’s.
Ford was also unknown before the media—including @nytimes—*immediately* published her allegations.

Where was this supposedly necessary “pattern,” when the @nytimes *immediately* reported Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations — before the 5 other (bogus) allegations came out?

Silver Lining: this helps prove what many Rs have claimed for a long time:
- #MeToo mob
- #BelieveAllSurvivors (they’ve dropped “All”)
- @TIMESUPNOW
- @Alyssa_Milano
- Abortion-industry groups
- Many in “mainstream” (liberal) media
are simply partisan hacks, fronting for Ds.

And now @michelleinbklyn from the @nytimes finally finds her voice — to undermine Tara Reade.

Here’s a thread asking @nytimes reporter @llerer her thoughts about the obvious partisan double-standard and hypocrisy of the @nytimes reporting on sexual-assault allegations about then-high-schooler Kavanaugh versus then-@senjudiciary-chairman @JoeBiden:
