Thank you for pointing this out. The legacy media’s lack of, delay in, and then ultimately biased reporting on Tara Reade, is precisely why she, a progressive Democrat, who, as she told me, is “diametrically opposed” to Trump’s policies, is covered more by Fox and The Daily...
Caller then by CNN and MSNBC. The huge irony is that it’s the New York Times and Washington Post, allegedly objective outlets, have been the ones stealth editing their stories, openly taking editorial feedback from the Biden campaign as @nytimes executive editor Dean Baquet...
admitted to you, Ben, in your excellent q & a with him. You asked him why they had edited the sentence “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable... nytimes.com/2020/04/13/bus…
" so it read "The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden." He said, "I think that the campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct. And that’s not what the...
sentence was intended to say." It's obvious that editors are regurgitating Biden talking points. The only surprising thing is that they don't have the awareness to not announce it publicly. @washingtonpost changed its headline the other day so instead of saying ...
"Developments in allegations against Biden amplify efforts to question his behavior" it said "Trump allies highlight new claims regarding allegations against Biden." They made it seem like @ReadeAlexandra's allegations are only being taken seriously by Trump supporters....
I've been dismissed as a "die hard" "avid" Bernie supporter who "encouraged" Tara Reade to come forward and tell her story. I am, indeed an enthusiastic Sanders supporter who did NOT want to be the first person to interview Tara. I in no way encouraged... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Tara to tell her story, despite the attempts to portray me as actively seeking out a helpless and hapless victim exploited by a Sanders supporter for political gain. As @ryangrim has said, Tara was determined to tell her story & required no encouragement whatsoever. I was...
brought the story and tried to get other journalists to interview her. (Also, apparently, Ryan Grim and @theintercept can't be trusted unless he's breaking the Kavanaugh story at that outlet, in which case he can be.) It's precisely the failure of "objective" media to cover...
her that made me, despite knowing that my support of Sanders and dislike of Biden would be used against both me and Tara. But people needed to know this story. If people had done their jobs instead of being the tools of the Biden campaign, this story would have been out when...
people had a number of Democrats to choose from. But ok, sure, I'm a Sanders supporter. My critics also claim I'm not a real journalist. Unlike the people who use me as an excuse to discredit, ignore or smear Tara, I own my politics and I do more op-eds, media criticism &....
the Messenger. Slight diversion, perhaps, but here are some pieces I wrote at Salon: salon.com/2013/06/11/sta…
salon.com/2013/12/16/mee… and by the way, luckily, this man Dicky Joe Jackson, was granted clemency by Obama. But maybe he shouldn't have been since i helped publicize his story. I'm not sure if I broke it but I was one of the first people to cover it. Maybe we should send...
Jackson back to jail where he can die in prison for a non-violent crime. But, back to media bias, you know who you can't accuse of having an agenda or not being a serious reporter? @RichMcHug, who helped break the Harvey Weinstein story and was @RonanFarrow's producer...
And you know who Rich has been covering? Tara Reade. And you know what he noticed about the "objective" Washington Post? They had, mysteriously enough, misquoted Tara Reade's police report. To be clear, he himself said he was not making an accusations and it could very well...
have been an honest mistake. As he explained to me in my interview with him (at 6:12) the Washington Post misquoted Tara Reade's police report so instead of reading that she ...
"disclosed that she was the victim of a sexual assault” it read that she "disclosed that SHE BELIEVED she was the victim of a sexual assault." To its credit, though the bar is pretty low, Washington Post acknowledged and corrected its error. Today @ABC tried to frame Tara's...
story as an issue for conservatives. PAUSE: I meant to include these screen shots above. BACK TO THREAD. In today's ABC story, it said Biden's event with Hillary Clinton "enabled Biden to reach out to women with no risk of broaching an increasingly tough subject... 
-- the sexual assault allegation leveled by a former aide that circulated for weeks on social media and into the mainstream press, with a forceful push from President Trump’s supporters and aides." Are you kidding me, @SashaPezenik? This probably isn't you but your editors...
but this sentence is such an obvious attempt to regurgitate the Biden talking point that this story is only believed or taken seriously by Trump supporters. To be clear, Trump's son and all the other Trump supporters who trashed Blasey Ford, whom I believed and believe, are...
are opportunistic hypocrites. The problem is, so are all the people who believe Blasey Ford and smear Tara Reade. Except they're worse because they claim to #BelieveWomen (which, i know, spare me the lecture, does not mean believing any claim by any woman) & take the #meToo...
movement seriously. But the reason they're able to do that is because you guys failed to do your jobs. Do I like Sanders and dislike Biden? Yes. Does @jacobinmag, where @BMarchetich has covered this story? Yes. Do Trump supporters support Trump... jacobinmag.com/2020/04/joe-bi…
campaign. And honestly, you guys are worse than Fox News because everyone knows they have an agenda. People have their guards up. You guys claim to be objective which makes you more dishonest. You spent the last 4 years pretending your propaganda was reporting. You will NOT...
get away with doing to Tara what you did to @atensnut Juanita Broaddrick, which is smear and defame her. How dare all of you deprive Broaddrick of any way to tell her story and then smear her for taking up the one & only chance to tell it, which is to the (in my opinion)...
and i'm obviously not speaking for Juanita when I say this, but, how dare all of you deprive Broaddrick of any way to tell her story and then smear her for taking up the one & only chance to tell it, who was the odious, misogynist, reactionary, pussy grabbing Trump who...
himself faces several claims of sexual assault? I come from a Lefty, feminist family and I can't say I wouldn't have jumped at the chance to tell my story if Trump had been the only one to let me tell it. Despite claims from trolls and hypocrites, Juanita Broaddrick's claims..
have not been debunked. @mitchellreports said they were and then had to delete that claim, though of course she never corrected it. I'm sorry, but I believe juanita Broaddrick as did (and maybe still does) @KathaPollitt, back in the day, and as does @michelleinbklyn does. Bill...
Clinton threw her on a bad, ripped her panty hose, raped her, bit her lip so it was visibly swollen and people refused to believe her bc it was inconvenient. And that, by the way, is part of why we have Donald Trump in the White House.
Here's my interview with Broaddrick, by the way. She and I couldn't be more different on most issues. And guess what? That doesn't matter. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
