This is really what it boils down to. Even Democrats know how hypocritical they are; they just refuse to admit it.

You just don't get it.

Nobody ever said every woman should be BELIEVED. It's ridiculous to say you believe every woman. Just like men, some women lie.

Many feminists say every woman should be HEARD. Then we can decide if we believe them.

It was less than two years ago that conservatives were saying... "presumption of innocence." And, we heard back "Believe all women. We believe survivors."
I, for one, am thrilled that liberals have suddenly discovered due process.

October, 2018 - Senate offices....

Just imagine how Tara feels, especially considering the fact that she’s lifelong DEVOUT Democrat.

It’s a political party, not a religion. Sheesh.

The reason they can’t grasp that is that they’re in the GOP cult. For them, it is a religion, and one they’ve long since ceased thinking critically about.

You absolute dolts. Both of you know exactly what the PP meant. And if you truly didn’t, then educate yourselves.

Thanks for the dictionary definition. Clearly doesn’t apply to a political party.

Because the other media has reviewed the case so far and has determined that it isn't credible enough to be journalism. So far, it seems to be more appropriate for the gossip rags. The case has been reviewed by NPR, the NY Times and the Washington Post. All of them said that there were far too many inconsistencies and lack of corroboration or confirmation. They didn't say that it wasn't true, but they've said that it is currently unconfirmable. The news stations have gotten a statement from Biden's campaign and Biden himself has come out and said that it wasn't true. At this point, it is not news or journalism and is only gossip.

TV news sites have far more relevant and newsworthy topics that can be confirmed and can be verified to report. Reporting such a story adds confirmation bias to the story. It has to stand on its own merits before then. Fox News is interviewing her because they do want to add confirmational bias to her story and add validity that so far her story has not shown. At this point, the only real venues for her are conservative biased news like Fox or gossip based news like Entertainment Tonight.

Oh yeah? Is that why Julie Swetnick was interviewed for 20 minutes on MSNBC during a prime time?

NBC got shot for that, too. https://apnews.com/c5ecf76c62ec4c398e35020b5df01061

If MNSBC invited her, then they have documents/emails confirming this. I truly doubt a major news organization would be so naive as to pretend it did something it didn’t do and couldn’t document.

Agreed. I meant that the BS is Reade’s.

Tara Reade is the definition of "hot mess."

According to the tweet above, now she says she never filed a formal complaint.

Foxnews.com no longer has Reade splashed all over the top of the page. You have to hunt for it, and it's a small headline saying DNC is calling for an investigation--probably a day or two old.

Wonder what happened....

Sorry, NY Times is calling for the DNC to investigate. And The NY Times call almost certainly predated whatever just happened about Reade's story, maybe by just a few hours.

This makes no sense.

I agree. Any complaint should be investigated, let the chips fall where they may. In this case, I suspect they won't find credible evidence.

Can we at least put to rest the Trumpeter dumpster accusation that the liberal media didn't do anything on this?

I agree they were slow to get on the case. But it turns out there are a lot of inconsistencies and little corroboration. Reputable journalists (not Fox) aren't going to go into attack mode over something like this. Nevertheless:

- NY Times called on the DNC to investigate
- MSNBC invited her on their show but she declined
- NPR has done several pieces on her, despite doing its own in-depth investigation and finding no confirmation
- NY Times and the Washington Post investigated and said there were many inconsistencies plus lack of corroboration
- More I'm sure I'm missing

Let the DNC investigate. I, too, doubt they'll find much. This is the DNC after all. But more importantly, so far there doesn't seem much to find. I'm open to changing my mind, but I'll need more than what we have so far.

Totally agree. But The New York Times editorial board calling for the DNC to do an investigation is the dumbest idea ever. No one will actually think that that is a real investigation.
