The video is NSFW due to language and the graphic description of Joe Biden's alleged conduct.

If you can't grasp what my posts said or know the legal differences between harassment and assault, that's on you. I think I've had decent conversation with those in this thread, including those I disagree with. I'm not going to get into a cherry-pick with you as you've done here and in other threads.

Good day.

lol ok

Well, bye,

Are you saying it's OK to sexually harass a woman?

Sexual harassment is obviously bad and sexual assault is obviously worse.

Then what point were you trying to make, that is was ok if Biden harassed her as long as it wasn't assault?

I think GA was making the point that to him thus far the evidence is more indicative of Biden being guilty of sexual harassment than sexual assault and that part of that is tied to his view of Reade's credibility.

I don't see where he said or implied that sexual harassment of women is OK.

I applaud any of our left leaning members who have had the courage to post their opinions, almost regardless of what those opinions are.

I think it is fair to say we have some who were very active in the Kav discussion who won't darken the door of this thread.

The democrats have lost any moral high ground they had on the "me too" movement.

What happened to believe victims?

They celebrated clinton, they celebrate Biden.

The whole thing is forking ridiculous.

we have to choose from Trump or Biden?!?!?

America is a kakistocracy!

Buy this man a cape.

No need to buy me anything.

The very purpose of the MCB is for people of different political persuasions to engage in discussion about political topics. If you don't like it, you can stay in the liberal silo. To make a comment like the one you made, well... let's just say, you left yourself open for that sort of retort.

There is no denying that SOMETHING, whether it was harassment or assault, happened with Biden and Reade. It will not change the mind of voters in November. If you support trump after 18 accusations of sexual assault and confession and 3 years of his administration, there is little to nothing that will make you change your mind and vote for someone else. If you don't support trump or took a chance on him and now see the results 3 years later, you will treat the Biden accusations in the same manner that trump supporters treated his 18 accusations and vote for Biden. The fact that trump supporters are here talking up these accusations just shows that a vast majority of people that support trump don't care about the hypocrisy of the whole situation.

This whole is akin to stop sign runners. How can one driver get mad at the other for not stopping completely when they themselves have no intention of stopping completely?

If you had no problem with supporting trump in light of 18 credible accusations, then you shouldn't really be here crowing about people continuing to support Biden with 1 accusation. It used to be that this type of stuff mattered. We are past that time.

1 accusation and tons of creepy videos of him touching and sniffing girls inappropriately. Let's not leave that part out.

In his defense, they smelled great!

I'll bet if Biden is elected sniffing kids is gonna be the next big fad. That and making up stories about how much street cred we all had back in the day when we stood our ground against the Corn Pops of the world.

NPR says that NPR dropped the ball on covering this.

The writer also said...

"
I don't believe NPR was trying to give Biden an edge. And I didn't find evidence of a double standard, but creating standards on a case-by-case basis leaves the newsroom defenseless against those charges.

Ultimately, NPR was slowed down by the frustration and complexity presented by an accusation of an assault that either did or didn't happen 30 years ago. "

It's a good read overall.

 

[wardorican]

I have to give credit to the NPR public editor for calling out her employer and boy does she hit the nail on the head for NPR as well as the NYT, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, & CBS.

Read that again. I had to read it twice myself. She's not saying they did these things. She is saying that NPR being slow, "FEEDS THESE THREE NARRATIVES/SUSPICIONS".

i.e. it makes it easy to think these things. At the end, she basically doesn't find any evidence of it.

NPR was not slowed at all back in 2018.
Sept.12 Feinstein sends CB. Fords letter to the FBI
Sept. 14 the New Yorker released an article on CB. Ford
Sept. 16 the Washington Post publishes an interview with CB. Ford
Sept. 17 NPR publishes: https://www.npr.org/2018/09/17/6488...man-accusing-brett-kavanaugh-of-sexual-assaul

So, I guess they learned from their mistakes? That is a good thing I guess. It seems they, as well as a lot of other media sources, need to do a hell of a lot better a job at journalisming.

I think it also has to do with how the information becomes public.

A John or Jane Doe trying to call the NYT saying they were molested by someone is going to need to be verified more closely than a US Senator, discussing this with someone for a while, then eventually sending it on to the FBI, which then leads to news reporting. Even that article from NPR was a couple days after the rest, and they were careful to say "alleged" and laid it all out there.

I"m also not fully up on what happened behind the scenes with Ford, since that info seemed to percolate over the summer before the Fall reveal.

Personally, I just think NPR was hit by COVID19, which wasn't an issue in 2018. They depend on donations, and I'm sure a lot were dropped. They have spent a lot of time and energy on the pandemic. I honestly don't hear a lot of politics from NPR lately, other than Politics with Amy Walter and the other political podcasts.

Yeah, it was probably just timing of the covid that prevented the media from covering the Biden story with the same relish and tenacity of the Kavanaugh story.

So if they believe her, why are they not representing her anymore?

Yep she has lied about all kinds of stuff.

Reade stated under oath she had an undergraduate degree that her college said she never earned and appears to have exaggerated her role in Joe Biden’s office.

Wait, she lied about her academic record? No wonder Biden was so attracted to her.

They're soulmates!
