Cracks in the Wall: CBS, PBS Finally Cover Joe Biden Sexual Assault Accuser

Journalists and networks are finally, reluctantly, being forced to cover the claims of Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer for Joe Biden who accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of sexual assault. CBS got to it on Thursday and PBS’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday night.

On PBS, Amanpour talked to Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez, reluctantly wondering, “I need to ask you this, obviously, because it’s a story in newspapers, on the AP, allegations by a woman called Tara Reade who accused the Vice President of sexual assault in the '90s when she worked in the Senate office. Obviously, the campaign is denying it. What and how are you going to deal with these allegations? Particularly in our Me Too World.”

“How are you going to deal with these allegations” is about the lamest way a journalist can press a Democrat on something awkward and difficult. The Perez interview went on for 13 and a half minutes, but the sexual assault discussion was disposed of in 1 minute and 26 seconds.

Correction for PBS. The Vice-President is Mike Pence. He hasn't been accused of any improper action.

As an honorific we may address a former office holder by the title they once held if we're speaking with or writing to them. But discussion about them,in their absence, should specify 'ex' or 'former' ahead of the former title.

Former VP Biden has been accused by a former employee of inappropriate actions while he was a long term US Senator. His swimming suit(lack of)and Zero Social Distance moves over the years suggest a closer look at the accusation is in order.
