PJM: The New York Times apparently gave in to pressure from the Biden campaign to edit a story that ran over the weekend detailing the sexual assault allegations by Tara Reade against then-Senator Biden in 1993.
The story, which ran Easter Sunday on page A20 of the front section, originally said, “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.” That sentence was deleted, as was a tweet saying the same thing, and the sentence, “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden.”
Executive Editor Dean Baquet gave a curious defense of the edits.
“Even though a lot of us, including me, had looked at it before the story went into the paper, 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,” he explained. “And that’s not what the sentence was intended to say.”
He added, “We didn’t think it was a factual mistake. I thought it was an awkward phrasing issue that could be read different ways and that it wasn’t something factual we were correcting. So I didn’t think that was necessary [to explain].”
Is he kidding? Many women have complained about Biden’s roaming hands and while it may not be “sexual assault” it’s certainly “sexual harassment.” Some men have been fired for less. read more
That is equivalent to letting a Union boss tally a vote to unionize of not. NYT is a fully qualified distorter of Newz. In case there ever any doubt.
Joe is a top notch scum bag. Between corruption, pathological lying and sexual harassment he is the quintessential Democrat politician.
It never happened. There were absolutely no witnesses. She’s not credible. There are no witnesses to it never happening. It’s Dementia Joe’s word against her version of the incident, and he doesn’t remember it never happening. Let’s not let this become a distraction.
Of course, there are probably several other women who it never happened to who will be coming forward sooner or later.
“Paper of record” allright.
About, by and for criminals and obscuring their “records”.

There could be a movie of Joe raping people and the NY Slimes would blame the victim. Don’t forget, Carlos Slim, the owner of the Slimes, made a shitload of money selling obamaphones.
Maybe she could prove her story by describing his hairy legs.
