<According to a Media Matters analysis provided to Morning Consult, the story appeared in at least five segments on original programing on weekday Fox News programs between June 21- 28, at least 45 segments on CNN and at least 20 on MSNBC. In print, The Washington Post put the story below the fold on its front page one day after Carroll published her essay, and the news was absent from the covers of major newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times, which led their papers with news on tensions with Iran.
Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The New York Times, later told his paper that it was overly cautious about Carrolls allegations. And in the week after Carroll published her account in New York Magazine, the New York Times reported an interview with two of her friends attempting to corroborate her story, featuring it on The Daily one of the top podcasts in the U.S.>

But if trump wants to make this part of HIS campaign, then Biden should go straight for the throat and mention every single one of Trumps accusers.

(1,810 posts)The right and the left are fighting Biden.
There is a certain group on the left that often joins forces with the right to smear Democrats. Meanwhile, the right shits all over that certain group from the left and rarely calls out their own.
Its been a problem of us progressives for some time. We are under attack from all kinds of shady elements. The right is the only beneficiary.
We will win the day in the end.
