Super clever, did you make that up?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Looks like we will get to hear her story:
I wonder why none of the left leaning media want the interview?Comment

Let her tell her story, and Wallace will ask her tough questions.Originally posted by nots View PostLooks like we will get to hear her story:

I really don't see how this is an example of the left-bias like to point out. This is a huge story right now across platforms, largely because of the work the NYT and other even more left-wing sources have done. In fact, despite her claims, she has done live interviews with left-leaning sources, although not MSNBC or CNN.Originally posted by nots View PostLooks like we will get to hear her story:

Also, not just about this, but in general, your focus on left-leaning media bias has me wondering--is your contention that the media as a whole favors the left or simply that left-leaning media is biased just like right-leaning bias, and you feel that is something people here need frequent reminders of? I assume the latter, but I don't see you call out Fox, conservative radio, and conservative websites like you do the left. But again, I assume/hope you do that because of where you are posting (you see mostly left-leaning sources posted here and want to point out their bias), that you recognize this bias is even more pronounced on the right, and you'd be emphasizing that on a forum dominated by Fox News viewers and Limbaugh ditto heads.Last edited by Sour Masher; 04-30-2020, 03:04 PM.Comment

I think Wallace just might do that. Of all the people on Fox who could land this, he is the most credible.Originally posted by DMT View PostComment

Maybe the same reason they've asked Biden about the alleged assault a grand total of 0 times.Originally posted by nots View PostLooks like we will get to hear her story:

Some of the first stories looking at these allegations seriously were on the left. The NYT a fisrontrunner on this, forcing this conversation to happen on the left, and just posted an article 4 hours ago about why TV media isn't booking an interview that I'd love to read, but I've exceeded more free articles.Originally posted by cardboardbox View PostComment

When did NYT start reporting on it? I saw it on foxnews.com over a month ago.Originally posted by Sour Masher View Post
And that doesnt exactly answer why no one is asking Biden about the assault."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

NYT ‘researched’ this story for 19 days after she told her story on that podcast before going with it and then let the Biden campaign remove a sentence they felt wasnt fair to their candidate. There is no way on earth they would have let Kavanaugh amend an article about him.Originally posted by Sour Masher View Post
The NYT posted Ford’s accusations ( and much more damningly the other two accusers) in less than 4 days. They also wrote a few sympathetic articles about Ford her life, her background etc. which they haven’t done for Reede. To not acknowledge the bias in the coverage of these two cases is to be willfully blind or just partisan.
Of course the most damning thing of all is that not a single journalist has asked Biden directly about it, despite over 20 interviews, fund raisers and endorsements since the story broke. How does that square with the Kavanaugh coverage?
To answer your earlier post—of course Fix is biased. So is the WaPo, NYT, MSNBC and CNN. Fox frequently gets called out here. The others rarely do (maybe occasionally by 1J).Comment

I doubt he admits to anything.Originally posted by nots View PostFinally:

I’m sure he won’t..and maybe that’s because he doesn’t have anything to admit to. But the press needed to pursue this and Biden needs to be on the record denying it, not via a statement from his campaign.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment

Oh, I think he does, but nothing that does him any favors. We are not at a place in American politics that the total honesty that David Letterman approached his extortionist would serve a politician well. He would lose more support than he gained if he admitted any wrong doing, even if it was a much lesser offense and it made him seem more credible to some if he gave an honest, believable account of events. I for one would find it very compelling if a believable account came from him, but it won't. It would be political suicide to even admit to an attempt at infidelity.Originally posted by nots View PostComment
