OK Foxy, if you're determined to straight out avoid the issue, I can't really do any more.

I note that even Alyssa Milano has come and and sorta, kinda supported Reade.
Foxy, when you have less integrity that Milano, you know you have a problem.

Interestingly, as regards the media, the dam wall they built to try to protect Biden is starting to break-down. Even CNN has now mentioned the story...wonder of wonders. And the NYT has scolded the Biden camp for claiming that they'd exonerated Biden, saying they'd done no such thing.

Its a sign of the times that the media is no longer able to control the agenda or bury stories unfavourable to the left. It partially explains the Trump phenomenon and the unhinged fury the left feels at not being able to get him. Ten years ago Biden would have been safe behind the left-media wall and Kavanaugh would have been retired in ignominy.

But the democratisation of the media in the US has changed all that. Hell, even the FBI is struggling to hide their illegal persecution of Flynn

mhaze,

How am I avoiding the issue?

You're the one doing that.

And wanting to argue.

I'm simply not buying into it.

As for Biden? The American people will deal
with him as they're done in the past with
other leaders and wannabe leaders. I mean
they've elected salacious scandalmongers
previously and currently. Nothing new there.

Foxy,

It is the left that are making such a noise about Metoo when Kavanagh was accused, the case was referred to the FBI and the accuser was headlined in the media in spite of not being able to remember where or when the event happened or anyone else that went to the "party" that might corroborate her story. Yet with Biden's accuser the telling of the story is by an intern who reported it years ago and the same people that made such a howling noise about Kavanagh are now silent.

With a second complainant coming forward, the left whingers are having their soap box knocked out from below them either they do believe women or they don't.

SR,

Given Pell's high profile, the high profile of the RC, and the Victorian police advertising for potential victims of Pell, the history of offending appears largely manufactured as none of them could provide any credible evidence.

As for Shorten, the victim was a labor supporter with no apparent motive. Do you believe her?

Shadow Minister,

Kavanagh lost it in court which worried so many people.
He was not credible - and should not have received
his judicial position. His testimony was full of holes.
Utterly unbelievable. Do some research and get the facts.
The man was a drunk and partied all the time. His accuser
was credible.

As for Biden? Well his goose will be cooked once the report
that the woman claims she's filed is found.

So what's your problem?

Shadow Minister,

That people like Foxy et al are utterly hypocritical on the Biden issue as compared to their attitude to Kavanaugh and Pell is hardly surprising and pretty much as expected. That they are so blase about displaying it is the only surprise here.

What I'm more interested here is the media's attempts at covering up for Biden. We even now have attempts at having a left leaning journalist fired because he was the first to break ranks and merely raise the issue on mainstream TV (see #FireChrisHayes). The media is treating the revelation about Biden completely differently to how they treated the far less convincing claims against Kavanaugh.

What I find most interesting is the way the MSM has lost its power to cover-up these Democrat scandals, with the power of the online media overwhelming the attempted cover-up.

As to Shorten, again we see the entirely different way the media and, sadly, the police handled accusation against Pell and Shorten. In the case of the later, there was a general decision to keep the accusations quiet while the police set about 'investigating'. That they would find in his favour was never really in doubt. There were a few murmurings in some right-ish blogs about the accusations but largely the public remained ignorant of the issue until Shorten was cleared. Contrast that with Pell where the media (read ABC) were so convinced of his guilt and so anxious to paint every story against him in the blackest of lights that it was basically impossible to find an unbiased jury by the time the case got to court. Equally, while the police were essentially advertising for complainants against Pell to step forward, they treated Shorten with kid gloves.

Understanding these ingrained biases in the various media is integral to understanding what's going on around us these days. The media is no longer the reporter of the news but instead the maker and manipulator of the news. You need to pick your trusted sources carefully or at least understand their bias.
