The bias the media have for Democratic politicians is more apparent than ever in light of Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against presidential candidate Joe Biden. In the media’s collective gaze, Biden must be protected at all costs since he represents the only chance to defeat President Trump at the polls in November. Despite the fact that this favoritism goes directly against their prized #MeToo mantra, they continue on. The ultimate goal is beating Trump, not exposing inconvenient truth.

In September 2018, Justice Brett Kavanaugh endured a grueling experience during his nomination for the high court. At the eleventh hour, allegations by Christine Blasey Ford were introduced. By the end of the charade, extra days of testimony and an FBI investigation had been added to an already contentious process. But the real issue with Kavanaugh was that he was Trump’s second nominee to the Supreme Court. The investigation into his background and the claims made by Ford revealed no evidence or contemporaneous corroboration.
