What makes the story even more extraordinary, is that in the era of MeToo and in the same month that Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison, major media organizations like CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times have not run a single article about Reade’s sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden. To date, the highest-profile journal (outside of right-wing media like Fox News) to cover the allegations is the Guardian. Arwa Mahdawi, in her Guardian series “The Week in Patriarchy” called out American media with her article title:

“Why has the media ignored sexual assault allegations against Biden?”

Left wing publications like Vox Media and The Huffington Post have taken a similar stance with article titles like “A sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden has ignited a firestorm of controversy” and “TV Hosts Fail To Ask Joe Biden Questions About Sexual Assault Allegation.” The latter caption is from The Huffington Post referencing the numerous television appearances and interviews that Biden has done this week with major outlets:

“Neither ABC, CNN nor NBC immediately responded to HuffPost’s requests for comment.”
