One of the side effects of the coronavirus pandemic has been the public suspension of the 2020 election season.

While the campaigns of the two remaining candidates — President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden — are working behind the scenes to keep in touch with the electorate and raise funds, neither has been able to hold rallies because of the continuing pandemic.

For his part, the president has managed to keep up public appearances, using his daily coronavirus briefings to both inform the nation and use them as a platform to stay connected to voters.

Biden, on the other hand, has held some glitchy video ‘conferences’ in which he feebly attempts to show what kind of a leader he’ll be in a crisis. Like most of his previous campaign appearances, his video briefings have been riddled with gaffes and memory lapses.

But the lack of a real campaign season has also meant that Biden, so far, has also been able to avoid the 800 pound gorilla in the room: A sexual assault allegation from a former Senate staffer who claims he was grossly inappropriate with her in the early 1990s.

That’s because our politicized ‘mainstream media’ isn’t asking him about it like you know they would be if the allegations were against any other Republican — or President Trump.

As the Washington Free Beacon notes:

Joe Biden has been asked 81 questions in over two hours worth of media interviews since a former staffer in his U.S. Senate office accused him of sexual assault three weeks ago. He hasn't fielded a single question about the allegation. Biden has sat for 10 interviews with major news outlets since March 24, when his former aide, Tara Reade, accused him of pinning her against a wall and penetrating her with his fingers in 1993 when she was a staff assistant in his office.

The WFB notes that not a single interviewer posed any questions to Biden at all about the allegation. For instance, on March 29 during a wide-ranging nine-minute interview with one of the media’s leading Leftist hacks, Chuck Todd, Biden “was asked about the coronavirus response, sanctions on Iran, whether Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) should drop out of the Democratic primary, and President Donald Trump's approval rating—but not Reade's allegation,” the WFB’s Brent Scher reported.

Biden also managed to dodge questions about Reade during an interview with George Stephanopoulos soon after, as well as one with CNN’s Chris Cuomo and two more with NBC and MSNBC.

Needless to say, the Biden campaign refused to respond to the WFB’s request for a comment. And what’s more, none of the news networks bothered to respond, either, meaning they are obviously circling the wagons around Biden and are going to protect him as long as they can from these ‘unjust’ allegations.

The former VP, who is well-known to be handsy and 'personal' with women, has not yet addressed the allegations directly, either. But Reade is serious: She filed a formal criminal complaint with the Washington, D.C. Metro Police Department last week. So the allegations aren’t going away, even if the Democrat-aligned ‘mainstream media’ wants to hide them.
