[See NewsBusters for more.] Journalists and networks are finally, reluctantly, being forced to cover the claims of Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer for Joe Biden who accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of sexual assault. CBS got to it on Thursday and PBS’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday night. On PBS, Amanpour talked to Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez, reluctantly wondering, “I need to ask you this, obviously, because it’s a story in newspapers, on the AP, allegations by a woman called Tara Reade who accused the Vice President of sexual assault in the '90s when she worked in the Senate office. Obviously, the campaign is denying it. What and how are you going to deal with these allegations? Particularly in our Me Too World.”
