NBC: 'Conservatives' Point to Biden's 'Stark Contrast' on Kavanaugh Claims

[See NewsBusters for more.] It was a small moment, but still a surprising. A note of reality seeped into NBC’s Sunday night coverage of the Joe Biden sexual assault claim. On the NBC Nightly News, reporter Ali Vitali showcased claims of hypocrisy in the Tara Reade case. She noted, “Conservatives point out the response to Reade stands in stark contrast to the way Democrats and Biden rallied around Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser Christine Blasey Ford.” She then quoted Carrie Severino of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network: “There should be a presumption of innocence. However, you can't apply it only to people you agree with politically. That's a problem.”
