NY Times Editor Says Biden Sexual-Assault Article Was Edited after His Campaign Complained

Quote
New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said on Monday that the paper made a controversial change to its report on the sexual-assault allegation against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden after his campaign complained about the wording.


now we know why the NYT changed their reporting on Biden being credibly accused of sexual assault - the Biden campaign told them to and exactly what needed to be changed

This is a classic example of normal journalistic happenings being painted as corrupt.

Newspapers take feedback from interested parties. If the feedback identifies a legitimate area where edits might be needed, those edits aren't an example of political bias.

Nothing about the original phrasing was wrong, it was factually correct and gave readers a truthful impression of the matter. Editing the article to sugarcoat Biden's behavior of touching and sniffing women and making them uncomfortable - this objectively made the article less factual. This was NOT a case with a legitimate reason for an edit.

It didn't sugarcoat it. It was awkward phrasing. Previously in the article it notes that other women have accused Biden of unwanted touching, so it's not like they didn't mention it.

Quote
“No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade’s allegation,” the report read. “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”


Without knowledge of the accusations, what does this sentence imply? Something different from the actual reality. It almost sounds like he pulled a Trump and just randomly kissed women on the lips.

Did that include giving Biden the reacharound?

I know who Karens are. I've worked retail. There's a wide variety. And those people in the picture look a lot like people I've seen in stores.
