This isn't about feelings... it's about using words in a way that will inform people most accurately. When most people hear "Joe Biden accused of rape", they think he's been accused of putting his D into a woman without consent. Since that's not what happened, I think it's more appropriate to use a more ambiguous phrase like sexual assault.

just print “there’s an allegation against Biden which we are investigating” is that so hard

the media that claims to be neutral was no longer neutral a long time ago- which is fine just that they should stop pretending and stop claiming be hiding behind the rights ensured in a document (US Constitution) that they dont believe in at all

every form of media defense play

here we have WaPo employing the most fucking obvious "republicans pounce" trope ever:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/developments-in-allegations-against-biden-amplify-efforts-to-question-his-behavior/2020/04/27/88869bc2-88be-11ea-9dfd-990f9dcc71fc_story.html
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Republicans%20pounce%21

they had earlier run a copy/paste of the AP article with a somewhat confusing headline;
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/report-biden-accuser-spoke-to-neighbor-of-alleged-assault/2020/04/27/f1a22472-88f6-11ea-80df-d24b35a568ae_story.html

and then you have your pièce de résistance, the one you quoted;
https://twitter.com/postpolitics/status/1254957071562407939

apparently that was their first headline before editing that article into a classic republicans pounce narrative, in which they attempted to twist it into such a convoluted mess nobody would even recognize wtf they were talking about
but republicans pounce was their original intent even with that headline


its classic media covering for democrats. Its something they've been doing so blatantly for decades that even shows like The West Wing would cop to it slyly. Any time they are forced to run an article about how a democrat has done something scandalous, it will be framed entirely as "Republicans are attacking our democratic guy over this scandal, this is all part of their plan~". But when Republicans do something scandalous, it will be wall to wall teary eyed women vowing to be courageous
