>>>Biden's not running for office.

>Yes but he has. Why was he spared the Trump treatment? Why is he spared it now- surely bad behavior is bad behavior? This shows why Trump says the MSM is doing Clinton's job for her.

I think the Cosby case has begun to change the way we look at this stuff. Also, I think today's young woman are a lot more vocal about what happens to them on the street and in the job and so forth.

Did you watch the Anderson Cooper interview with the women who claims Trump molested her on a plane? She talks about not even telling her boss because she was the only woman in her position and she knew the response would be that it simply came with the job.

It's also my impression that Biden's offenses have never gone beyond a hug that went on too long or a squeeze on the shoulder. Trump talked about kissing women who didn't want it and grabbing their genitals. That's a much larger offense.

>>>Surely you don't take Chinese state media seriously?
>
>Because those Chinkies are almost as bad as the dirty Ruskies, right?

No, because in general, state media should be taken with a grain of salt, and even more so in non-Democratic countries.

>Seriously, I know you're too smart for that. But see if you can find where Chinese State Media has spoken out in this fashion before in an English article not intended for the home audience. Also consider a Russian mouthpiece saying that Clinton will push the world into WWIII. These things are unprecedented and largely ignored by a MSM fully occupied portraying Trump as a sleaze. Imagine it if were Trump accused of pushing the world towards war- the MSM would need to publish two front pages so as not to push the sleaze allegations onto page 2.

>Meanwhile just in case there's any doubt of the MSM's leanings: there's another unprecendented release, this time from the "Committee to Protect Journalists" that now openly condemns Trump. “His intent and his disregard for the constitutional free press principle are clear... a Trump presidency would represent a threat to press freedom in the United States, but the consequences for the rights of journalists around the world could be far more serious. Any failure of the United States to uphold its own standards emboldens dictators and despots to restrict the media in their own countries.”

>So now Trump is responsible for despotic press restrictions across the world, if not the Milky Way. Puh leez.

Have you been reading about what the press faces at Trump rallies? How Trump revs up the crowd against the press? For example:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-press-always-got-booed-at-trump-rallies-but-now-the-aggression-is-menacing/2016/10/14/6092ea34-922d-11e6-9c52-0b10449e33c4_story.html

He has also talked about "opening up" libel laws: http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/26/media/donald-trump-libel-laws/

He is a unique threat to press freedom.


>>>As far as I can tell, this is a right-wing satire response to the Trump allegations, based on nothing true: http://www.attn.com/stories/12114/trump-supporters-mock-sexual-assault-with-hillarygropedme

>They are showing how easy it is to make tearful partisan accusations a few days out from an election. How could the MSM and you be equipped to declare it false from afar? Either you believe such stories uncritically, or you suspend belief pending validation in normal fashion. Especially when it now turns out that one of the Trump accusers is a known Clinton supporter who is married to Trump's real estate competitor in NY. But she too must be believed uncritically and called a brave hero because it suits the narrative? Sorry but it's no wonder the MSM is being shouted at "Tell the Truth" at Trump rallies. Not that the MSM will put that out there unless one of them is willing to claim Trump fondled her.

No, not every accuser has to be accepted uncritically. If someone can be shown to have an agenda, that's reasonable to question though the accusation still might be true. But most of the Trump accusers told people years ago; they simply didn't go public or press charges because they knew how hard it would be to be believed.

Have you spent any time with the #WhyWomenDontReport hashtag? Here's a well-known columnist telling her story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/when-women-feel-that-hand-begin-to-creep/2016/10/14/cd5b8cd2-9234-11e6-9c85-ac42097b8cc0_story.html?utm_term=.cfb20b33cd1c
