New York Times Editor: Kavanaugh Accusation Was A Big Story. Biden Accusation? Not So Much.

New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet on Monday attempted to defend his paper’s decision to wait 19 days to report the sexual assault allegation against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, claiming this allegation was different than those against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Times attempted to explain its actions by having its own media columnist, Ben Smith, interview Baquet. Smith asked the tough questions about how the allegation against Biden was somehow different than the one against Kavanaugh.
