New York Times reporter Kate Kelly is taking a public flogging on social media for excusing her paper’s obvious bias in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden following his sexual assault allegation versus the paper’s willingness to vilify then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when Christine Blasey Ford accused him of sexual assault.

Last month, Tara Reade claimed that then-Senator Joe Biden forcefully penetrated her with his fingers while she served under him in 1993. She has since detailed her account in multiple interviews and filed a criminal complaint against the former vice president. Rich McHugh, the producer at NBC News who helped reporter Ronan Farrow break the Weinstein story that the network allegedly tanked, recently interviewed Reade in an article for Business Insider and deemed her allegation credible.
