A common tactic of left-wing media outlets is to ignore a story, wait while only conservative media outlets cover it, and then claim it’s a conservative conspiracy or right-wing hoax.
Vanity Fair is now following a similar tactic, having passed on Reade’s allegation and now scolding conservatives who stood by President Donald Trump even after 20+ women accused him of sexual assault, though the evidence for their allegations is thin. The New York Times’ Ben Smith reported on April 30 that TV news outlets weren’t booking Reade – even though his employer took 19 days to report her allegations. Smith pointed out that “traditional media” like the Times “waded in carefully,” followed quickly by “fast-moving news site Business Insider,” which reported details that added “weight” to Reade’s story.
