1. I didn't say Biden=Kavanaugh. I'm saying they both have despicable accusations, and neither should be in the positions of power that they are. And it shouldn't be about doing the "best we could do". How about getting a candidate without slimy pasts with sexual assault claims? I'm not asking for a high standard here. If anything, Reade's claim may be more viable depending on what the she contemporaneously reported, yet the report won't be released. Strange.
2.I am a left-leaning moderate that hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate in my lifetime.
3.My statements were my opinions, and if you take them as confrontational, so be it. I just think the media is doing a disservice, and completely disagree with Thriller that they go after Biden more than Trump. One of the craziest, most flawed statements I have ever read anywhere.

I went back only 4 pages, and did a pretty quick scan, so keep that in mind...

But in that sample size it looks like the Kavanaugh comparisons are yours.

One day we’ll all reach the conclusion that anyone who stands up and glosses about the whole media, in general, is either a genius or a dumbass. It’s hard to wrangle with the former, and pointless to wrangle with the latter. Thriller isn’t a genius, btw; and coming at him or anyone else with Kavanaugh comparisons isn’t likely to produce a good conversation

There is some strangeness here. I’d like to know more, but what we do know IN THIS CASE doesn’t look viable. But you seem to be plowing ahead as if you already know more, though.

Yes, they were mine, more to respond that the media is left leaning, and if anything they have spared Biden, again responding to Thriller.

I'm not plowing ahead. There is a complaint that was contemporaneously filed when the alleged activity happened. The willingness from a subordinate employee to make such a complaint stands out to me. That takes courage. A report like that should be able to be disclosed. Reade wants it disclosed, how is it that the report won't be released. Makes no sense. As a voter, I want that information.

And, just so I’m clear, you’re upset with the media for not raising a persistent campaign against the establishment that holds this complaint? Or, maybe more specifically, you’re upset about that because you’re sure they would be doing just that if the complaint was against Trump?

It would help if I understood your specific beef with the media.
 
I think the White House's bid to discredit Fauci isn't going to help Trump. Most Americans seem to have a positive view on him.

I think the media is too left leaning to the point people discredit/ignore the media. I think the media agenda actually hurts the democratic party. More specifically, I want a neutral media, that reports news. I don't think any news outlet is that way. I want media I can rely on for actual information. We don't have that.

My point initially was to discredit Thriller's idea that somehow the media would grasp anything negative Biden did and run with it for weeks. That is clearly not the case as the Reade accusation has shown, which is why I brought it up, and to point at the actual media bias. It is annoying that the large majority of media outlets was to go against Kavanaugh but it seems the opposite with Biden, when to me, both accusers are just as credible. The media and Dems were quick to lash out stating that Kavanaugh had no business being on the court. And that was when he shoved his junk in a girls face as a college student while drunk, not groped and kissed her as Reade has alleged. I just don't understand the double standard. Which led me to my statements that I'm just frustrated with our parties generally. Not to argue with anyone, just to point out how sad our two parties are right now.

With Trump, all I saw was Stormy Daniels coverage everywhere. TV, Facebook, etc. Same with Kavanaugh. It was simply unavoidable. Yet with Biden, we see it, read it, but it is largely in the background. I'd think if there was an official complaint to a government agency by an accuser against Kavanaugh, the press and Congress would be demanding it. Yet it stays in the background with Biden/Reade. Just odd really.

Normally we could just vote based on the information we have, but when the options are Trump or Biden, there really isn't a choice.

As for sexual assault accusations, I haven't heard much about the ones levied at trump. So just on that issue I have seen more media coverage of Tara reades accusation against Biden than anyone's accusation (s) against trump.

In response to your first paragraph, I don't know if you live in Utah or not but KSL news radio 1160 seems to be what you are looking for.
Very rarely do I hear opinions when listening, just fact based reporting of stories.
