That noted, much of the media has focused on the purported weaknesses and faults of President Donald J. Trump while largely giving Democratic nominee and former Obama era Vice President Joe Biden a pass.
CBS 60 Minutes apparently sought to correct that, however, as right-of-center PJ Media ironically points out, it is 60 Minutes Australia that did the exposé, not the U.S. version of left-of-center CBS 60 Minutes.
So, Australians get informed by CBS News about Biden allegations — but not Americans who will be doing the actual voting?
“Tara Reade Demolishes the Central Argument for Joe Biden’s Candidacy,” says PJ Media’s headline on this date. More important is the point that Biden accuser Tara Reade, who has more corroboration for her claim than many of the 2016 campaign era Trump accusers, says Biden is a wolf in sheep’s clothing – a fraud – who doesn’t deserve the presidency.
Said Reade Sunday that Biden is running “on a platform of character.” But Biden’s sexual assault against her in the halls of Congress proves that he “doesn’t deserve the presidency.” Reade worked for Biden while he was a younger U.S. Democratic Senator from Delaware.
Frankly, the problem with the claim during October isn’t Reade’s credibility. The testimony in the video is moving. It is so compelling, it could bring tears to sensitive souls. 60 Minutes Australia did a report with balance, and is thus more persuasive.
Rather, the problem is that some will give VP Biden a pass or won’t look at all — because they so blindly loathe President Trump, or are so pro-Democratic party positions that the facts won’t matter.
That said, what this video might – might – do for some who are independent or persuadable is make them think about the difference between the Mr. Nice Guy, “Soul of the Nation” image vs. the claims of a far darker reality.
It is clear that much of the U.S. mainstream left-of-center and anti-Trump segments of ‘conservative’ media outlets ignore or downplay this powerful claim. It is arguably Saul Alinsky tactics being directed primarily one way.
Which begs the question, what else are his billionaire buddies, tech and media allies hidin’ about Joe Biden?
Lest anyone forget, it was ironically Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris (CA-D) who as an opposing Democratic candidate in 2019 accused Biden of racism during the Democratic nomination presidential debates. Senator Harris was fine with hammering at the man – Biden – who she now hopes to replace if they win the White House following the voting on November 3.
The evidence of racist talk and behavior Harris raised is also far more compelling and corroborated against Biden, objectively speaking, then comments taken out of context, edited and repeated videos of President Trump who has scores of associates who say he has no racism in him. The parade of people during the Republican National Convention (RNC) made that point plainly, including by having a Democratic lawmaker endorse President Trump.
Additionally, Biden has pivoted on topics his Catholic faith teach him are morally wrong. Fellow Catholic and winning Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz said Biden is a “Catholic in Name Only.” If he turns his back on his beliefs, what does Biden really stand for besides winning? That noted, there are Catholics on both sides of the coin.
That noted, the numbers of those who are Catholic clergy coming out against VP Biden, or Speaker Nancy Pelosi or other Democrats appears to be growing. With some 1 in 5 Americans being a Catholic, it is a constituency that both major parties seek to win over.

Featured Focus –
Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Picking up from the opening preface for this evening’s featured focus, Tara Reade described Biden as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” The former Senator Biden staffer said she came forward with her allegations last year because people “needed to know. He’s going to the highest office in the land. He’s running on a platform of character. Well, I know what he’s like. I know what his character’s like, and he doesn’t deserve the presidency based on what happened to me.”
It’s not a concern being made in a vacuum, outside of sexual assault allegations. Congress and some mainstream media sources have been reporting claims of Biden family corruption for some time. While there have been claims made against President Trump, 3 years of Democratic investigations and Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned up empty, with nothing actionable. The impeachment of 2019-2020 was almost exclusively along party lines, quite different than prior impeachment efforts that had bi-partisanship.
Reade recalled what is was like working in Biden’s Senate office.
“He was a political hero of mine because I bought into the image,” Reade said. Yet the former staffer also remembered how the senator “put his hands on me… he’d run his fingers up underneath my hair on my neck. I didn’t know him… There was no reciprocal relationship or flirtation, there was nothing like that.”
“He seemed to lack boundaries with women,” Reade added. Indeed, many women have come forward – said PJ Media and 60 Minutes Australia saying that Biden’s touching has made them extremely uncomfortable. Some have defended Biden’s handsy-ness as a forgivable quirk. Reade insists Biden abused women’s personal space — and also sexually assaulted her.
“We were alone in this corridor, and he said my name and then the next thing I knew, he pushed me up against the wall,” Reade recalled. “He used his knee to separate my legs. He said, ‘I want to f**k you.’”
“He was whispering in my ear and he was kissing me and I was trying to get away from him,” Reade explained. “He had taken his hands and put them down my skirt and taken one hand and penetrated me with his fingers.”
“When I pulled away, he pulled back,” she recalled. “He looked at me like kind of almost annoyed He said, ‘Come on man, I heard you liked me.’”
“I could see he was angry and he put his finger towards my face and he said,” she told 60 Minutes Australia, to which he replied to Reade, “You know, you’re nothing to me. You’re nothing.”
Reade recalled telling her mother. Her mother told her to go to the police. Yet the young staffer decided against filing a police report. As Reade explained to 60 Minutes Australia, “They’re there to protect the senators and congressmen, they’re not there to protect us.”
Last year, an interview on Larry King Live surfaced from 1993 in which a woman — presumably Reade’s mother — called in to ask for advice on how to deal with a sexual assault her daughter allegedly suffered at the hands of a senator.
Lynda LeCasse, Reade’s neighbor, said the former staffer told her about the sexual assault in 1995, two years after it happened. “She basically said that he had um put her up against the wall, he put his hands up her skirt, and he put his fingers inside her,” LeCasse told 60 Minutes Australia.
Reade claims she filed a complaint with the Senate, and the complaint got lost. Some of her former co-workers said they had no recollection of any complaint or of any sexual assault claims.
“Unlike Trump’s accusers, Tara has received a barrage of scrutiny,” the 60 Minutes Australia host explained. “Do you feel as though, if Joe Biden wasn’t Joe Biden, your allegations would be taken more seriously?” she asked Reade.
“Absolutely. If he was a Republican. I think the fact that he’s an elite Democrat put him in this untouchable position,” Reade said.
Reade wonders if Biden is completely cogent, but said she thinks that “deep down” Biden knows her allegations are true. “You don’t have to believe me. I’m the one who has to live with it,” she added.
Unlike Trump accusers, who have often ended up with book deals or other financial incentives, Reade noted that she had nothing to gain in coming forward with her story.
“There’s nothing to gain. In my case, I lost everything. I lost work, legitimacy, I lost my reputation, I lost friendships. I lost my housing, everything. Money. Everything,” Reade said.
Despite all this, her friend LeCasse – who corroborates Reade’s story – said she would still vote for Biden. “I’m totally against Donald Trump,” Reade’s neighbor explained. She did admit, however, that it is difficult to square that with the fact that she believes Biden sexually assaulted her friend.
“He’s going to be the president who assaulted my very good friend,” LeCasse said.
This is the most complete indictment of media bias ever.
Why does CBS think voters in…Australia need to know about these serious charges against Biden, but not voters in…America (where he’s actually on the ballot)?
ONLY explanation is that @CBSNews is covering up for Dems. https://t.co/oLa8g6fr8P

Who didn’t vote for @realDonaldTrump in 2016 – but will in 2020, like me. I can’t be alone. I couldn’t vote for either last time. I just didn’t trust he would do what promised. He may be the first politician in my lifetime that DID keep his word. What was it for you?
