So after we've had some time to experience and digest this news cycle relating to the accusations against Biden, I feel I should point out the obvious double standards here:
>Sanders gets accused of saying a woman couldn't win without evidence.
>Media presumes guilt despite pretty much the entirety of his career undermining the credibility of that accusation, says we should 'believe women' etc and so on.
>There is demonstrable evidence of Bloomberg being obviously misogynistic.
>Media makes excuses for and minimizes said demonstrable misogyny, only ever really giving it a second look when Warren forced them to by demolishing him live on television.
>Biden gets hit with a credible accusation that does have some alignment with his past, hands-on behaviour.
>Media relentlessly hammers Tara Reede as being not credible, comes up with every conceivable excuse not to believe her no matter how tenuous, suddenly doesn't think we should believe women anymore.
