As we told you Sunday, the New York Times did a “deep dive” into the sexual assault allegations against the presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden. However, the Times stealth-edited their story as the backfire piled up:
BUSTED: The NYT stealth-edited the 'deep dive' into the sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden https://t.co/d2onVUc6YR

As it turned out, the Times didn’t just edit their story, but a tweet was also deleted that pretty much took bias to the next level:
We've deleted a tweet in this thread that had some imprecise language that has been changed in the story.

The deleted tweet shows that Biden was afforded a level of spin that certainly never would have been provided to any Republican:
NYT: We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden beyond a pattern of sexual misconduct. https://t.co/QYkv7Hd0q1 pic.twitter.com/lnPUaEotGm

Anybody surprised?
The tweet deleted by the Times appears to be the one that actually said this: “We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.” https://t.co/O66QZCIwpR

“We found no pattern of misconduct as long as you don’t count this stuff” is some next-level spin.
I had to see for myself that this tweet was real. I was convinced it was photoshopped. It was not photoshopped. pic.twitter.com/M8nEQCm8CU

Imprecise in the sense that it told a truth liberals want to hide https://t.co/MdTuaeI8pi

We accidentally said the quiet part out loud. Sorry. Won’t happen again. https://t.co/zI3yMS5vJ6

They literally changed precise language. https://t.co/j9WFhyy6FU

By “imprecise language” they mean it identified Biden as a serial unwanted kisser and toucher of women and also defended him in the same tweet. https://t.co/oz8fFMMdZp

That certainly appears to be the case.
“Imprecise” meaning oh wait yeah own tweet shows there IS a pattern and that goes against our liberal narrative!
OH NO DELETE! ? https://t.co/quKAq58B61

“imprecise language” is a strange way to say “sexual assault apoligism” but i guess i’m not a journalist so idk https://t.co/ChyfOCdIx1

It hasn’t exactly been a banner year for journalism, but what’s new?
