We’ve already shared numerous examples about the media averting their eyes to the latest allegations against Joe Biden — the same media that went crazy reporting allegations against Brett Kavanaugh — but Mollie Hemingway caught CNN.com taking bias-by-omission to the next level:
CNN published 700 articles on Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey, beginning as soon as her story came out. For Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade, CNN is enforcing a strict ban, much less enabling the feeding frenzy they created re: Kavanaugh. https://t.co/1XdAfIbiV9

Hemingway elaborates in her column at The Federalist.
There is no moral or journalistic defense in the world for this disparity. CNN's all-hands-on-deck effort to destroy Brett Kavanaugh's life was evil and depraved. The fact that they're unwilling to do 1/705th to Biden that they did to Kavanaugh shows that they know it.

Politically motivated hypocrisy is shockingly shameless. Par for the course with CNN. Although still baffling to anyone with a conscious https://t.co/3LRjGtzRiZ

It’s almost as if the baseless Kavanaugh accusations were entirely political, and @cnn reported what they did for purely political reasons. https://t.co/mSkqtOjQWa

Hypocrisy by CNN cannot be more obvious. https://t.co/JDk9yQtqlF

And they obviously don’t care how many notice.
