Over the weekend there was new evidence that Tara Reade's mother had called in to Larry King Live on August 11, 1993 providing more credibly to Tara Reade's accusations against Joe Biden.The media which was quick to judge many baseless and disproved allegations against Brett Kavanaugh now seem to be ignoring the seemingly more credible allegations against the DNC presidential nominee Joe Biden. The same media that chanted #metoo and "believe all women" now seem silent when it is politically inconvenient. Dave discusses this hypocrisy and how it leads to further eroding trust in our media institutions at a time when we desperately need trustworthy media to make sense of our world.
