0:58Now PlayingDefending the New York Times from attacks of bias, The Los Angeles Times Virginia Heffernan points to its coverage of Joe Biden-accuser, Tara Reid:
"The New York Times was the only news outlet to take seriously the sexual abuse charges, the sexual assault and rape charges leveled by one Tara Reid against Joe Biden. The Biden campaign was appalled, but they walked through every part of these charges, which turned out to be false. Now, a lot of writers on the left had already said they seemed false on their face. And certainly they could be a way -- would have been an obstacle to Biden's presidency. But the New York Times did not prima facie, did not dismiss them out of hand. They instead investigated them and found those charges wanting. I think we can all agree that the charges were put to rest by the New York Times."
