A “Brief” Unsettling Dream

CNN’s Brian Stelter has largely ignored Tara Reade's bombshell allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s. Media watchers took notice saying a brief mention in his newsletter and a single tweet do not compare to his effusive coverage of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault in 2018.

Strange that Bill, that’s what a group of memesmiths are now calling him, had sleazeball attorney Michael Avenatti on his show an insufferable number of times claiming, “My thesis back then, which still holds, is that all future US presidents will be television stars of some sort. TV star power will be a prerequisite for the presidency. [That's why] I told Avenatti ‘one reason I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.’”

It’s curious to me that Tater has chosen to remain silent when old footage was unearthed on his network showing Reade’s mother discussing her daughter’s claims on Larry King Live.

On Tuesday, Tater took to Twitter writing, “Matt Lauer read Ronan Farrow’s ‘Catch and Kill’. He says ‘there are four primary ways in which Ronan betrayed the truth in writing his book.’ And he details them in this new column for @Mediaite.”

He caught shit over that and tweeted a weak sauce reply:
Now, if the hushed rumors that are circulating are true, Farrow is “working” on an exposé of the Reade/Biden scandal and it won’t be pretty for the guy who refuses to leave his basement bunker. 

This may be the central premise behind Tater promoting Lauer’s critique of Farrow’s Pulitzer-winning investigative book “Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators”.

Matt Lauer is in no position to critique journalistic credibility, yet he arrogantly thinks he does.

I’m waiting for the Twitter Gestapo to either put me in Twitter jail or suspend my account for this tweet:
