hno:
Both candidates are accused sexual predators, early onset dementia, and buried deep in the pockets of their corporate masters.
One has 18+ accusers and a bunch of videos of him interacting awkwardly with his own daughter. The other has 1 accuser (thus far) and a bunch of videos of him touching and sniffing children/women
One thinks windmills cause cancer, will look directly into a solar eclipse, and openly hypothesized finding a way to get disinfectant into the human body. The other.... Probably doesn't, but maybe?

I'm not disagreeing that the media is playing it soft for Joe. I don't like Biden and this is just the cherry on top. The story is being covered,... somewhat, and the last I have read about it is they were going to find the Senate complaint from the 90's.... but that the details were questionable.... but then the latest is that someone in the Senate has the complaint, but won't release it.
If it was Trump? Well we already know: They played the tape of him saying "grab em by the puss" again and again and again. And before that story could get traction, Wikileaks released more Clinton emails, the media turned its attention to that, and the rest is history. As I have said repeatedly: I've never voted for a Clinton in my life. The first time I was old enough to vote, I voted for Bob Dole over Clinton. In 2016, I voted down-ticket only and voted to re-elect my republican state senator among others.
I will concede your point that the media sucks at its job. However, just because the media is bad at it's job doesn't immunize Trump for his words/actions.
Trump has done enough on his own to lose my vote. He's clearly an idiot. I mean, come one, he can't even close an open umbrella but he's going to close a deal for peace in the middle east? or a trade deal with China?
His own coronavirus taskforce recommends all people wear masks in public. But when Trump goes to a mask factory, where all of the workers are wearing masks, and the company policy is to wear masks? What does Trump do? He puts on protective eyewear.
Now, depending on who Biden chooses for VP, I might vote for Joe. I don't think Trump or Biden would complete another 4 year term and we probably end up with Pence or (?) for the last 2 years.
good stuff here … NYT reporter & The Hill co-founder, Martin Tolchin, doesn't want Tara Reade to be investigated because he thinks her story would be corroborated and his #1 goal is ousting Trump, and he believes Biden is their best shot
"I don’t want an investigation. I want a coronation of Joe Biden," Tolchin wrote. "Would he make a great president? Unlikely. Would he make a good president? Good enough. Would he make a better president than the present occupant? Absolutely! I don’t want justice, whatever that may be. I want a win, the removal of Donald Trump from office, and Mr. Biden is our best chance
"Suppose an investigation reveals damaging information concerning his relationship with Tara Reade or something else, and Mr. Biden loses the nomination to Senator Bernie Sanders or someone else with a minimal chance of defeating Mr. Trump. Should we really risk the possibility?"
...the dismal state of today's MSM never ceases to surprise me. Can't say I took Journalism 101 but I'm fairly certain that they do not preach to not investigate a story simply because you're afraid the truth might hurt your political affiliation. and, btw, I think almost anyone except Biden could beat Trump.
