The New York Times is apparently not giving cover to Joe Biden, as they just shot down one of his main talking points about Tara Reade:
A New York Times spokesperson says Biden campaign talking points “inaccurately” suggest that the Times investigation found that Tara Reade’s allegation “did not happen.” Response to this scoop from @rubycramer @RosieGray https://t.co/ZUD6f2WSEE pic.twitter.com/LNaHvH0ZxF

Here’s what the ultra small screenshot of the statement says:
Buzzfeed reported on the existence of talking points being circulated by the biden campaign that inaccurately suggest a New York times investigation found that Tara Reade’s allegation “did not happen.” Our investigation made no conclusion either way. As BuzzFeed correctly reported, our story found three former Senate aides whom Reade said she complained to contemporaneously, all of whom either did not remember the incident or said that it did not happen.
Well damn, I did not see that coming. Seriously, I would have thought the New York Times was content to let Biden spin their story in any way he saw fit. But they just opened the back door, fired a double barrel shotgun in the air and shot his talking points right out of the sky.
I’m not often surprised by the media in this country, but this is rather stunning. Don’t they know that Joe Biden is their only hope of beating Trump? What are they thinking?
