Mika Brzezinski: ‘Good Thing’ Media Is Not Applying Kavanaugh Standard to Biden

‘The standard for the media in covering sexual assault allegations needs to be to report the facts’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “But first, let’s talk about the criticism by some, particularly on the right, that the media has not applied the same standard to this allegation against Biden as it did the allegations against judge Brett Kavanaugh when he was undergoing his confirmation process. We think that’s a good thing. The media should not apply what seemed to be a Kavanaugh standard to Joe Biden. The media should not apply the same standard most applied to Judge Kavanaugh to Donald Trump. The media should not apply a Kavanaugh standard to any public figure. The blanket and absolute standard of simply believing all women is a notion we dismissed here on the show early on. The standard for the media in covering sexual assault allegations needs to be to report the facts. Listen to the accuser and give the accused full due process, both men and women. We were very clear about that on the show during the Kavanaugh story."
