| 0:00.0 | It is Monday, April 13th, 2020. My name is Philip DeFranco. Welcome back to the Philip |
| 0:04.8 | DeFranco show and let's just jump into it. And the first thing we're going to talk about |
| 0:08.0 | today are updates to the Tara Reid Joe Biden situation. And a few weeks ago, we talked about |
| 0:12.4 | this in more detail, but to kind of bring you up to speed, a quick TLDR, Tar Reid is a woman |
| 0:16.8 | who worked in Biden's Senate office in 1993. Reid was also one of several women who spoke out publicly last year |
| 0:21.8 | and said Biden had touched or kissed them |
| 0:23.7 | in ways that they were not comfortable with. |

| 1:02.0 | A number of people on Twitter claiming that this was because of political bias in paper of Biden and against Bernie Sanders. |
| 1:06.6 | But you also had other journalists saying that it could be due to the issue that people that write about these kind of stories for the mainstream outlets have to be incredibly careful. |
| 1:13.0 | As one argued that that clip from the podcast was posted with little context, few follow-up questions, and no additional reporting. |
| 1:18.1 | And adding the talking to witnesses and fact-checking key details is crucial to reporting sexual assault allegations. |
