So it looks like Biden has lost CNN. So Chris Cillizza, who I would say would be their sort of chief hit man on the political side — if you want a bad story about Trump you call Chris Cillizza. So he's one of their stars who most often talks about what bad thing Trump has done today. But he's after the Biden campaign. So credit to Chris Cillizza. So this would be a fair and balanced approach.

And what he said was that the New York Times did their look into the accusations by Tara Reade and they said they basically couldn't prove it happened and they couldn't prove it didn't happen. So basically they didn't have a conclusion. So that was what the New York Times said. What Biden's campaign has directed the talking points to be, they've actually written talking points with a lie in it and actually directed all the Biden supporters to use this lie. And listen to this lie. It says Biden believes — this is the talking points, right — Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed. In this case a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.

And the New York Times of course did not conclude it did not happen. They just said well we don't know. That's it. So the Biden campaign is going quite cleverly, by the way, if I'm gonna be fair and judge it which I like to do on its effectiveness as a dirty trick, you know, separate from whether it's an ethical thing to do. Effectiveness wise it's pretty good. It's pretty good because you have to understand most people are low information. They're not going to go to the New York Times article. But by the third time that you hear somebody say that the New York Times investigated and found out it didn't happen, even though all three of them will be lies, by the third time an unsophisticated viewer hears that it's just a fact.

So they've actually come up with a way to inoculate him with their base and I think it's a good one. I gotta say it's totally solid. Now it will be debunked mercilessly. I mean CNN is debunking it. Chris Cillizza is directly debunking it and saying that the campaign is just telling their people to lie and showing you the evidence. I mean you show usually the actual words. I'm pretty interesting but it's totally gonna work. Very clever.
