Sen. Ted Cruz is demanding answers from CBS News over why the network aired an interview with Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, in Australia but not in the United States.
“This is the most complete indictment of media bias ever. Why does CBS think voters in…Australia need to know about these serious charges against Biden, but not voters in…America (where he’s actually on the ballot)?” the Texas Republican tweeted Sunday. “ONLY explanation is that @CBSNews is covering up for Dems.”

“Please, @CBSNews respond. Either tell us (1) why YOU decided this is news in Australia, but not the USA, or (2) why you have abandoned any pretense at impartiality or journalistic integrity?” he added. “We’ll wait.”

Reade accused the Democratic nominee for president of pushing her against a wall and penetrating her with his fingers when she was working as a staff assistant in his Senate office in the 1990s.
“I decided that people needed to know,” Reade told Australia’s 60 Minutes. “He’s going to the highest office in the land. I know what he’s like. I know what his character is like — and he doesn’t deserve the presidency based on what happened to me.”
“He’s been misogynistic, he’s had sexual assault allegations, sexual harassment,” Reade added. “He’s a blue Trump, he’s a blue Trump.”
CBS News did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment at the time of publication.
