Pressure is mounting for former Vice President Joe Biden to finally address the allegations made by Tara Reade, a former staffer when Biden was a senator in the mid-1990s.

Up until now, the legacy media has formed a bit of a barricade around the Democrat's presumptive nominee for president by simply ignoring the story altogether, a privilege they did not afford now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

As Mollie Hemingway has pointed out at The Federalist, the double standard in how media outlets treated unfounded, uncorroborated allegations against Kavanaugh and their outright denial of the mere existence of the much more credible and detailed allegations against Biden borders on the criminally absurd.

But now that another contemporaneous account has surfaced via Business Insider and the haunting video of a woman believed to be Reade's mother falling into the "Larry King Live" show on CNN has been revealed (no thanks to CNN, of course) Biden will need to finally address this issue in some way.

And we can have a pretty good idea of how it will play out.
