Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden’s campaign has excoriated The New York Times for helping to spread what it described as a “baseless conspiracy theory” advanced by President Donald Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, and for prioritizing sensationalism over “truth and judiciousness.”
The Trump camp has been pushing a conspiracy theory for months about Biden’s alleged corruption in his dealings with Ukraine. They claim Biden, during his tenure as vice president, withheld $1 billion in aid to Ukraine to compel the country’s firing of a top prosecutor in order to protect his son, Hunter Biden.
“In those first 19 paragraphs is a knot of details bound to be mangled by cable-news hosts and pundits in the coming months,” Wemple, the Post’s media critic, wrote in a column.

The Times “will continue to cover Joe Biden with the same tough and fair standards we apply to every candidate in the race and we’re happy to sit down with Biden advisers anytime to discuss news coverage,” a spokesman told Darcy, adding that Schweizer’s op-ed had been published in the Opinion section of the newspaper, “where their mission is to invite intelligent discussion on a range of opinions and ideas.
The dissemination of “objectively false information to influence public opinion poisons the public discourse and chips away at our democracy,” Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo said in a statement about the ad to CNN.

Facebook denies Biden campaign's request to remove false Ukraine ad by Trump campaignFacebook denied a request from Joe Biden's campaign to take down a video ad by President Donald Trump's reelection campaign that falsely accuses the former vice president of corruption for his role in Ukraine policy during the Obama administration.

Why Biden finally teed off on Trump'Attacked'? How stupidly inappropriate a headline. Trump has admitted publicly to enough impeachable offenses, we don't even need more inquiry. He must be removed from office. No one is above the law. Joe Biden is so much better that Donald Trump. By A LOT.

Biden, Warren in dead heat in poll average'Warren’s gain has not necessarily come at (Biden’s) expense… She has done the work and branded herself and put out a lot of policies and impressed a lot of Democrats, and she’s taken a bite out of many of the other candidates.' - Bloomberg's Sahil Kapur Nate Silver is more precise about this. Trump, Biden, and Bernie supporters are trying to hit Warren on her 'Native American' Issue. Truth is that it isn't she was told a story all her life that was found to be not true. That is common among people who look into their heritage. She'll never win.
