[See NewsBusters for more.] According to Gayle King, the coronavirus pandemic has kept the media from covering a VERY serious story related to Joe Biden. The Tara Reade sexual assault allegation? No, of course not. Biden’s endorsements. That was the laughable claim made on Tuesday’s Late Show as Stephen Colbert asked King what stories were being ignored during the virus. The CBS This Morning co-host lamented, “I can't believe that we're not talking about a political campaign, campaign 2020. You know, we're sitting here in may heading into June. The conventions are supposed to be July, August.” King complained, “We are in the middle of a very important political campaign. And, you know, when Joe Biden gets major endorsements, it's not even the lead story anymore because everything is all things corona.”
