Tara Reade’s story was confirmed at the time it happened by her husband (later her ex-husband but he still confirmed she told him about it at the time), her mother, who phoned into Larry King to ask him for advice about it without naming the perpetrator —Joe Biden , and a close friend. This is way more contemporaneous verification than anything Blasey Ford had to offer. FJB!

yes, Reade reported the event to several people when it happened. And this new development, that the government is going after her for unspecified crimes as revealed by Tucker, and that knowledgeable people think it may not be safe for her to return to the U.S. is chilling.

This is similar to what happened to Gal Luft, (see Rolling Stone article linked below), who also had to flee the country. The people behind these increasingly common flagrant abuses of power must be voted out of office in November, imho, if our Republic is to survive.

I have no idea if Tara Reade’s story is true or made-up.

I don’t know of any reputable, non-partisan, journalists who have checked out her story and proven it true or false.

I do know that if the Biden people / cabal would try to go after Trump, the way they are, they wouldn’t hesitate to do exactly what Reade says they are doing to her.

I feel sorry for her, and everyone else the corrupt DOJ has targeted, especially General Flynn.

I'll give Biden some credit, he just uses the DOJ to go after his enemies. The Clintons have them die of suicide or mysterious accidents. At least Tara is free in Russia...wait - what?

Jill Biden's first husband has a story similar to Tara Reade's. The divorce wasn't enough, they sicced the IRS on him for no apparent reason other than petty vindictiveness. The details are pretty disturbing.

Seems to be a very tragic situation.

Tara Reade has been rendered nonexistent by the U.S. government via exile to avoid imprisonment for attempting to expose criminality in the Biden regime.

“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are ruled by criminals”.

Enough said. The United States government under Democrat party rule is a crime syndicate. The fate of Tara Reade is a case in point and only one example in a list that grows longer every day.

Whenever Tucker Carlson does an interview such as this Tara Reade piece, an excellent piece of advice is familiarize yourself with the topic by locating and reading a good background overview. To that end, here is a nice discussion and examination of Tara Reade and her allegations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_sexual_assault_allegation . The Wikipedia article draws attention to numerous issues with Reade's story and strongly implies that both Reade and her story are quite problematic.

Kathy,

Yes, of course I think that Wikipedia is credible, especially when you have a well-footnoted multi-sourced article such as this. Wikipedia at least is committed to trying to tell the truth. By contrast as Tucker Carlson's own attorneys conceded several years ago in court, he is only an entertainer. And as evidenced by his own emails disclosed during the Dominion Systems lawsuit, he lacks a real commitment to accurate truthful reporting.

Still, I use Wikipedia as one source of information. I do not regard Wikipedia as a definitive final treatment. So if you care to point out to us the deficiencies of the Wikipedia article, please do so.

I've listened to way too many celebrities & known ppl who are on "the wrong side" explain that they've tried to correct THEIR OWN Wikipedia pages to remove incorrect information only to have it changed back to lies. Wikipedia is extremely slanted, but that's what you get "for free". It's one of the first sites that comes up on a Google search so what does that say? We all know how government controlled Google is now, thanks to Robert Epstein (no relation) congressional testimony which of course nothing was done for his warnings. The Internet is impossibly controlled now. It's only going to show you the things the gov wants you to know. It's like the MSM, it's PRAVDA.

Kathy,

You are twisting and misunderstanding a very sound policy. Rather than being a deficiency there is a very good reason for this policy. Wikipedia is trying to avoid circularity. It is trying to have its articles evidenced by outside sources. Nothing prevents one Wikipedia article from citing the very same sources used in a different Wikipedia article. It is just that both articles must stand on their own external sources, not one another.

David,

Do something really hard: read the Wikipedia article and its supporting notes. The details are all there.

Throughout the article serious questions are raised concerning Tara Reade and her story. Over several years multiple major news organizations looked into her charges. They could not find reliable evidence supporting her claims and contrary evidence suggesting that her story is not true.

This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008)

Mark Crispin Miller (born 1949) is professor of media studies at New York University,[1] and the author of the book: Fooled Again, How the Right Stole the 2004 Elections. He is known for his writing on American media and for his activism on behalf of democratic media reform. His books include Boxed In: The Culture of TV, Seeing Through Movies, and Mad Scientists, a study of war propaganda.

Miller speaking at New York City's Open Center in 2012.

He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in 1971, Johns Hopkins University with an MA in 1973, and a Ph.D. in 1977. His parents, Jordan and Anita Miller, are the founders of Academy Chicago Publishers.

[It goes on; it's worth a full read.]

Here's its take on Mark Crispin Miller, "Conspiracy Theorist" (nice CIA propaganda term) post-2020:

Mark Crispin Miller (born 1949) is a professor of media studies at New York University.[1] He has promoted conspiracy theories about U.S. presidential elections, the September 11 attacks and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as well as misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.

Background and career

In the introduction to Seeing Through Movies, Miller argues that the nature of American films has been affected by the impact of advertising.[2] He has said that the handful of multinational corporations in control of the American media have changed youth culture's focus away from values and toward commercial interests and personal vanity.[3]

In a June 2001 profile by Chris Hedges for The New York Times, Miller described himself a "public intellectual" and criticized television news "that is astonishingly empty and distorts reality".[4] He has appeared on the Useful Idiots podcast and was praised by its host, Matt Taibbi.[5][6]

Conspiracy-theory and disinformation promotion

In his social and political commentary, Miller frequently espouses conspiracy theories.[7]

On social media and in other statements, Miller has promoted conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks;[8] anti-vaccine misinformation;[citation needed] the claim that Joe Biden stole the 2020 presidential election;[citation needed] the claim that the beheading of the journalist James Foley by ISIL was fake;[citation needed] and the claim that the Black Lives Matter movement is funded by the CIA.[citation needed] Miller is a signatory to the 9/11 Truth Statement[9] and a member of the 9/11 Truth movement.[8][10] He dislikes the term "conspiracy theory", calling the phrase a "meme" used to "discredit people engaged in really necessary kinds of investigation and inquiry." In a 2017 New York Observer interview, he said anyone using the term "in a pejorative sense" is "a witting or unwitting CIA asset".[11]

Election fraud conspiracy theories

In his book Fooled Again, Miller claims that the 2000 and 2004 U.S. presidential elections were stolen.[12] He has since claimed that the 2020 U.S. Presidential election was stolen.[7]

9/11 hoax conspiracy theory

Main article: 9/11 conspiracy theories

In 2016, Miller gave a speech to the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.[7] After a "truthers" symposium on 9/11, Miller told Vice that the official explanations for 9/11 and John F. Kennedy's assassination "are just as unscientific as the ones that everybody feels comfortable ridiculing".[13]

Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre hoax conspiracy theory

In a blog post, Miller suggested that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a hoax; in a subsequent interview, he denied that any children died in the shooting and voiced "suspicion" that "it was staged" or was "some kind of an exercise."[7] Miller praised a Sandy Hook denial book by James Fetzer as "compelling" (a $450,000 defamation judgment had previously been entered against Fetzer, after the father of one of the murdered Sandy Hook students sued him for false statements made in the book).[7]

Anti-vaccination and COVID misinformation

Miller has also screened for his students the anti-vaccination film Vaxxed, produced by disgraced[14] former physician Andrew Wakefield (who was struck off the medical register in the UK for scientific misconduct).[8][11] Miller has spread COVID-19 misinformation, including misleading claims about the efficacy of face masks and false claims that COVID-19 vaccines alter recipients' DNA.[7][15]

[It goes on from there. Again, it's worth a full read and comparison with the pre-2020 version.]

My comment on Miller's post in which he made the pre- and post- comparison:

"This is gold. Comparing Wiki's entry on Mark in 2020 vs. today should tell anyone with an ounce of brains all they need to know about Wiki's propaganda."

And plenty of others wrote of their utter frustration with Wiki. The comments are gold, too.

In Summer, 2022 Tucker Carlson refused to report to his audience the testimony presented at the House Special Committee investigating the January 6 riot and instead devoted his time to producing a TV special attributing alleged cattle mutilations to UFOs. So much for Tucker Carlson being a credible reliable news source.
