I think it’s telling that if you search “Trump AND rape” on the New York Times website you don’t get a single article mentioning the E. Jean Carroll case but if you search “Biden AND old” you get 18,026 hits.

The term used in the stories was "sexual assault".

That number, by the way, is not made up. If @nytimes.com spent as much effort talking about how Trump was held by a judge to be a rapist as they did about Biden being old, maybe we wouldn’t be having these conversations about Biden stepping down right now.

I think that’s because if you search for “Trump rape“ you get a huge number of unrelated stories – in particular, articles about rape exceptions for abortion laws. So you don’t see the EJC stories up top. If you search for “Trump rape Carroll” you get lots of hits.

I do however get almost 2300 hits for Trump AND "sexual assault". Since under the law, rape is only penetration with the penis, & he was only found liable for raping her with his hands, the Times has carefully avoided calling it rape. A degree of care they have never granted a Democrat.

Do you think they will have one article talking about the Epstein files that came out today? Or will they sanitize it and make it look bad for Biden?
