The call could’ve been about drugs in Washington or prostitutes or rape or a money scandal or being fired or puppies. People are inferring a context.
Which is why it would be really helpful to have either the full conversation or the transcript.

You know what doesn’t happen in journalism.
An allegation doesn’t surface from a secondary source on 4/22

Have a full article on 4/23 with a good number of inferences based off an edited clip while literally not at all confirming that the caller is the mom in the first place

No journalist worth their salt or editor worth their salt allows this into an article about allegations:

-and the reference to going to the press makes clear that the caller is talking about more than just generic problems at the office. The problems, she makes clear, would damage the senator if exposed. <—-(Inferred)

-What the emergence of the call shows is that even if Reade’s memory is off on timing or details, the substance of her claims — in this case, that her mother called Larry King and discussed her situation — can still be true.<—— (assumed)


The call also calls into question the credibility of Biden’s denial. Reade said that she filed a complaint about Biden’s harassment with Marianne Baker, effectively the office manager in the Biden office <—— (in what specific way does the call do this)

Here I went and found whatever the transcript is myself:

They’re episode is about what a toxic environment is and how that could have contributed to Vince Fosters death. Sexual assault nor rape is mentioned.


This is Reddit / Shaun King level of “journalism” and that’s why a full transcript of the episode of Larry king needs to be released.
