All of those questions at a Town Hall are known beforehand and the candidate gets to turn down the ones they don't want to answer.
I wish he would, though. It doesn't surprise me that CNN didn't ask him, but earlier today when I checked, none of the majors had picked it up, and I am wondering if it is because they looked into her story and didn't find it credible. Or maybe they are all praying that this doesn't tank Joe's candidacy. It leaves no one but Bernie to take up the flag, and that would be a disaster.
Huffington Post, National Review and a few other main stream media have covered it, but most have not as you said. CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NY Times and many othersBare completely ignoring it.
Joe now has 8 accussers. Here is a link to the Huffington Post story. You can decide if the claim is credible or not.
Tara Reade, one of eight women to accuse Biden of inappropriate touching, said this week that the presidential candidate assaulted her nearly 30 years ago.

I've already read it, and several others. They are all just copying from each other. Actually, Heavy is the only one that has dug a little deeper, but it has nothing to do with the allegations. Joe's other accusers did not accuse him of THAT, though. I had a stepfather who was all "hand-y" when he'd been drinking; a woman can tell when it's innocent friendliness and when it's subtle advances. I am not saying Tara Reade is lying. As always, there were no witnesses. But I'd like to hear from the politicians she says she contacted, and I'd like to hear directly from the organization that turned her down. I'd like to hear from some of the people she worked for as a Senate aide. She worked for several and left over an "argument" with coworkers. What was that about? I understand people not wanting to be involved in a media circus like the Kavanaugh mess, but this needs to be cleared up, if possible.
Or, once again, we may be knowingly voting for a pig. Like Clinton, like Trump. Does it affect their political wherewithal? No. Maybe we need to stop focusing on their all too human lives behind the curtain and accept that they're no better than we are. If Biden did what Reade said, it was reprehensible. His campaign says he didn't and they asked the media to vet this woman's claims. But so far, silence.
