National Review has just issued the single best piece on the new, absolute BS, charges against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that I have seen.
I will show you the first part – on condition that you promise to use the above link and read the rest. Believe me, you won’t regret doing so:
The New York Times had a significant story to tell about Brett Kavanaugh. It’s this: In a new book, the Times reporters produced new evidence that profoundly undermined the central claims against Kavanaugh. Leland Keyser — Christine Blasey Ford’s friend and the person Ford herself testified was also at the party where Ford claimed Kavanaugh assaulted her — has stated on the record that she doesn’t have “any confidence” in Ford’s story.
Not only does she not recall the specific party at issue, she doesn’t recall “any others like it.” Moreover, Keyser maintains this recollection in spite of a determined effort by old friends to get her to change her testimony — a pressure campaign that Keyser admirably resisted.
But that’s not the story the New York Times chose to tell. Instead, this weekend it ran an extended piece that breathlessly asserts that there exists a new claim against Kavanaugh. The original story reported that a man named Max Stier alleged that “friends” pushed Kavanaugh’s penis into the hand of a female student. Hours later — only after Democrats issued furious denunciations of Kavanaugh — did the Times add a rather significant editor’s note. The female student “declined to be interviewed,” and her “friends say that she does not recall the incident.”
In other words, “Never mind.”
The editorial has much, much more to day. I again urge you in strongest terms, to read it all…
…if, for no other reason, because, now that it falls negatively on Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers instead of Kavanaugh himself, it is disappearing from mainstream media.
Want an example? How about this one: yesterday’s Today Show treated Kavanaugh and his accusers as a major story. Today? In the first 40 minutes of the show, not one second of coverage. Including on its website. Brett Kavanaugh magically went from top news to “Kavanaugh? Who’s Kavanaugh”.
I rest my case.
