THE NEW YORK TIMES’ KAVANAUGH DEBACLE: THE BLAME GAME STARTS

So who is responsible for The New York Times smear piece on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh?

Specifically, who was responsible for omitting the fact that his supposed accuser not only was not interviewed, but told friends she had no recollection of the incident the report was written about?

Well, if you ask Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, co-writers of the hit piece, they claim that it was in there when they submitted it to the times…but it was removed after the fact. In other words “Hey, it’s not me, it’s someone else.”

From Chuck Ross’s article at dailycaller.com:

The co-authors of a new book about Brett Kavanaugh blamed New York Times editors Monday for removing a key passage from an essay they published over the weekend that laid out a new, but uncorroborated, sexual misconduct allegation against the Supreme Court justice.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly addressed the controversy over a New York Times Review essay they published Saturday that previewed their book, “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation.”

Uh oh.  The blame game begins.

Some number of guilty parties must fall on his/her/their swords.   And, by god, Robin and Kate don’t intend to be among them.

So who is “the biggest loser” going to be?  Some inconsequential intern?  A seasoned pro?  A really big fish or two?  It’s got to be someone.

Stay tuned, folks.  This farce, brought to you by what has now become a farce of a once-serious newspaper, has not played out yet.  There is a long, long way to go.
