The New York Times runs an uncorroborated, single-source, decades-old, piece of gossip about now-Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a college party. The woman in question won’t talk, and her friends say she has no recollection of the alleged incident. After the “grey lady” once again shows her seamy side, should the “paper of record” be sold at the supermarket checkout next to the National Enquirer?

What is written by the paper is out there and can’t be taken back… Like the Lawyer comment to the jury that raises an objection… It was still heard by the jury and will likely have even a minimal effect…..was done on and with purpose — just sayin’
I have a new slogan for the New York Times:
Some of the news that’s fit to print,
And a lot, that is not.
I used to think that Rathergate back in 2004 was where Leftist dishonesty would bottom out. What bothered me most wasn’t so much what Dan did, rather the fact that he ran the fake memo story because he wanted the story to be true so badly that he didn’t care if the facts had been verified or not.
Now the era we’re in today is far more disturbing. in that The Radical Left has devolved to “Hate first; ask questions later.” This is just the latest, following the fake hate crime outbreaks, Russiagate, The Covington Crucifixion, and now Kavanaugu, not once but twice.
The worst part is that eve though Leftist integrity looks like it can’t get any worse, I know that somewhere out there is another Lefty ready to step up and say, “Hold my Zima.”
I do miss The Duranty awards that your former employers used to do…
Great Ferris take Steve, the practice paid off!
The New York Times should either be in the fiction or opinion area or behind a blank piece of cardboard like resque magazines used to be sold
Bill, you are exactly right. Kavanaugh should sue the Times for libel. Given that the Times withheld that the “victim” denied the event ever happened, that her friends say she denies it ever happened, that Max Stier refused to go on the record and so the story came from some congressional staffers (making it second- or even third-hand), that the Times did not disclose that Max Stier worked opposite Kavanaugh during Bill Clinton’s sex scandal, and that one of the book’s authors is a classmate of Kavanaugh from Yale, it shouldn’t be that hard to prove malice.
Somebody learned a lesson at Oberlin. Sure as hell wasn’t that administrator-ette who sent the kid to bakery to create a racial incident and then ginned up a mob of students to protest the bakery.
New York Times: all the news that fits, we print.
Nice!
