The New Yorker hit piece on Brett Kavanaugh published Sunday night accusing Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, without corroboration, of exposing himself to a female Yale classmate at a drunken dorm party in the 1980s was met with skepticism by the New York Times and ABC News. (UPDATE: CBS News, also. At end.)
Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez.
The Times reported, but buried, that it had spent a week investing the accusation by Deborah Ramirez but was unable to find an eyewitness and that Ramirez had recently told several of her classmates she wasn’t sure it was Kavanaugh.
Judge Kavanaugh’s prospects were further clouded on Sunday when The New Yorker reported on a new allegation of sexual impropriety: A woman who went to Yale with Judge Kavanaugh said that, during a drunken dormitory party their freshman year, he exposed himself to her, thrust his penis into her face and caused her to touch it without her consent.
In a statement, Judge Kavanaugh denied the allegation from the woman, Deborah Ramirez, and called it “a smear, plain and simple.” The New Yorker did not confirm with other eyewitnesses that Judge Kavanaugh was at the party.
The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos repeatedly challenged Ronan Farrow, who co-authored the New Yorker article with Jane Mayer, in an interview Monday on Good Morning America. Farrow was forced to admit he had no eyewitnesses but he insisted that people who knew Kavanaugh at Yale said it was “possible.”
Farrow closed the interview by claiming accuser Ramirez insisted she wants to be “fair” to Brett Kavanaugh.
CBS News also challenged co-author Jane Mayer on the lack of eyewitnesses.
Really, even liberal news outlets say this is BS???
Maybe the liberals have overreached on this one, overplayed their hand?
Which hopefully results in Kavanaugh being confirmed, and also, with the anger generated among conservatives by this crap, will result in good GOP turnout in the mid term elections.
Ronan Sinatra is a little punk.
Vote now!!!!!
These 2 women will receive Million $ book advances to hide the payments made to dem:-)
Ronan just killed his career.
Some brilliant FReeper posited on another thread that this is less about Kavanaugh than an operation by Friends of Harvey Weinstein to take Ronan Farrow down once and for all.
This piece indicates that he may indeed be right.
These media outlets are realizing that the battle against Kavanaugh is badly undermined by these outlandish, unsupported allegations.
We need to take an axe to the Brown Shirt Media and the NYSlimes is starting to wake up.
You know you’ve got some bad seafood on your plate if the NYT and ABC won’t even take a bite.
he’s only done amongst conservatives. The left will propel his career even higher.
"Run with it anyway! We know it's BS. But we are SPARTA" (of the democratic party)!!!!!
Key point in the ABC News story....Democrat operatives went looking for another accuser and spent six hours “helping “ her recover her memory. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “help” also included a fat check from George Soros.
Butt covering.
The New Yorker drew the short straw, did the dirty work and sowed whatever it could, now all the rest pretend to be cleaner than Caesar’s wife.
Here is the bottom line point: the leftists and Democrats really don't care about women's rights. They only consider these women as pawns to further their agenda. If they were truly concerned, then they would not have defended Weinstein, Bill Clinton, etc. etc. etc. etc. and all of the other sexual predators who get a free pass because they are Democrats.
The Democrat party is evil to the core.
The 'rats would just love to have this repeated in testimony this week. Just like they loved references Anita Hill made to "Long Dong Silver". Someone channel surfing will see "Kavenaugh Hearings" scroll across the screen, and hear Soros' agent say "he thrust his penis in my face", and it will also scroll across the bottom of the screen that Kavanaugh allegedly "thrust his penis" in someone's face until the words "Kavanaugh" and "penis thrust" become inseparable.

The reason that they are “throwing shade” on this latest charge, is that now it’s become very obvious that this whole thing is nothing but a political smear campaign with no validity. They can’t play this hand again when Trump picks perhaps 2 more judges.
