For all the recent talk about facts versus “fake news,” telling the truth, and recapturing the public's trust in the era of President Trump, some of our most important newsrooms blew it when it mattered most. Worse still, some media organizations demonstrated an immediate willingness to trade this industry's already badly battered reputation for a political victory.
We are now at the unsuccessful conclusion of a four-week-long effort by certain media organizations to prove Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is a violent sexual predator and a lying alcoholic. The reckless and grossly irresponsible scramble by the New Yorker, NBC News, the New York Times, and others to make Kavanaugh into a monster produced some of the worst journalism of the Trump era to date – and that's a pretty high bar.
There were plenty of minor fouls, including when the Times assigned a news story on Kavanaugh to a magazine opinion writer who openly opposed his nomination. Others were much greater, including when NBC published an anonymously written letter alleging (with zero corroboration) that Kavanaugh was observed by an anonymous woman in 1998 to have pushed another anonymous woman.

They don’t care anymore. It’s political victory “trumps” all.
The thing that that I keep thinking.....Sooner or later the stockholders have to start raising hell.
As long as the media and education is controlled by the left what future does America have. Adolf said he didn’t need adults. He already had the kids.
These agencies are not news organizations, they are openly and admittedly Left Wing activists.
Now can someone please pass the soma?
"Some media organizations" huh?
They are all paying the price.
Just like the '40's gangster movies. Detective finds a hooker with a heart of gold among all the rest of the trash, but in the final analysis, she's still just a hooker with a heart of gold.
But had all of the sloppy and often unethical reporting on Kavanaugh been the product of mere negligence or human error, the law of averages suggests that some errors would have been in his favor.
None of them were.
From great to small, they all tried to prove Kavanaugh unfit to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Eff the New York Times, the New Yorker and all the rest of the slime.
The media is the deep state.
They (Progressive Media) never really cared. They could afford a light patina of "caring" when they were winning most fights.
Now, they see they are losing, and the patina of "caring" has long worn off.
