but what’s he think about the pancake story..lol
Normally, however, editors work with contributors on their submissions. The process usually requires a last look by contributors to the edited material for any last-minute issues created by the editing. Why did the two reporters sign off on the submission rather than insist that the key sentence be restored to provide the proper context, perhaps with a redaction in place of the woman’s name? O’Donnell doesn’t ask, and the two never volunteer an answer.
Mollie Hemingway isn’t buying it for another reason. First, as she initially noted on Twitter, the two sat around for at least a full day without speaking up about the missing sentence and context, even when it started getting noticed. More importantly, though, Hemingway discovered that the two left out the same information in an NPR interview that was taped late last week before the NYT “adaptation” had been published:
In response to a question about any other women coming forward, the authors excitedly tell Max Stier story, never mentioning that they never spoke to the woman or that she denied it through several friends. Difficult to blame this on editing.

Not only that, but the two also discuss with NPR how Leland Keyser helps to establish Christine Blasey Ford’s credibility without ever once mentioning that Keyser told them explicitly that she doesn’t find Blasey Ford credible. That’s before they get to Stier’s story, which was a secondhand bit of gossip about something so inconsequential that the alleged victim doesn’t recall it at all. The authors also claim that they “haven’t found motivations for them to lie,” even though Blasey Ford’s attorney admitted last week that part of their motivation in coming forward was to defend Roe v Wade and to “put an asterisk” next to Kavanaugh’s name in perpetuity.
Is this the same as O’Donnell repeatedly saying “if true” when he was pushing another made up Trump fairytale a couple of weeks ago?
Far and wide people need to disseminate this... make it a Campaign Ad and Billboard.
Potemkin Village started it. The Communists, financed by Soros will finish it.
Not only do these accusations have no credibility, even if they were true they’re nothing. Compared to Clinton and Epstein these accusations are the equivalent of taking a piece of gum from somebody without permission.
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”
Not to be picky I thought this quote was from Macbeth.
Could care less. Haven’t read a NYT, Compost or Slimes article (beyond the headline) going on three years. Finally, I kept a New Year’s resolution!
I like “finger pointing” at the NYT.
The Times had a public editor named Daniel Okrent years ago - appointed after the Jayson Blair scandal.
It’s time for the New York Times to track Okrent down - offer him his job back... and start cleaning house...
The NYTimes knows which side its bread is buttered on.
At the first sign of any objectivity in its reporting on anything connected to Trump (or his nominee Kavanaugh), its readers go berserk and start cancelling subscriptions.
So - yeah, this incident might be malpractice from a journalistic point of view - but who gives a rap about that, at the NYTimes? Middle finger to all these journalistic puritans. The bottom line is where it’s at. Give our readers what they want.
It attached itself to the legacy media, it's called fake news, the media is corrupt, Trump is right to constantly call them out. The legacy media is now simply an outlet for Leftist activism.
Absolutely disgusting “journalism”. The media is pure scum.
Trump should start calling them “the New York Goebbels”
(now with 25% more anti-semitism !!!!)
