Just minutes after Christine Blasey Ford, a California-based psychologist, went public with accusations of teenage sexual assault against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee, internet investigators began combing her past for clues about her possible motives, and trying to cast doubt on the veracity of her claims.
Since then, Dr. Blasey, as she is known professionally, has been the subject of a torrent of misinformation online. Some viral rumors about Dr. Blasey have been quickly debunked. But false claims have continued to spread on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and other social networks.
Here are several of the most visible false and misleading claims about Dr. Blasey, along with explanations of what’s really happening.
Claim 1: Dr. Blasey’s students left negative reviews on her RateMyProfessors.com profile, calling her “unprofessional” and citing her “dark” personality. Verdict: False. This viral rumor is based on a case of mistaken identity. The RateMyProfessors.com page on which these negative reviews were found is about Christine A. Ford, a professor of human services at California State University Fullerton. Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser, teaches at Palo Alto University.
This story made an early appearance on Grabien, a little-known news website. It was then picked up by several right-wing media outlets, including by the Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who tweeted a link to it, and the Drudge Report, which featured it on its home page. Grabien later issued a correction and published an editor’s note apologizing for the error. But the article remained online, and several other websites have since picked it up.
Claim 2: Judge Kavanaugh’s mother once ruled against Dr. Blasey’s parents in a foreclosure case.
Verdict: False.

Wow...this woman is a saint...just ask Snopes and the NYT.
the NYT may be correct, however we all know the NYT has a long history of not telling the truth.
FR has already debunked those points. The racist New York Times needs to catch up.
Leave it to the slimes to defend the scum lying indefensible
Gee, the great Slimes rehabbing an impeached “witness”?
Oh yes, so the Times will now focus on these sorts of things and not the actual issue of whether or not her story really is true.
Those we’re the false flag rumors. We’re into actually facts here.
How about ties to George Soros and being at rallys wearing pink vagina hat?
I didn’t realize that debunking and rehabilitating was their job /s
Well gee. I guess that settles that....../s
Exactly
They are the hive press.
Running interference for the hive is their job.
Trying to get my head around the concept of the NYT debunking ‘false’ rumors. It’s like the sound of one hand clapping.
Thanks for posting. She was and is a dumb slut
Here is one not on the list...

The NYTimes going to bat - again - for their team.
