Authors of NY Times Kavanaugh Hit Piece Blame Editors for Removing Key Detail

The New York Times co-authors of the book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation made a stunning revelation to Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC on Monday. Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly revealed that their essay included the all important admission by the supposed victim that she did not remember the incident in question and that information was removed by the Times editors.

Here are the admissions by the co-authors which has caused many to  brand the New York Times article as Fake News:

The New York Times humiliates itself yet again. Will we hear from Pooch Sulzberger about this fiasco?

NYT intentionally smeared Kavanaugh. This wasn’t an omission or an oversight.

The current Editor-in-Chief needs to quit. The paper is getting just as bad as the Jayson Blair fiasco from 2003-2004.

I agree. This was not inadvertent. Congressional Dems were also tipped so they could immediately jump into faux outrage and demand impeachment.

God bless Molly Hemingway of “TheFederalist” for spotting their corruption from her pre-release-copy of the book and blowing the whistle on these evildoers.

I suspect that two employees may find themselves brushing up on their resumes after what they said. The head honchos at the NYT won’t take well to being called out by their employees.

If she said she didn’t remember, there should not have been an article at all.

You'd think that with major mistakes like these that at least 50% of the time would go in favor of Trump, Kavanaugh, etc. It defies the law of probabilities.

Phew. Weak excuse. Childish excuse. Perfect liberal response to getting caught in lies.

There’s no consequence and they know it.
Time has proven it.

So they publish a story and then they wink and nudge as key facts get omitted.

“Oooops. Sorryyy!!! *wink wink wink*”

The editors removed any facts that did not keep with the editorial story line Pravda on the Hudson.

I used to be, long ago, a daily NYTimes reader, and gradually learn from the Conservative magazines I had not stopped reading, how facts that went against Pravda On The Hudson’s story line were ALWAYS left out.

What that rag had become very polished and accomplished at doing was making ALL their “news reports” merely attempts to disguise pure editorials. I came to understand that an avid reader of mostly Pravda on The Hudson was not well informed, just well indoctrinated.

Why didn’t Max Stier bring this up to get him off the Starr team?

I saw a segment on FNC where someone said that the ladies who were interviewed by O'Donnell and blamed the editors for removing the essential detail also spoke on NPR and totally stood by their story--the apparent remorse for the misleading NYT story was all a sham.

I was a little disturbed when I saw Asman on Varney this AM, talking to Kilmeade and they both agreed that this story will not just stop. That it will continue on almost forever and there will be an asterisk beside Justice Kavanaugh’s name so that the details will always be with him.

Personally, I don’t think that will happen, but if it does, that will be one of the great injustices of all time.

The New York Times should NEVER HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.
