Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings

[Ark]

NYT updated their story with more information basically clarifying that the story isn't remotely credible and isn't supported by anyone except the person selling the book. They also deleted some super weirdo tweets on the subject. The "paper of record" deletes and modifies stories and social media content when it embarrasses them.

Doesn't matter, though, the lie is halfway around the world already and they know it.

This. They achieved their goal.

 

[Alamo]

And they clutch their pearls when Trump points out that they are fake news.

 

[Phase2]

Waiting for Snopes to fact check the NY Times on this. But I suspect they are too busy working on another Babylon Bee item.

Absolutely true. I watched ABC Monday night, and I had to watch for the tiny little blurb where they stated the allegation had not been confirmed. (in other words, they broadcast a lie)

I REALLY hope Justice Kavenaugh can sure for libel.

Oh, he can sue, but they can say what they published was opinion, and opinion is protected by the First Amendment.
As long as everything published or spoken on TV is an opinion, they can say anything they want. Notice how all the advertisements say their news is "trusted" but they never say they are reporting the truth.
(Of course, if they did say they were reporting the truth, they could claim that it was their opinion that what they said was true. You can never hold them responsible for anything they say.)

And yet, when Trump says he'd like to loosen up libel standards, he is more literally Hitler than usual

 

[Leadeye]

Absence of Malice was a good film.

BBBBBBbuuuuuututtttttt, Trump misspelled [STRIKE]potatoe[/STRIKE] I mean liable.

 

[HoughMade]

But did he misspell "Kavanaugh"?

 

[KLB]

No. He is just a self-centered bully that wants the law to allow him to sue people that say stuff he doesn't like.

 

[HoughMade]

Well, the actual malice standard does let a lot of people (media) misreport and say things they have no reason to believe with "0" fear of repercussions.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

No. He is just a self-centered bully that wants the law to allow him to sue people that say stuff he doesn't like.

He has nearly every single member of the MSM surrounding him and doing everything they possibly can to bring him down, every minute of every day, and he's the bully? Seriously?

ANYONE who does not bow down before the Democrat/Media Complex and declare them god-like is a bully by their definition.

Sounds familiar don't it?
Her skirt was too short.

 

[2A_Tom]

Similar situation here, can you spot the bully.

Hint it is the white guy.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Or like expelling the kid getting bullied in school because he defends himself against the bullies.

 

[KLB]

You think that his opinion is from his time as President? It predated that.

 

[HoughMade]

Y'know, the MSM being rabid to get him and him being a self-centered bully are not mutually exclusive.
