Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi wrote a Sept. 25 article on liberal-media bias headlined “Kavanaugh Supporters See a Conspiracy Afoot.” The Post painted this as a little crazy, like a UFO is involved. Can anyone imagine the idea of the Democrats and liberal reporters working hand in glove to torpedo a Republican nomination?
Maybe we can remember Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg in 1987, John Tower in 1989 or Clarence Thomas in 1991. Maybe we can recall John Ashcroft being tarred as a racist in 2001. In these cases and many others, “objective” reporters lined up and repeated the Democrat talking points as “news” and often succeeded in wrecking nominations.
Farhi lined up the deniers. “We aren’t colluding with anyone about anything, including the Kavanaugh nomination,” said Martin Baron, executive editor of the Post. “The conspiracy theories are pure nonsense and completely false.”
“Pure nonsense”? The Post quotes anonymous sources multiple times a day, so how would anyone be able to piece together and figure out the entire collusion experience? The Post claims on the front page every day that “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” and it disdains “dark money” in political campaigns. But it loves “dark sources” spicing up its incessant attacks on the Trump administration.
The unintentional laugh lines kept coming. Farhi wrote, “Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson also said journalistic efforts to vet Kavanaugh are the product of hard work, not partisanship.” This from the woman who intensely labored to deny Justice Thomas his seat on the court with unproven allegations and kept smearing him as a creepy porn junkie after he was confirmed. So did her old reporting (and book-writing) partner, Jane Mayer, who declared about her present employer, The New Yorker, “We try to be fair, accurate and tough on all sides.”
No one should believe any of these collusion deniers. No media outlet perpetuating this Kavanaugh-crushing conspiracy is nonpartisan, or disinterested. They are on a witch hunt.
Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, contacted the tip line at the Washington Post in July because she knew who would be eager to cooperate. She couldn’t nail down the time or the place where this alleged incident occurred, but the Post published the allegation anyway on Sept. 16 with maximum sympathy for her, writing, “Since Wednesday, she has watched as that bare-bones version of her story became public without her name or her consent.” Who brought that raw allegation to the surface, if not a media-Democrat campaign?
We’re up to five and counting as two more anonymous sources came forward tonight with unsubstantiated accusations. It’s bordering on absurd. This IS the demokrat party. Valdimir Lenin and “Uncle Joe” Stalin would be so proud of them for using their tactics. How any sane person can remain supporting them is mind boggling.
Update:
Number five just recanted his story. This IS the base of the demokrat party.

@another vet:
Like our national borders, the border on which the Democrats using unsubstantiated, unproven, unPROVABLE accusations once rested has been easily breached numerous times. There really is no defense against such a breach except for the personal conscience and morality of those who might step across that border. The Democrats have shown none of THAT exists.
The media could defend the border by raising questions about why does nothing like this EVER arise except in last minute, too late to defend against before decision moments. THEY could be grilling Feinstein why she didn’t question Kavanaugh on this matter. THEY could be dissecting the accusations and finding the discrepancies and inconsistencies so the public and make an honest and educated assumption.
Instead they are on the other side of the border, behind the accusers, pushing.
