New York Slimes: …deletes bizarre tweet referencing Brett Kavanaugh’s ‘harmless’ penis

Wait, it gets better.

The New York Times suddenly made a major revision to a supposed bombshell piece late Sunday concerning a resurfaced allegation of sexual assault by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — hours after virtually all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates had cited the original article as a reason to impeach Kavanaugh.
 
The update included the significant detail that several friends of the alleged victim said she did not recall the purported sexual assault in question at all. The Times also stated for the first time that the alleged victim refused to be interviewed, and has made no other comment about the episode.

Mission accomplished, damage done.

Somebody told Google this man is 5′ 4″ tall.

Maybe it was a journalist.

You had one job.

Yes, the government-financed and government-owned broadcaster has assigned its very own self the job of assessing the “truthfulness, accuracy and plausibility” of politicians running for the Parliament that determines its budget.

Under CNN’s Kavanaugh Rule he must now prove his innocence: A man is suing Don Lemon, claiming the CNN host attacked him at a Hamptons bar last summer…

Stupid and sloppy: The list of folks asking what happened to Charles Adler is growing.

Fake News Fredo.

Update. Of course it has.

Here’s another.

A man in NY yesterday approached CNN's Chris Cuomo and called him "Fredo"

Cuomo: "You're going to have a problem"

Man: "What are you going to do about it?"

Cuomo: "I'll fuckin ruin your shit. I'll fucking throw you down these stairs"

Language advisory.

Driving the division, broad brushing, and hatred this week has been the liberal media. Whether it’s newspapers amplifying the disgusting rhetoric of people like Beto O’Rourke and Elizabeth Warren or the constant stream of divisive, racially tinged editorials that are being pushed out, there’s no question of their role. The cable news beat has been even worse, with one MSNBC host actually saying that Donald Trump wants there to be mass shootings while another threatened business owners as complicit in white supremacy who donate to the GOP.
 
I never thought I’d say this during the Trump era because things are always so crazy, but this week was different. A line was crossed by the media and there’s no going back.
