On Kavanaugh, CBS's Dickerson Gets Nasty With Tom Cotton
John Dickerson, host of Face the Nation on CBS, is unusually confrontational with Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a supporter of the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. The question arises because the normally mild-mannered Dickerson was shockingly combative with Cotton. View the video, because the transcript alone doesn't do justice to just how sarcastic and confrontational Dickerson was.
NYT’s Comparison: Kavanaugh’s Defense Makes Him Bad as Trump
New York Times reporters Jeremy Peters and Susan Chira shamelessly played both the race card and the Trump card to dismiss and mock Brett Kavanaugh’s anger at being called a rapist in front of America, in Sunday’s “Court Pick Steals a Page From Trump’s Playbook On White Male Anger.” The word choice gave away the paper’s disbelief at the effrontery of the conservative Supreme Court nominee…

Stelter Decries Raging Kavanaugh, ‘He Sounded Like Sean Hannity!’
While CNN media guy, Brian Stelter, normally puts on a kind of halfway-decent act when pretending to be an objective journalist, when the liberal media needs all hands on deck to help smear a Republican Supreme Court nominee, he drops the act it in a snap. That’s exactly what happened during Sunday’s so-called “Reliable Sources” where he actively teamed up with left-wing radicals to lob smears…
Liberal Activist Admits Senator Flake Was Deliberately Targeted
Univision’s Al Punto is not, by any measure of the imagination, the place to go when you are looking for balanced news analysis and political commentary. So, too, was the case with its most recent iteration, which opened with reaction to last week’s contentious hearings on the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court.
WashPost Turns to 'Bitch Media' Co-Founder for Anti-Kavanaugh Rage
Sunday's Washington Post didn't just include Kathleen Parker's defense of Lindsey Graham. The paper also made space for Andi Zeisler,the co-founder of "Bitch Media" -- which sells "Filled With Rage" mugs -- to insist Kavanaugh is guilty, guilty, guilty based on 1980s teen comedies and knee-jerk assumptions that every accuser is "resonant." Every accuser was a victim, no questions asked.
Combative Lindsey Graham Confronts Liberal Media Smears of Kavanaugh
During the show trial against Judge Brett Kavanaugh last Thursday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (NC) stood out as the Supreme Court nominee’s most ardent defender when he took on the liberal smear machine in a fiery speech that rallied many on the right. That fire was still present during an interview on ABC’s This Week where he took the liberal media head on and called them out for failing…

WashPost Dissenter: Kathleen Parker Hails 'Jiminy Cricket' Graham
Kathleen Parker is going against the grain of her Washington Post colleagues on Sunday. While the Outlook section carries headlines like "Kavanaugh is lying, his upbringing explains why," and "Why senators 'believe' Ford, but side with Kavanaugh, Parker hailed Senator Lindsey Graham as "Sen. Jiminy Cricket," the conscience of the Senate.
ABC Worries FBI Investigation of Judge Kavanaugh ‘Overly Restricted’
The FBI investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was only a couple days old and the liberal media already had the heavy equipment out to dig up the goalpost. Despite spending roughly a week comparing Kavanaugh’s confirmation to that of Justice Clarence Thomas and touting the speedy FBI investigation then, Sunday’s Good Morning America worried it was “…
NYT Fact-Checks Kavanaugh on Page One -- No Scrutiny for Blasey
Rounding up New York Times coverage of the Kavanaugh saga from Saturday: It had the gall to issue a front-page fact-check on only one side of Thursday’s gripping Supreme Court testimony, in “At Points, a Judge’s Defense Misleads and Veers Off Course.” Needless to say, Christine Blasey Ford didn’t get one. The paper’s “gender editor” Jessica Bennett also took a crack at the case on Saturday,…
MSNBC Slams Graham for 'Victim Blaming' on Wild Rape-Train Allegations
During Wednesday’s edition of MSNBC Live With Velshi and Ruhle, they championed the flimsiest and yet most horrific third allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, that he went to parties where women were drugged so that "trains" of male rapists could exploit them. Velshi and Ruhle were outraged that anyone would be skeptical of this story. NBC's Kate Snow said advocates of sexual-assault victims…
Katy Tur's Viral GOP-Trashing Tweet on Dr. Ford Is Wrong -- Ooops
Becket Adams at the Washington Examiner reports on something I flagged on Twitter for the fact checkers like PolitiFact. MSNBC host Katy Tur claimed on Twitter that none of the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee apologized to Ford for whatever pain coming forward caused her. Obviously, most Republican Senators on the committee gave their time over to lawyer Rachel Mitchell to…
CNN Gives Sarsour Forum to Bash Conservatives Over Supreme Court
On New Day Saturday, liberal activist Linda Sarsour was given an unchallenged forum as a guest to rail against Brett Kavanaugh and the possibility of a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court as CNN hosts Christi Paul and Victor Blackwell did not even bother to label her as a liberal activist.
