Skeptical Camerota Grills Avenatti: Client Claims ‘Strain Credulity'

But Thursday morning, just a few hours before Judge Kavanaugh and his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford appeared before the Senate to testify, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota had on lawyer Michael Avenatti…

NYT Discovers College: ‘Worrisome Portrait..Unusually Drunk' Kavanaugh

The front page of Thursday’s New York Times featured more sliming of youthful Kavanaugh as a drunk in “An Emerging Portrait of a Student ‘Frequently Unusually Drunk.’” The text box: “Ex-Classmates of Judge Recall Hard Partying.” The jump-page headline snuck in a slimy adjective: “Worrisome Portrait Emerges of a Student ‘Frequently Unusually Drunk.” Thursday’s front page also featured the headline…

NBC: Will GOP Find Allegations ‘Too Muddy’ and Just Dump Kavanaugh?

During extensive pre-hearing coverage on Thursday’s Today show, co-host Hoda Kotb was already wondering if Senate Republicans would abandon Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh: “Is there a point in here where some Republicans just say, ‘You know what? This is a little too muddy. Why don’t we just go ahead and put Brett Kavanaugh over here and go with our next person in line’?”

Mika: 'We Sucked Up' to Hillary's Campaign 'In Ways That Embarrass Me'

In a "Ten Questions" interview in Time magazine, MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski plugged a new edition of her book Know Your Value, but Time's Belinda Luscombe also pushed her to thump Trump.

Joy Reid Sued Over Claim Trump Supporter Slammed Boy With Racist Slurs

MSNBC host Joy Reid has learned the hard way what can happen when a person is in too much of a hurry to spread allegations about someone else before checking if those accusations are true. Roslyn La Liberte, a California woman who Reid claimed shouted racial slurs at a Latino teen during a heated public meeting on immigration in June, filed a defamation suit against Reid in federal court in New…

The Kavanaughs Speak

At times Brett and Ashley Kavanaugh sounded rehearsed and overly cautious in their “exclusive” interview with Fox News host Martha McCallum Monday night. Brett Kavanaugh repeated verbatim lines about defending his character and allowing the “process” to play out. He said he would not withdraw in the face of unsubstantiated charges against him. At times their answers seemed coached, but then it is…

My Explosive Revelation for Thursday

WASHINGTON -- My crack team of investigative journalists is sitting on an explosive revelation about a senior Democrat in the United States Senate. When we will publish this story I have not yet decided, but it could come as early as Thursday, when Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh and professor Dr. Christine Blasey Ford will supposedly tell their stories in open-door hearings.

Stop Google’s Kiddie Data Predators

No consent. No disclosure. No escape. For legions of unwitting students and teachers across the country, this is the dangerous, de facto data policy Google has imposed over their school districts. An estimated 80 million students and teachers are now signed up for free “G Suite for Education” accounts (formerly known as Google Apps for Education); more than 25 million students and teachers now…

University Corruption

I'm thankful that increasing attention is being paid to the dire state of higher education in our country. Heather Mac Donald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has just published “The Diversity Delusion.” Its subtitle captures much of the book's content: “How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture.” Part of the gender pandering at our universities is seen…

CNN’s Cuomo Misleads Viewers On Content of Kavanaugh Calendars

You know, for someone whose cable network has a mantra of “#FactsFirst”, CNN host Chris Cuomo has a really difficult time telling the truth. During Wednesday’s edition of Cuomo PrimeTime, he ran a segment he purported was to examine the 1982 calendar pages Judge Brett Kavanaugh submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee ahead of the hearing on Thursday.

Devil in the Details: Nets Ignore the Massive Holes in Kavanaugh Tales

Journalistic standards and ethics no longer exist. That has become painfully obvious as the Kavanaugh confirmation process has dragged on. Wednesday saw a third outlandish accusation (a fourth and fifth by nightfall) that the liberal media pounced on with a blatant disregard for the facts and no curiosity for the truth. During their evening newscasts, the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and…
