The biggest broadcasters and cable news networks are clearing their daytime schedules Thursday for coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused him of sexual assault when they were high school students in the 1980s.
With the wall-to-wall coverage starting at 10 a.m. EDT, the hearing promises to be a national drama along the lines of Clarence Thomas confirmation hearing in 1991, when Anita Hill testified that he had sexually harassed her.
Kavanaugh has forcefully denied Fords accusations.
The stakes are very high, said Christopher Isham, vice president and Washington bureau chief at CBS News. Not only are the political implications huge, with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court at stake, the hearing is likely to continue the national conversation over treatment of women that has been taking place since the beginning of the #MeToo movement.
Since it wasnt certain when or even if the hearing would take place until a couple of days ago, it has meant for some furious last-minute planning to organize the television coverage.
It will be the first time Ford has been seen in public since making her accusations. Kavanaugh appeared Monday on a Fox News Channel interview, itself an extremely unusual event for a Supreme Court nominee. That interview was seen by 3.6 million people, a fraction of the people who are likely to see him Thursday....

When this all goes to sh!t, I want to see the tar and feathering coverage.
First I've ever heard of it.
And I associate with many, MANY different kinds of people every week.
Good God, these media morons are full of themselves.
The pound me too movement?
Nope, the “PUT OUT FOR A JOB/PUT OUT FOR A STARRING ROLE/PUT OUT FOR AN OSCAR” Movement.
Goal—DElay, delay, delay until the election. Democrats take over house and Senate and reject Kav and all others that Trump nominates. Women will claim each one raped them (and men if he nominates a woman) VOTE GOP—only way to stop these abominations.
They will escape to regular programming...
I’ll gladly miss the entire peep show until the vote is held.
Since this will be on every channel, I hope the accusers testimony comes back to haunt them all.
I thought the accuser demanded a low key hearing without a lot of cameras in a small venue???
So, uh...she DROVE out there to take a polygraph at the AIRPORT..?
Who believes THAT..?
This insect is a complete LIAR.
Glad I am working 10-6 tomorrow...I will catch a little too f Rush on my lunch hour and avoid the circus...But I am praying for God to intervene directly and His truth shines thru. I pray also for the safety of all those who are being threatened. I pray that if payments to these accusers have been made that the evidence of such payment would be forthcoming tomorrow. The fight is a deeply spiritual one over abortion, killing babies because women on the left believe in self satisfaction without responsibility. We must stand up for the babies and be strong, this fight HAS to be won or we are done as a nation.
Amen.
just what 24 hour cable news wants...eyeballs on the tv screen. IMO 24 hour cable news is one of the primary reasons for our political divide given they take an editorial position and run with it attracting like minded viewers.
