The Democrat News Media is going to brazen this one out.

Ed Whelan fired a warning shot across their bows a couple of days ago on Twitter, and they ignored him, and doubled down.

They're going for broke.

My Twitter account was actually secretly gagged for 48 hours because I was retweeting Whelan stuff relating to this "other female".

Twitter and the News Media are working together.

That’s exactly what I have been thinking. Sue Ford (and DiFi) for slander immediately after confirmation....but that will not happen.

Feinstein has immunity under the Constitution (if she’s careful about not committing defamation other than in the Senate).

Obviously “the MSM” is the real problem; if the Republicans were foolish enough to try to do anything of the sort to any Democrat, we know what the result would be.

The upshot is that - as I have been saying for years - the only recourse is to sue "the MSM.” When you say “the MSM” what you actually mean, for all practical purposes, is the Associated Press and its membership. The AP “wire” is a continuous virtual meeting of the AP and its membership, and that meeting has precisely the effect the Adam Smith would have predicted:    

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
The other wire services also homogenize journalism, so the fact that there are multiple wire services does not mitigate the fact that the AP and its membership are in a conspiracy against the public. It’s only for organizational differences that, IMHO, the AP is the worst of the worst. As my tagline says, "Journalism promotes itself - and promotes big government - by speaking ill of society.” That is its business model. The defamation of Kavenaugh is merely one example of what “the MSM” does all the time.

It is commonplace, of course, that the Democrats conflate “society” with “government.” They do so to use “society” as a euphemism when they mean nothing else but government. This is hardly a new phenomenon; it is an “argument” that Thomas Paine shredded in 1776:

SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.
Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness;

the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.

The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions.

The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil . . . - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Not just those two, but the entire spectrum of malicious willful promoters of an obvious fraud.

Agreed. Kavanaugh will be confirmed. I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s not cool for a SCOTUS member to sue based on accusations made during a confirmation hearing, but in this case I think it is absolutely required.

I think the biggest, badest defamation lawyers should go after Ford, Fineswein and others. The lawsuit(s) should be viscous and unrelenting. The Left has established a pattern of malfeasance everytime they are losing or have lost. It’s time that is put to a stop.

I also firmly believe that the resistance movement will attach itself to most candidates who lose to conservative candidates after the Novemeber election.

I think very dangerous times are ahead.
