The leftist media, in particular the Washington Post, tried to destroy the reputation of Brett Kavanaugh's high school as part of their campaign to keep him off the Supreme Court. The article's author is the communications and marketing director for Georgetown Prep.
While the article is from National Review, it contains no Trump bashing.
The answer is NO!
Great response to the LIARS!
I just wish, for once at least, that the article said there is a prevalence of Fake News in journalism today. They laid out plenty of evidence in regards to coverage of Georgetown Prep, but couldn’t once mention Fake News!
I think the author does a good job describing just how vile and dishonest the Washington Post is. He may be less concerned with the larger issue of fake news than with whether or not he will have a job next year.
People seem to forget that the "dying dinosaur media" still have real power, and they abuse the hell out of it. This is a very good example of that abuse. I hope Georgetown Prep can survive.
Nor did the untruths conclude with the Senate proceedings. Just last week a Post reporter contacted me about what she called a “fun little item” regarding our search for a new director of alumni relations. Despite the fact that I informed her, in writing, a mere eight minutes after she contacted me that the job had posted in July and had nothing to do with the present media frenzy, the Post printed her story falsely claiming the search came as a result of the very controversy that paper so breathlessly stoked. Worse, when I demanded a correction, the Post initially “stealth edited” the story without informing readers that it had been changed, even though the error undermined its entire premise.

The WaPo has cemented its moniker of fake news.

Sorry but the educators are almost exclusively Lib, reap what you sow.
Don’t know (or care) much about Georgetown Prep, but have absolutely no respect for Jesuitgay central - Georgetown.

The NYTimes did the same thing to Nikki Haley over the purchase of some expensive drapery for the UN Ambassador’s office. The Times was informed that the purchase had been made by her predecessor (Obama’s UN Ambassador) and that Haley had nothing to do with it. The Times ran with the hit piece anyway.
Today’s journalists are nothing more than stenographers for the Democrat Party. They don’t know a fact from an allegation, and what’s more, they don’t care.
Pity all the competent and sober men who have the name "Georgetown Prep" on their resumés and in their official bios.
One can hope that some vindicating event may happen to set things right for Georgetown Prep, as was the case with Duke University and their lacrosse team. Yet the 88 faculty co-signers of a full-page newspaper condemnation of the innocent lacrosse team students has yet to appear, 12 years later.
Otherwise, I foresee an institutional name change for Georgetown Prep in a few years' time. I agree with the author's concern that these accusations will still be bruited about even after Kavanaugh is dead; they have certainly never gone away for Joe McCarthy, who was proven right about communist spies in our government some 20+ years later after the fall of the Soviet Union, nor have they gone away for Justice Thomas, who just had his accusations all raked up again. Truly, Kavanaugh and the school were both martyred.
Not a surprise, since the libs and Leftoids at the post undoubtedly support the publik skrewel systems, at least for kids other than their own.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
