I just wish, for once at least, that the article said there is a prevalence of Fake News in journalism today.

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.

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.
