NYT updates Kavanaugh 'bombshell' to note accuser doesn't recall alleged assault
Fox News ^ | Sept. 16, 2019 | Greg Re

Posted on 09/16/2019 6:19:48 AM PDT by libstripper

The New York Times suddenly made a major revision to a supposed bombshell piece late Sunday concerning a resurfaced allegation of sexual assault by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — hours after virtually all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates had cited the original article as a reason to impeach Kavanaugh.

The update included the significant detail that several friends of the alleged victim said she did not recall the purported sexual assault in question at all. The Times also stated for the first time that the alleged victim refused to be interviewed, and has made no comment about the episode.

"NYT new motto :

“Throw it against the wall & see if it sticks”"

Eventually....it will stick, for 2 primary reasons.

(R)'s generally don't fight back and secondly, the numbers of ignorant people in this country increases daily.

The "revision" appeared suddenly after Mollie Hemingway worked the Times over in a thread on Twitter.

So I’m reading the new anti-Kavanaugh book by shockingly (really) biased reporters at NYT. All claimed anonymous sources are anti-Kavanaugh while all but a tiny few on-record sources are downright effusive. Just interesting how highly they contradict each other.— Mollie (@MZHemingway) September 15, 2019

The civil legal system and judges are partly to blame, When was the last time a liable or slander suit awarded against these media liars.

What drives me crazy about this kind of stuff is, yea sure sue for liable and defamation and spend a year trying to get the system to even hear your case, but the definition of the truth in the court of public opinion is the first story that hits the street everything after that is a rebuttal.

So let’s smear this guy’s character some more cuz we can and we can create the image of evil white guy conservative.

“The hate filled Left really needs to stop this libel.”

Why would they? There are no consequences.

Yep, inaction on multiple crimes by the DOJ perpetuates this crap.

This is not about making anything stick. This is about (1) trying to intimidate PDJT into nominating someone the Dems approve of when Ruth Buzzie finally passes, and (ii) trying to intimidate conservatives into rejecting a nomination for the seat.

One can only hope that PDJT has gotten the message that you can't work with these bastards, you can only fight them with everything you've got.

This might cover the Times’ behind legally, but it won’t slow down the Dems’ smear campaign or calls for Kavanaugh’s impeachment.

The NYT sure has to shift into reverse a lot these days. Maybe they should vet stories before they go to print.

“MSNBC is pumping it out as him being guilty right now.”

So is ABC.

Gee, if we had a real FBI, a real DOJ rather than the entities that were polluted and for all intents and purposes destroyed by 8 years of bammy...

If we had real law and justice in this Country someone would look into the "alleged victim" and find out who prompted her to come up with this obviously false accusation. There's a money trail in there somewhere. The "alleged victim" should be prosecuted and serve time, as should everyone connected with the false attack - all the way back up to the original money source. A few years 3 hots and a cot would be a great lesson to them, and an even better message to any others who might want to try something similar.

I guess you didn't read the article. The "alleged victim" did not come forward and, according to friends, has no recollection of it. NYT is the perp here.

I realize the NYT is now a full-on propaganda machine for the left, with no ethics, no journalistic integrity... But do you really believe they just pulled this lady's name out of a virtual hat and wrote her into their original drivel? I'll bet she was contacted, and was initially on-board with taking another run at Kavanaugh, and then got cold feet and is now throwing NYT under the bus. Maybe her lawyer explained libel law and counter-suits to her.

Not that getting publicly discgraced is a problem for the NYT, they're a sewer rag now anyway but. I believe she was in on it, in spite of her story now. The NYT wouldn't have pressed forward with this trash that could be so easily torpedoed. This had to have been a surprise to them too.
