UNFORCED ERROR

Self-inflicted wounds are often the most painful. That has never been truer with regard to the New York Times decision to run the latest hit piece on Brett Kavanaugh. Virtually everyone, including a lot of liberals, was immediately skeptical. The story fell apart almost immediately. This is not even a new allegation; it is a previous allegation that had been thoroughly discredited. The only people who took this seriously are people like Kamala Harris trying to breathe life into her failing presidential campaign. That was a major mistake, because it just made them look even more desperate. Kamala Harris then doubled down on stupid when she said just because there is no evidence doesn’t mean it never happened.

The few people willing to even attempt to defend this are trying to blame the FBI for not doing a thorough investigation. They are too stupid to realize that this is actually an admission that there never was any evidence; they just wanted another never-ending investigation to run out the clock on the Kavanaugh nomination. Fortunately even the RINO republicans like Jeff Flake stood up to that nonsense.

This was so obvious that even the ladies on the View shredded the New York Times. Joe Scarborough, yes that Joe Scarborough, sent out a tweet criticizing the stunning omission of a central fact. Then, to make this perfect, the Washington Post said we knew about this, but the story was too weak to publish. Ouch!

The real problem here is that it has destroyed the last remaining shreds of credibility for the New York Times and the liberal left. When even the people who have blindly supported you in the past start booing, the end is near. In the ultimate irony, the authors of this article claim the New York Times Editors deleted the exculpatory information they included in their book. That is probably true, because it was in their book. They would have little incentive to discredit their own work.

When these reporters were interviewed by MSNBC, they debunked everything. With each interview, it got worse. During an interview on “Mornings on the Mall” they said the following:

felt like we were doing right by him and suggest the book details how good of a person Kavanaugh is.”

Seldom do we see anyone go to such great lengths to destroy their own credibility. It reminds me of a story told to me by a friend who was a prosecutor. The defendant was the alleged driver of a get-a-way car used in an armed robbery. He claimed he did not even know the two people he drove to the bank, they were just strangers he gave a ride. The prosecutor showed him a picture of a woman, not the actual bank robber, and asked him if he recognized her. He said: no, Lilly is much prettier than that! The entire court room burst into laughter. The Jury was out only long enough to write down guilty on the jury form.

I believe that we will see drastic action by the New York Times. When you go from the Grey Lady to the only media source with less credibility than CNN, the end is near. The fact that this is a self-inflicted wound from an unforced error just makes it more painful. It really doesn’t get any worse than this and that is now obvious to everyone paying attention.
