Delay, Deceive and Destroy
Who believes another FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh will be the end of it? If the FBI finds nothing to support Christine Blasey Ford's testimony that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party, will it be enough for Democrats to vote to confirm him? Republicans say the investigation is limited to her charge and that of a third accuser, Julie Swetnick, whose allegations,…

ABC Aids Dems Moving Goalposts on Kavanaugh: Lying About Drinking?
As everyone already knew, Democrats were never going to be satisfied with a one week FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

People Mag Applauds Emma Watson’s Abortion Letter
Ever heard of the news outlet Porter? Up until Oct. 1, neither had I.
Apparently the fledgling platform (begun in 2014) is getting quite a bit of traffic and media praise after it asked feminist actress Emma Watson to write a posthumous letter to Dr. Savita Halappanavar, an Indian dentist who passed away in 2012 due to a miscarriage. Feminists and other activists alleged that Dr. Halappanavar’s…

NY Times Imagines Blasey Being 'Ripped Apart' by GOP Men
Beneath the bland headline of the New York Times’ long sole editorial Monday morning hid a corrosively partisan rant, “Women Are Watching,” that elided recent history to transform sexual harassment into solely a problem among Republican politicians (and never mind Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, or Al Franken). This part was pure fantasy: "Galvanized by watching Dr. Blasey get ripped…

Is CBS’s New Gentrification Comedy ‘Racial' or 'Racist?’
Monday night, CBS’s new comedy The Neighborhood took on one of the biggest hot button topics of this generation—race. Of course, we have seen this concept done before: A family of one race (here, the Johnsons) moves into a neighborhood full of residents of another race, where they meet their new neighbors (the Butlers). And perhaps the most predictable part of the plot line — the family patriarch…

NY Times Leads With Dems Denouncing FBI 'Limits' as 'Farce'
In Monday’s New York Times lead story on the continuing Kavanaugh controversy, reporters Michael Shear and Robin Pogrebin showed the Times eagerly marching down the field in step with the Democrats as they moved the goalposts on the FBI inquiry, which they once demanded but now consider insufficiently broad: “Democrats Irked By Limits Placed On F.B.I.’s Inquiry.” The online headline was more…
