    "NYT updates Kavanaugh 'bombshell' to note accuser doesn't recall alleged assault"

    "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.

    The only firsthand statement concerning the supposed attack in the original piece, which was published on Saturday, came from a Clinton-connected lawyer who claimed to have witnessed it.

    The Times' revision says: "Editors' Note: An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article."

    The update came only after The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, who reviewed an advance copy of the book, first flagged the article's omission on Twitter — prompting other commentators to press the issue.

    The Times did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News seeking comment.

    The paper's editors' note, meanwhile, did little to stem a torrent of criticism late Sunday.

    "Should I be surprised at this point that the NYT would make such an unforgivable oversight?"
    — Mark Hemingway

    One wonders what old Bill actually did in college.
    One also wonders how the NYT's stays in business.

    Silence is one of many ways lefties evade, but it is a picture worth a thousand words.

    The trolls have lost their collective voices on this.
    They're like the drive-by media. They throw stuff out the window that's untrue and then speed off.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I absolutely love threads like this where lefty after lefty reads it and then runs off without posting anything. I'll have to bump it a couple times just to disturb the lefties who can't respond.

    Bottom line with Brett is that he was a shit candidate from the start, a spoiled preppy who was nothing more than a straight political lackey nominated to cover Trump's ass, even Roberts had questions regarding his qualification to sit on the Court.

    His hearing was a circus, partially his and Trump's fault, "I like beer, do you like beer," what goes around comes around, he's tainted, and always will be

    The NYT's had to admit that she isn't the accuser - she is an alleged victim, but not the accuser.

    such partisan trash. ABA rated him "Well Qualified" .

    You can thank the Dems for turning the hearings into a pig circus -they were the ones asking questions
    .
