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 supposed 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 first-hand 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 piece by Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, adapted from their forthcoming book, asserted that a Kavanaugh classmate, Clinton-connected nonprofit CEO Max Stier, "saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student."


The Times did not mention Stier's work as a Clinton defense attorney, or Stier's legal battles with Kavanaugh during the Whitewater investigation, and simply called him a "respected thought leader."

The Goebbels Media strikes out again.

Trump has exposed and broken the insane Democrats and their Goebbels Media wing.

Oh noz! A news source corrected a story!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, your news sources don't care about facts, so they do not bother to correct their stories, but that is why regular media is better than the stuff you use.

The media that the OP cited NEVER does that.

So, it must have come as a shock!

There’s no real argument here.

The post above is a case of Bizarro.

The Goebbels Media has been wrong about endless stories in an effort to get Trump and others associated with him... like Kavanaugh (and we know why), and the best you can do, is vomit up demented crap like the above?!!!

ROTFLOL...

The beauty of Leftists spilling their guts.

Read the comments of Leftists in the following thread...

[W:369]Kavanaugh accused of more unwanted sexual contact by former classmate

You folks must be beyond disappointed by the failings of your Democrat Party and Goebbels Media.

But you’re not.

Thats a rather huge 'correction.' In fact, if the 'correction' was part of the original story, there is no story at all. Why do you defend this sort of crap?

Nice whataboutism there. Any comment on the NYT running an unsubstantiated hit piece? Or do you not care because you hate the person being smeared

Naaaah... compared to the massive false reporting about Trump and their ignoring Obama and his deep state crimes, a Trump nominated Supreme Court Justice is just small scale collateral damage in their pursuit of a Socialist Utopia. Oh well.

They Goebbels Media is free to throw any crap against the wall hoping it will stick... as their brain dead party and Goebbels Media buddies will almost always rally around them.

Hopefully they get their asses sued off.
 
~ This is No surprise. I guess the retraction is only an attempt to regain lost trust as the majority of Americans no longer depend on "facts" from mainstream media. "News" as reported today is more often than not opinions and assumptions. NYT has long been a shill for liberal leftist politics.
 
You can count on the liberals to pay that girl to remember

The only reason they corrected it was because they got caught yet again for their bogus story and bogus information.

Uh, I think "Oh, by the way, the person whom we claimed was victimized by a SCOTUS Justice in fact has no memory of the event" is a pretty BFD, in regards to this story. False stories, like this one, always run ahead of their corrections, and that's been the story of the entire, idiotic, lurid, disgusting mess around accusations against Kavanaugh.

This would sort of be like "[Insert Whomever Is The Democrat Candidate in 2020 here] RAPES CHILDREN*"


It turns out that we knew at the time there was no evidence for this claim. We apologize for the oversight, but you should still give us full props for self-critical honesty because we are saying it now.



How in the everloving f*** an entity that looks on itself as a "Media" organization like the Times can run this story without bothering to find out whether or not the alleged victim even thinks it happened....


....well, it should be astonishing. But it isn't, anymore :-/





You know, as a Conservative who loathes what Trump has done to the GOP and the "Conservative" movement writ large, and who gets into arguments with Trump fans on a regular basis, it sure would be a lot easier to push back on Trumpkin claims about the media if the media didn't keep validating them.

Right, accept that FOX and Hannity would just continue pushing the strory for months after it had been discredited and far right posters here would go along with it. Seth Ritch, anyone?

Of course they would. Just as people on the left are continuing to push long-discredited accusations about Kavanaugh, and believed and bought into, and defended ludicrous idiocy at the time of his nomination fight. Tribalism is making people insanely stupid.

Seth Ritch, anyone?

Seth Ritch is a fantastic example of the kind of idiocy, self-confirming bull****, and tribalism that so many in media have descended to. At least at FOX most of that seems to be contained within the infotainment side, though I agree it's odious.

One story about a Democrat operative murdered which has gone unsolved. And is surrounded by odd circumstances. Can you provide a story with flat out false reporting on par with say:

2-plus years of Russian Collusion? A total farce.

O’Donnell’s Deutsche Bank Belly Flop from 35,000 feet?

The parade of Kavanaugh lying wenches... and Ford’s lawyer admitting it was due to his plausible abortion vote?

The endless lie about what he did not say in Charlottesville.

And as a quick summary of the train of deceit...

86... a fitting number for the Goebbels Media.

That is a false story related to Trump... every 11.5-days!!! As he has been in office 968 days.*

Now... what was it you wanted to say about the latest smear by your Goebbels Media?

And then there's Pizzagate. Still going strong in certain right wing circles. You guys live and breath lies and smears.
 
This is simple, willful ignorance. You need to get a clue, son.

Kamala Harris calling for Kavanaugh's impeachment based on an accusation that the victim doesn't remember. If someone shoves a dick in your face, you're going to remember. Doesn't matter how drunk you are.

This is blatant partisanship on Harris's part - pandering to the dumbest part of her base. Disgusting. She also supported Jessie Smollet. This woman was a prosecutor? Give me a break.

ROTFLOL... No... Pizzagate was not something 99% of the Right believed. Tell me... was FOXNEWS reporting this as a viable story? No.

Yet, The Goebbels Media poison you have been ingesting has been constant. A false story 11.5 days on average.

Would you enter into a relationship with those who lie to you so easily with regularity? It seems you would.

And Kamala should know better, as she knows about taking dick.

I wonder, why has the Goebbels Media given her a pass for ****ing her way forward?

If you get it right on page one today, there is no need to correct it or apologize next week on page 19B.

I'm sick of the print first, retract later, school of journalism.
