The controversy surrounding the New York Times and Brett Kavanaugh has continued to escalate

with new information emerging, and the New York Times actually had evidence in their

story, which casts doubt on this new allegation, and removed it.

They removed it intentionally.

It was the editors.

Now, this is a complicated circumstance, and I don't want to imply.

I'll be very careful.

The authors weren't necessarily trying to mislead, but the information was omitted, combining

this with other bits of information that were omitted, and I personally feel it was

intentional.

Now, I leave only slightly towards it being intentional, because I always say, never

attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence, it's Hanlon's razor.

But in this circumstance, a lot of information was omitted.

Now look, this is the third video I'm doing on Kavanaugh, and it's kind of frustrating.

But there's an important reason outside of the fake news why I highlight this.

The Kavanaugh effect is widely believed to have helped Republicans in the Senate in

2018.

That by coming out with these outrageous stories about Brett Kavanaugh and smearing him,

Republicans were riled up, and it strengthened Trump's base.

Though we do have a lot of interesting tidbits here having to do with fake news and media

malfeasance, we also have the very real impact this might have in bolstering Republicans

and the right.
