From WNYC in New York, this is on the media.

Bob Garfield is away. I'm Brooke Gladstone.

This week in the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote,

I know my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said.

Note that he regretted the words,

not the anger. His display of outrage, of anguish, weren't for show. No, they were the whole ballgame.

Until this process ends, and as I write this, I don't know yet how, Kavanaugh hasn't yet

won the post he seeks of Supreme Judicial

umpire. He's just a player and the court side contingent is mad. What left-wing groups and their

Democratic allies have done to Judge Kavanaugh isn't nothing short of monstrous. A successful confirmation for Judge Kavanaugh isn't nothing short of monstrous.

A successful confirmation for Judge Kavanaugh this weekend would be the kicker to a nearly

month-long revolt against the consequences for hurting women that the Me Too movement strives to

apply.

When we spoke with Slate staff writer Lily Luthbero last November, she explained

several of the logical fallacies used by the culture to excuse or ignore bad behavior. We called on

her again to identify the new fallacies she's seen lately, like the anti-bandwagon fallacy.

The anti-bandwagon fallacy is something I kind of made up to explain a tendency that I've

noticed where a news item's truth content actually diminishes for people as more accusations

emerge.

We saw, for instance, with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

I've never seen so many repressed memory cases in my life, especially against one guy.

Yeah.
