Washington Post gets the scoop on Kavanaugh from reporter who went to another school down the road

Like we said before, the media is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting to keep the Brett Kavanaugh accusations at the top of the news cycle until Christine Blasey Ford agrees to testify under oath.

For the Washington Post, that meant getting some keen insight into Kavanaugh’s high school years by publishing a piece by one of its reporters who went to a similar prep school down the road. It was the ’80s, and prep school boys were assaulting girls all the time, and Brett Kavanaugh attended an elite prep school in the ’80s, if you get their drift.

Perspective: In the ’80, boys’ prep schools like Kavanaugh’s could be bastions of misogyny.

"I went to an elite high school down the road from his," writes national security reporter @GregJaffe. "Here’s what I saw." https://t.co/7sNDlxwxNy

So if The Washington Post’s reporter went to an elite prep school near Kavanaugh’s school in the ’80s and saw misogynistic behavior, then … what, exactly?

Are we fresh out of news to report or analyze? https://t.co/ZX7pyMEJ8V

I didn’t go to that school, nor do I have any knowledge of that night, but I’m going to go ahead and write an article making assumptions. Well done. https://t.co/fA2yFOD9ks

If you tried to make this argument as a high school debate team member, you'd be kicked off the team.

It's a weak "guilt by association" technique poorly bolstered by sexism and class envy. At least this loser showed some restraint and declined to play the race card. https://t.co/Q95dOX2aJC

So now we’re stereotyping people who went to schools “down the road” from someone. Okay? Or we can take the claims for face value, gather all facts, listen to both sides and provide due process for each party https://t.co/BXaY9KXudv

Let’s be very clear here: “He went to a prep school so he’s probably guilty” is basically just the Woke version of “He’s from ***that*** part of town so he’s probably guilty.” https://t.co/Frl7MkuKsV

Perspective: He’s from a bad neighborhood, so he’s probably guilty.

These bad takes are going to flourish until some credible details are added to this accusation. https://t.co/9iIFLWnFoB

I'm so glad we get to judge everyone based on what they look like and the communities they came from again. It was just too much work to judge based on an individual's overall personality and actions. https://t.co/bvVElcR4PN

100% irrelevant to the validity of *this* accusation by *this* accuser who has accused *that* man of assaulting her.

They have essentially reverted to guilt by proxy social behavior. 'Girls who dress like that and behave like that…' https://t.co/3ICxEzTtvS

I once walked by the Washington Post and saw two guys shooting drugs into their veins around the corner of the building. I'm sure pretty much all the staff at the Washington Post do drugs if that's the atmosphere I saw.#FakeNewsMedia https://t.co/yobQwIiLTI

Lol this is where we’re at now. “One of our reporters went to a school where there was preppy boys who were misogynists. CASE CLOSED” https://t.co/MY4czHSwmj

This is part of a weird genre aiming to prove that Brett Kavanaugh is guilty because he kinda seems like the type https://t.co/fTeAkYMru7

Then he must be guilty. Skip the trial https://t.co/JXe5VWblPy

This is Alex Jones level smearing. Matter of fact, I think Alex is doing the exact same thing regarding Christine Ford & her school. Good job, @GregJaffe

Hi @GregJaffe, how many sexual assaults did you commit in that environment?

If you’re insinuating that this is evidence to support such an allegation, do you have something to confess? https://t.co/d9Sza0GKIb

Oh I get it now. Since @GregJaffe assaulted girls in HS, everyone did. https://t.co/ZDOVsOa4ef

My God. The media is treating this EXACTLY like they did the Duke Lacrosse case.

They have learned NOTHING!

Thats cool. Try sharing actual evidence. Not smear campaigns. https://t.co/Lz0tMJB6Vs
