If only journalists were as dogged when it comes to reporting the news as they are when it comes to throwing the book at Brett Kavanaugh.
Remember when journalists practiced journalism? Those days are long gone, it seems.
In response to NBC Capitol Hill reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell’s account of a meeting between Orrin Hatch and Brett Kavanaugh:
NEWS: @OrrinHatch just spoke to Kavanaugh and Kavaaugh denies being at the party in question per a Hatch aide.
Hatch told me kavanaugh is “honest” and “straightforward” and said after talkng to Kavanaugh the woman might be “mixed up”

Some of our favorite Real Journalists™ are — dare we say it? — pouncing on the account as evidence that Kavanaugh is lying:
So Kavanaugh remembers the party in question?https://t.co/5NhWTNWhRs

So Kavanaugh remembers this party — and that he wasn't there? https://t.co/gEnwC0AMCe

How can Kavanaugh deny being at the party where there’s very few specifics about which party it even was? https://t.co/YiydEmG8BB

There is literally nothing Brett Kavanaugh could say that these hacks wouldn’t try to twist.
Logic has a hole in it

These journalists’ logic, that is. A pretty gaping one, in fact.
ffs, don't you write for a living? Do you understand how English works?

Oh! That was quick. So damn predictable.. https://t.co/SzvTX7CyvW

Watch as leftist turns "Denies being at this party" into "Remembers this party." https://t.co/uL4I4yjLnc

That’s a dishonest twist of words.

You’re obviously twisting this, but go ahead
— Larry Hawk (@szeminska61) September 17, 2018
Referring to "the party in question" does not mean you remember any such party, slimeball. The accuser said it happened at a party. That's "the party in question."

Sam, I held a party at my house in 1984. You weren’t there.
Do you remember it? Can you honestly deny being there?
See how that works?

How does Kavanaugh know which party is in question when not even the accuser knows which party it was is quite the take. pic.twitter.com/PfNeg3YDzo

This is quite the indictment Marshall is making about the accuser here.

One that coincidentally was uniformly regurgitated by @samstein and @JuddLegum and more. https://t.co/UvJ4gksgbN

It’s amazing how every comment from reporters like Sam clearly has a presumption of guilt attached, and the only question is how hey can spin it to advance that conclusion. https://t.co/sNFy01vcCD

See how convoluted the liberal logic has become?
"PROVE TO US YOU WEREN'T AT THAT PARTY KAVANAUGH!'
The lack of logic is incredible. https://t.co/U3l25PihGd

Not so incredible when you consider whose “logic” it is. This is pretty much par for the course with these people.
The lack of evidence is just further proof of his guilt.

This really is giving kangaroo courts a bad name.

What a dumb time to be alive.
