So, for those keeping score at home, a Democratic politician admitted to making up crap and smearing Justice Clarence Thomas as an Uncle Tom.

So why didn’t we hear about it right after it happened? Didn’t the MSM think it was worth covering?

This one certainly wasn’t thoroughly vetted — by the public or the mainstream media.
