One of the more interesting stories---which barely got a peep from the Corporate Media for obvious reasons---was that the whole New York Times crusade against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was admitted to have been built upon nothing but a tissue of lies. Now, it's not necessarily a great surprise that the Great Grey Lady stirs up fake news and that interest groups subsequently engineer fake protests based on their lies.
Tucker Carlson of Fox News did a short segment recently on the NYT retraction. Most of Carlson's exposes are probably familiar to those who followed the Kavanaugh Case although viewers can still get a good laugh at listening to the 'journalists' excuses for their misconduct.
Something that Carlson brought up at the end of the clip needs to be noted and---hopefully---followed up upon. Here is what he said:
"They {the reporters involved} also downplayed another fact pattern: which was just how far the Left was willing to go to destroy Kavanaugh last year. Molly Hemingway and Carrie Severino also wrote a book on the subject late last year and they reported that Leland Keyser was pressured by the Left to change her story and to support Blaisley Ford's account. Kelly and Pogrevin {the NYT 'journalists'} found out just what that pressure was. They obtained text messages in which they discussed defaming Leland Keyser as a drug addict. Keyser confirmed that this happened as she told the two reporters that 'I was told behind the scenes that certain things could happen to me if I didn't comply.' Now that's an interesting story...the truth of this story makes the activist Left look like ruthless Fascists."
I would rejoin to Mr. Carlson that he is understating the matter quite a bit. It's not a matter of the Left tarnishing its image; it is a violation of Federal Law. The United States Criminal Code (xviii:875) reads as follows:
(d)
Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the addressee or of another or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
And what about the reporters' and the NYT's actions? See Paragraph 1519 of the same Code:
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
Maybe instead of ridiculous Kangaroo Courts threatening to impeach Trump or Kavanaugh, Congress should be holding hearings on the conduct of the Media and so-called 'activists' affiliated with them. After all, if any of us little people in flyover country did to Judge Kavanaugh what the NYT did, we'd be facing stiff fines and a potential maximum of 22 years in the Federal Penitentiary.
And we're on the subject of media and activism: when was the last time we heard a story about the

In the Corporate Media, the death of a man in a federal prison who allegedly had incriminating evidence on several Deep-State officials---a death under highly suspicious circumstances---barely survived as a news story one week after it occurred! Where are all the activists who protest everything else at the drop of a hat? Some illegal immigrant with a long-standing medical condition dies in an ICE Detention Center Hospital and the rent-a-mobs are storming the gates. Why no outrage over this?
What both the Kavanaugh and Epstein incidents reveal is that the American Corporate Media is not only useless, it's worse than useless and a bunch of crooks besides.
