Whoa: Text Messages Reveal NYT Reporter Told Kavanaugh Source What To Say
[Townhall] A Senate Judiciary Committee report revealed that New York Times reporter Robin Pogrebin coached sources on what to say and how to respond to her questions based on information she obtained, The Federalist reported. Her motive was to shape a false narrative against now-sitting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and allegations of sexual misconduct. Pogrebin is one of the co-authors of the anti-Kavanaugh book whose chapter was featured in the New York Times last week.

#4 Are people surprised by this? I take it for granted now that these "sources" are purposefully cultivated and instructed by journalists and their political handlers.

#6 I think the NYT's credibility is now shot with all but maybe 8% of the population.

They do not deserve to be called "journalists" anymore, or characterized as "the press."

There needs to be a new category under the law that combines political activist organization with profit-seeking publicly-traded corporation.

And new laws need to be written that deny them the kinds of protections we provide journalists. They aren't journalists at all.

"The Times says we don't need a visa.
It's just like the Met:
Get a bill and you're set.
'Si, that's me,' and we're in like Aliza!"
