“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”
I’ve become suspicious
of the news media. But it hasn’t always
been that way…
Recalling a memory of long ago (sometime before I entered high school) I
once made a statement that I assumed to be true at the time. An older brother asked, “Where did you hear
that?” I responded with, “I read it in
the newspaper.” He promptly snapped back
at me as some brothers do, “Don’t believe everything you read!”
As the years passed it wasn’t too difficult to figure out just how polluted
the news media was…better stated as, “Just how polluted the news media is…”
If I can use as an example:
In an interview with Barbara Walters back in
the early nineties, Hillary Clinton was caught in a boldfaced lie and Walters
just smiled and went on with the interview as if no one noticed. Well I noticed but the easily fooled were
easily fooled and they become Hillary followers. And since Hillary is an
anti-Constitutionalist her followers acted likewise.
Now here comes Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to the
United States Supreme Court, probably the most knowledgeable Constitutionalist
ever to be chosen since the Founding Fathers first framed the words. Well if you’re a Hillary follower they can’t
have that… and so it goes, the truth becomes suspicious when that polluted
vehicle called NBC News attempts to frame Kavanaugh (See the following
commentary by John Nolte). ~ Norman E.

NBC News Hid Information that Would Have Cleared
Kavanaugh of Avenatti Rape Allegations
By John
NolteNBC News deliberately hid vital information that would have helped clear Brett Kavanaugh of the serial rape allegations Julie Swetnick and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, leveled against him.
On September 16, Kavanaugh
and his loved ones were dropped into a pit of hell due to allegations of sexual
assault from Christine Blasey Ford. Although her story quickly fell apart
during public testimony, for the three-plus weeks that would follow, in an
effort to derail his confirmation, Democrats and their allies in the
establishment media did everything in their power to personally destroy this
man as a drunken serial rapist.
NBC News and Avenatti
played a huge role in this obscene smear campaign. One notable example was NBC
breathlessly publishing and airing an assault allegation against Kavanaugh that
was quickly exposed as a hoax. NBC did not even bother to independently
corroborate this allegation prior to airing it. A Democrat handed NBC the
smear, and NBC ran with it.
To make
matters worse, we now know NBC News withheld crucial information that
undermined the allegations made by Swetnick, the Avenatti client who accused a
high school-aged Kavanaugh of spiking punch bowls at house parties so he and
his buddies could engage in serial rapes.
And we know
NBC deliberately withheld this crucial information because NBC is now admitting
it had this information all the way back on September 30.
On September
30, a week prior to Kavanaugh’s confirmation, during the most intense days of
this scandal, when Kavanaugh’s confirmation was still very much in doubt, here
is what NBC did not want the public to know…
If you
recall, although he withheld the name, Avenatti tweeted out a sworn statement
from a woman who backed up Swetnick’s outrageous rape allegations. In her
statement, this second woman swore that she, too, had witnessed Kavanaugh spike
punch bowls and take sexual advantage of girls.
Well,
unbeknownst to us, NBC interviewed this anonymous witness on September 30, and
she recanted!
But only now
is NBC News bothering to report this bombshell:
Referring to Kavanaugh spiking the punch, “I didn’t ever think
it was Brett,” the woman said to reporters in a phone interview arranged by
Avenatti on Sept. 30 after repeated requests to speak with other witnesses who
might corroborate Swetnick’s claims.
…
When asked in the phone interview if she ever witnessed
Kavanaugh act inappropriately towards girls, the woman replied, “no.”
Wait, it
gets worse…
On October
3, NBC News again spoke to this woman, and this time, she all but accused
Avenatti of fabricating her statement:
Reached by phone independently from Avenatti on Oct. 3, the
woman said she only “skimmed” the declaration. After reviewing the statement,
she wrote in a text on Oct. 4 to NBC News: “It is incorrect that I saw Brett
spike the punch. I didn’t see anyone spike the punch…I was very clear with
Michael Avenatti from day one.”
When pressed
about abusive behavior towards girls, she wrote in a text: “I would not ever
allow anyone to be abusive in my presence; Male or female.”
And now, we
come to the grand conclusion…
When asked
about the total contradiction between his client’s sworn statement and what she
told NBC, after it no longer matters, NBC now informs us, “At one point, in an
apparent effort to thwart the reporting process, [Avenatti] added in the phone
call, “How about this, on background, it’s not the same woman. What are you
going to do with that?”
So
Avenatti’s witness, the woman he brought forward to bolster Swetnick’s serial
rape claim, totally recanted to NBC News, and NBC News hid this news until now.
Moreover,
NBC News believed Kavanaugh’s chief tormentor — Avenatti — was attempting
to “thwart the reporting process,” and NBC also chose to hide this information
until long after it mattered.
So what we
have here is an NBC News eager to publish completely unfounded allegations of
sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh while at the same time hiding vitally
important information that would have helped to clear Kavanaugh at the most
crucial time of this scandal.
In other
words, in a partisan effort to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation, to do its part
to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court, NBC News published uncorroborated
smears against him and then engaged in a deliberate cover up of a legitimate
story that backed up Kavanaugh’s claim of his innocence and his claim that
there was a coordinated campaign at work to personally destroy him.
