confirmed. and now he has been. meanwhile, i have to ask this question. has the news media come out of this controversy looking better or worse? i m pretty sure we don t look better. the narrative from trump world is the media worked with the dems to take kavanaugh down. there s a lot of concern that newsrooms have lowered their standards in pursuit of this story. let s talk about all of this and where we go from here with former cnn anchor frank cesno, also olivia nunzi and here with me in new york, april ryan. olivia, a simple question. what does it feel like in washington today? emotions are very high. obviously, those who opposed judge kavanaugh s confirmation are very upset. this is not the outcome they wanted.
