joining us to analyze the fallout for the times and for journalism mollie hemingway of the federalist, fox news contributor, future of the supreme court. beverly, president of district media group and former state department official under hillary clinton, molly, obviously you coauthored a book of portrayal of justice kavanaugh, what s your view of level of proof in making this accusation of another long ago sexual assault incident and also do you buy the explanation that editors happened to cut that key information from the newspaper story in heist? they omitted the information, went out of their way to omit the information, npr had to edit in a clarification, the idea that we can claim editors for something coming from reporters is inappropriate, we interviewed more than a 100 people, we fact-checked everything, multiple sources for everything that we went with, yes, we do
brett kavanaugh, the alleged victim of sexual assault doesn t member such type incident and donald trump is the leading critic. i call for the resignation of everyone at the new york times , they have taken the old great lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue and ruined her reputation. i could not believe the new york times would write this piece without that information contained in it. there was zero intent to mislead anybody about the details of the incident. as the times report blame editors the stories haven t stopped democrats the justice be impeached, i m howard kurtz and this is media buzz.
care of rule of law and presumption of innocence and we tried hard to get the facts right and it s very important. this shows the corruption of our media right now, they fixate on a target and they try to destroy the person and will omit key information and facts wrong and do whatever it takes to construct a narrative rather than just report facts. some other organizations were critical of the times handling of this because if a story is based on an incident, the woman traumatized, she doesn t remember this happening, the question is, is that even a story. well, i think probably the outlet that has been harshest on the new york times it s been the new york times , you showed the clip of basically the reporters throwing their editors under the bus, the times screwed up here, no doubt about that. the times screw up here and my interaction with them over the years has been there s no single editor, times has bad habit of looking at things depending on where they are in the paper,
demanding details and wall street journal saying that trump asked ukraine president to launch investigation of joe biden and son hunter. anybody dumb enough to believe that i would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader? yes, mr. president, unfortunately the answer is yes. the corrupt line rage and hateful media mob out at it again spinning in circles for the last 24 straight hours they have, again, breathlessly, historically echoing report from the washington post. biden called this abuse of power while the president dismissed the story and denounced the media. it s a partisan whistleblower, they shouldn t have information, it s just another political hack job, it s another media disaster. the media has lost so much credibility in this country, our media has become the laughing stock of the world.
andy mccabe who we know by inspector general horowitz lied at least 3 times under oath, has criminal referral pending against him and waiting for the grand jury in washington, d.c. to indict him and they don t disclose the information before he come on television, so as a guest on a television show they are trying to hold me to a different standard to own employees and i think there s a shame of it and that s why they didn t want to talk about it. i work with allison when she was here at fox, i don t think she s pretending to be a journalist, you go on cnn, you were going to get a hard time. you were combative, no question about it, chairman nadler says he s considering holding you in contempt of congress, nancy pelosi reported to have said she would have held you in contempt right there, your response? look, the house rules are the house rules and you can t hold me in contempt of congress right there and nancy pelosi acknowledges much later, i
