THE WAYWARD PRESS – AT 11:48 A.M. ET:  That's the phrase the press critic A.J. Liebling used to describe American journalism, in the forties and fifties.  I wonder what he'd think today, as we watch some news organizations, like CNN, actively agitating to bring down Judge Kavanaugh. 

The American people are making up their minds about the press coverage, as Rasmussen reports: 

Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation has been top news for weeks, but voters don’t think the media is trying to do him any favors.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters think when most reporters write or talk about Kavanaugh, they are trying to defeat his confirmation.

Just eight percent (8%) think most reporters are trying to help Kavanaugh win the Senate confirmation, while 37% think most reporters are simply interested in reporting the news in an unbiased manner.

COMMENT:  That's a devastating indictment.  A backlash against the left-oriented press is building.  It is long overdue. 

Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night so-called comedian, joked about cutting off Kavanaugh's male member.  Why is he still on the air?  In a better time he'd have been off in half a second.

The media is a mess.  Only public pressure, and a couple of well-publicized lawsuits, will improve it.
