Christine Blasey Ford offered what they name “no proof” to again up her 2018 declare that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her once they had been youngsters. Kavanaugh fiercely denied the cost. Her “witnesses” did not see it her manner. However CBS and ABC and NPR have offered sappy publicity for her new guide – which supplies no new proof of her story.
Interviewers sympathetically requested why she would undergo this “trauma” once more — ignoring that there was cash to be made. Ford claimed this was for all the opposite victims.Ford’s new guide is printed by St. Martin’s Press….which is identical Manhattan writer that issued E. Jean Carroll’s guide What Do We Want Males For?, the 2019 guide the place she accused Donald Trump of sexual assault in a division retailer, solely she could not keep in mind which yr it occurred. No reporter asks concerning the payout.
When ladies accuse Democrats of sexual assault — as Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick did in opposition to Invoice Clinton — they discovered no guide offers. Kathleen Willey authored a guide for World Web Every day books. The key publishers at Manhattan aren’t .
In each venue, interviewers did not ask Ford how she perceived the opposite accusers of Justice Kavanaugh, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick. The media imagine Ford is essentially the most believable accuser, so the others are buried previously.
At the very least CBS reporter Tracy Smith provided a number of seconds of steadiness by displaying the 2018 testimony of each Ford and Kavanaugh. Smith additionally will get credit score for urgent Ford with the Kavanaugh camp’s pushback — that nobody in that teenage circle recollects this celebration she’s speaking about.
NPR sucks. CBS ‘Sunday Morning’ interviewed Christine Blasey Ford, aired Kavanaugh’s denials of her unproven intercourse assault claims. CBS’s Tracy Smith underlines nobody recollects that evening as she does. NPR aired two Ford interviews and there was no pushback on her story. In any respect. pic.twitter.com/jRaN2to7Td

Nationwide “Public” Radio didn’t current any Kavanaugh soundbites of denial. Morning Version co-host Michel Martin talked about in the beginning that Kavanaugh “vehemently denied” the accusation. On Contemporary Air with Terry Gross, Gross by no means talked about Kavanaugh’s denials. She started by warning “As a heads as much as our listeners, the introduction I am about to present describes a sexual assault.” Not an “alleged assault.” Gross requested: “How did you write your guide with out retraumatizing your self?” Ford replied “I did retraumatize myself.” This interview lasted for nearly an hour (together with the promotional breaks).
ABC’s The View additionally celebrated Ford for her nice “braveness.” Donald Trump sued ABC Information this week and their Sunday host George Stephanopoulos for claiming a jury held Trump “accountable for rape.” (That is not correct.)
