Sorry, friend. Nina has lost a ton of respect after this debacle. And, credibility. And, NPR's effort to double down on a verifiably false story discredits their whole organization. And, I have no clue why you decided to bring up Fox, other than you view this ridiculous fake news as an opportunity to slam a network you don't like. |
The story has not been verified as false. For the millionth time, the justices' statements do not contradict what NPR reported. |
How do you double down when the principles involve deny the report? That’s the definition of insanity and is this petty partisan bullsh*t what we want our Supreme Court justices to be dealing with? |
Gorsuch brought the "petty partisan bullshit" on himself when he chose to use the GOP epithet "Democrat judge" in his confirmation hearing when referring to a lower court colleague. It was his bat signal to the base that all is good. |
So, do you think this was Nina Totenberg's motivation in writing a hit piece on the Supreme Court? Because he referred to someone as a Democrat? |
More hyperbole. |
They deny something, not the precise words of the report. They are very talented jurists and lawyers (many of them, some are straight hacks). “We deny the report in its entirety” is what you are hearing, but it’s not what they are saying. |
+1 Nina Totenberg hasn’t lost any respect except in the eyes of right wingers who, let’s be honest, think anyone to the left of Sean Hannity should be removed from society. |
Sure. But then why force them to spend hours together? |
No clue? FOX verifiably lies far more frequently and far more egregiously than NPR does. That's why. Pretending to care about respect and journalistic integrity is a complete joke if you're going to try and shield FOX. |
Once again... this story has nothing to do with Fox. You are deflecting. This thread is about a reporter from NPR who wrote a hit piece that turned out to be false. |
Sorry - I'm taking the word of three of the best legal minds in our country over some reporter. YMMV. |
+100 The whataboutism is typical and pathetic. They can't bring themselves to admit they were flat-out wrong about this story; instead, they double-down and pivot to accusing Fox of lying. The reaction from LWNJs regarding this fake story is so telling. |
| Why doesn’t justice sotomayir retire if he health is so frail and while we still have a Democratic President? Hasn’t she learned from RBG? |
DP. That's exactly what they're saying. All three of them. It's just not what you want to hear. So disappointing to be caught in YET ANOTHER fake news story, amirite? |
