When You've Lost the San Francisco Chronicle...

The Leftmedia rag rebukes Dianne Feinstein for her despicable play on Kavanaugh.

As the media circus surrounding Brett Kavanaugh continues, remember two things: For the mainstream media, the 24/7 churn is all about advertising dollars. For Democrats, this fight is all about duping women voters, regardless of the dubious merits of the allegationsagainst Kavanaugh.

That said, we turn to the editorial board of a Leftmedia bastion — the San Francisco Chronicle — for a rebuke of California Democrat Dianne Feinstein’s despicably dirty play of a #MeToo dog whistle:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s treatment of a more than 3-decade-old sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was unfair all around. It was unfair to Kavanaugh, unfair to his accuser and unfair to Feinstein’s colleagues — Democrats and Republicans alike — on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Feinstein, a California Democrat, took the worst possible course by waiting until almost a week after Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was completed to ominously announce that she had turned over “information from an individual” about Kavanaugh to the FBI, and adding that she would be honoring the woman’s “strongly requested” confidentiality.

Feinstein has been around Washington long enough to know that her opaque statement guaranteed that the contents of the letter, sent by a Stanford law professor on behalf of the accuser, would be pursued and publicized in short order. And they were. …

In concealing the accusation she had received in July, according to reports, Feinstein did a disservice to her Judiciary Committee colleagues, who might have wanted to determine if corroborating accounts were available, or at least question Kavanaugh about the accusation in a closed session.

Instead, Feinstein’s colleagues were left in the dark.

I read about Dr Ford and her privileged life. Her claim is disgusting. Partied unsupervised at the age of 15 with alcohol at private homes. Vacationed with high school friends at local beaches - probably Rehoboth. Couldn't handle college because she was touched the wrong way. Really. Surgery after college. Lived in Silicone Valley. This was all stated in her interview with the Washington Post. Spoiled little rich girl until her parents forclosed on their million dollar Potomic home which Kavanaugh's mother was the judge. Not vindictive at all - makes my stomach sick.
