#1 At what point does this pass into the territory of reckless disregard with malicious intent?

They knew that this was not corroborated: it's their own journalists' book, which the NYT reviewed.

They knew that pumping up this story would feed other news organizations' hunger for slander, and that it would be picked up and run with by the Dem presidential candidates and possibly become fodder for impeachment talk.

They have obviously, clearly shown malice toward Kavanaugh from day one, slamming and smearing him relentlessly with baseless attacks on his character, his manner and demeanor, even his background.

When will this country's defamation lawyers step up and start suing this gutter press - formerly known as the "paper of record" - out of existence?

In a just world, every one of them should be shot; I'd settle for firings and a lifetime of mockery and shame, if they were they capable of the latter.

#6 The old Tobasco tagline: "You can tell a restrauntuer by the condiments he keeps." As soon as someone mentions the New York Slimes the conversation is over.

#7 $500,000,000.00 Soros funded, Clintom backed dark money group oschestrating the smear. That is the amount a libel suit should be for x 3 for punative damages.
