The Media Covered for Michael Avenatti and Helped Him Push Stories They Knew Were False

Yesterday, TIME magazine released a profile of virtually bankrupt and evicted Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti.

Wasn't this relevant when he was fluffing the Julie Swetnick story during all of his 65 or so appearances on CNN? There is even more evidence of the media covering for Avenatti so long as he was useful in the character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh.

Less than 48 hours before Avenatti released her sworn statement on Twitter, the same woman told NBC News a different story.

Referring to Kavanaugh spiking the punch, "I didn't ever think it was Brett," the woman said to reporters in a phone interview arranged by Avenatti on Sept. 30 after repeated requests to speak with other witnesses who might corroborate Swetnick's claims.

I say they knew the stories were false because you can't give an interview to multiple reporters on September 30 refuting a critical allegation in a sworn statement and believe that several days later that the #MeToo industrial complex at The New Yorker and Newsweek's reporters didn't know.

After reviewing the statement, she wrote in a text on Oct. 4 to NBC News: "It is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punchI was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one."

At no time did NBC ever run a story refuting scurrilous allegations they a) knew to be false and b) knew were being bandied about by their media colleagues.
