Perhaps it's because editors fear Kavanaugh will overturn the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide.
Perhaps reporters fear Kavanaugh will push any number of conservative issues while on the court.
"Accuser's schoolmate says she recalls hearing of alleged Kavanaugh incident," NBC News trumpeted on Wednesday and Thursday.
The casual reader would believe that someone had corroborated the accusation against Kavanaugh.
It's not until the 10th paragraph of the story that Guardian readers are told, "There is no allegation that the female students who worked for Kavanaugh were chosen because of their physical appearance or that they were not qualified."
Audiences are left instead with the impression that Kavanaugh was somehow admitting bad behavior.
The one thing these reports and misleading tweets all have in common is that they cast Kavanaugh in a bad light.
