If the events around Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford are any indication, the American news consumer - simply looking for facts presented in a nonpartisan manner - appears to be permanently screwed.
MSNBC goes heavy with a story affirming the allegations from Ford's classmate based on a Facebook post.
The classmate later admitted to not even knowing Ford or hearing a story firsthand.
NEW: A former schoolmate of Dr. Ford writes on social media that she recalls the alleged Kavanaugh assault incident being discussed at their school, but adds that she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser's claims.
For linking to a false news story that originated via Grabien News about Ford, who works as a college professor.
The story focused on the website, Ratemyprofessors.com, which included reviews on another professor named Christine Ford."Christine Ford is the worst educator I have experienced," one unnamed former student wrote on the website.
Many in media will echo the Democratic claim that the process was rushed without Ford being heard - despite Ford's refusal to testify until the FBI investigates the allegation.
