Text Messages Reveal NYT Reporter Told Kavanaugh Source What To Say

A Senate Judiciary Committee report revealed that New York Times reporter Robin Pogrebin coached sources on what to say and how to respond to her questions based on information she obtained, The Federalist reported.

Pogrebin, who went to Yale, used her connections to call up old classmates to get dirt on Kavanaugh.

Pogrebin made a bizarre and unsupported claim this week that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had told her to lie.

A 2018 text exchange between Karen Yarasavage and Kerry Berchem shows them discussing Deborah Ramirez's claim against Kavanaugh.

While in reality, the text exchanges show Berchem trying to get Yarasavage to say something supportive of Ramirez's claim, even though Yarasavage said she'd never even heard of any such incident and felt confident she would have if it had happened, the media characterized the discussions as evidence of Kavanaugh's guilt.

Pogrebin briefly discloses that she went to Yale University with Kavanaugh and Ramirez.

The text messages and the reporters' cherrypicking reveal the one thing conservatives have said all along: the mainstream media had it out from Kavanaugh from the get go.
