Max Boot has thoughts on the New York Times’ Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, everybody:

Here it is:

Trump is the smear artist — not the New York Times, writes @MaxBoot https://t.co/uzmxRTHmU6 — Washington Post Opinions (@PostOpinions) September 19, 2019

If the @nytimes is intent on smearing Kavanaugh, it is doing a pretty poor job of it—given that a book by two of its reporters contains the evidence that his supporters are using (possibly prematurely) to exonerate him. My @PostOpinions column: https://t.co/yzHk5FGuJU — Max Boot (@MaxBoot) September 19, 2019

.@nytimes screwed up, and so did all of the Dems who jumped to call for Kavanaugh’s impeachment. But the Times’ misstep hardly warrants the amount of hyperbolic criticism it has received from Trump and the right-wing media industrial complex.

You can set your watch by this clownery.

"The Times' screwup of its Kavanaugh 'bombshell' is no biggie because Trump is the real problem" is a caricature of a Max Boot column. Which is why it's so weird to see his name on it. https://t.co/E4pks0d8ma — Varad Mehta (@varadmehta) September 19, 2019

"That the Times published a poorly edited article that it was then forced to clarify is a minor scandal. What’s far worse is that the president and his followers are waging war on the truth — and on the truth-tellers in the media." Galactic cluelessness. https://t.co/33RNfwH4Wl — Varad Mehta (@varadmehta) September 19, 2019

And look who’s helping Max spread the word:

"Actually, the mainstream media are infinitely more honest than Trump and his henchmen," writes @maxboot of the @nytimes and other news organizations https://t.co/7ZadeZpiiq — Kate Kelly (@katekelly) September 19, 2019

Hell of an endorsement, Max.

I guess we’re just retweeting this one for balance. https://t.co/tTFa6OzIB9 — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) September 19, 2019

Robin Pogrebin hasn’t tweeted it out yet, but we’re confident she’ll get around to it. After all, hacks of a feather gots to stick together.

Isn’t that special?

Washington Examiner Magazine deputy editor Grant Addison bravely waded through Boot’s drivel to tease out some of the choicest bits:

lmao you just know he thinks this is airtight logic pic.twitter.com/2IBXr1FGFd — Grant Addison (@jgrantaddison) September 19, 2019

I know he intends a copy-paste "But Trump" justification, but his invitation to "compare the reckless disregard for truth" by the Times with that of Trump doesn't exactly help his case. Incompetence? Dishonest cherry picking? Willful disregard of context? Check, check, and check. pic.twitter.com/TrJj768x49 — Grant Addison (@jgrantaddison) September 19, 2019

Reminder that this is the same empty hat that slandered NR & Dan McLaughlin in print based on a piece he clearly didn't read and then refused to apologize or recant. pic.twitter.com/cJW2kxAQkq — Grant Addison (@jgrantaddison) September 19, 2019

When’s someone gonna give Max the boot? He’s clearly way past his expiration date.

Methinks maybe Maximum Bootlicker should take off the fedora in order to restore the blood flow to his brain. https://t.co/33RNfwH4Wl — Varad Mehta (@varadmehta) September 19, 2019

You caterwaul at every Trump misstep and error. It does warrant the criticism. If the NYT wants grace, they (and you) should give it. And no I didn't vote for Trump so pound sand on that point pilers on. 🙂 — Troy Hinrichs (@YourmanGodfrey) September 19, 2019

The Times didn't have a misstep, you incompetent ass. It was completely a failed character assassination attempt trying to accomplish one more victim of cancel culture. — EndtheFed (@FedEndthe) September 19, 2019

When did being more honest than Trump become an accomplishment? lol A used car salesman is way more honest than Trump, doesn't mean they are honest. — Bonemasher (@Bonemasher) September 19, 2019
