Grassley knocks press for 'bias' in Kavanaugh reporting [View all]

GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) knocked reporters on Thursday by saying media showed bias in covering Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

"Now I would never use the word 'fake news.' I consider you folks the policemen for our Democratic system of government. But I want to show you where some of you have bias," Grassley told reporters.




Grassley noted that he had protestors in his office over the past few weeks from both sides of the Supreme Court fight but reporters had only wanted to interview anti-Kavanaugh protestors.

"I've had demonstrators in my office for two weeks now ... and one time the people that were for Kavanaugh wanted to be interviewed and they said we're only interested in interviewing people against Kavanaugh," Grassley told reporters.

Grassley reminds one of the old man in the neighborhood who's always yelling at kids to stay off his lawn.
