NYT/Kavanaugh: How many times do we have to see the same M.O. to recognize it and call it out? [View all]

George W Bush went AWOL for the TANG (Texas air national guard) to avoid a piss test
but "they" changed the subject to Dan Rather and the phony memo.

Trump got large sums of Russian money from Deutcshe's Bank when nobody else would
lend him a dime but "they" changed the subject to Lawrence O'Donnell's source.

Many many credible cases have come out about Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulting
women and heavy drinking but now "they" have changed the story to the NYT.
