New York Times' botched Kavanaugh story the latest in series of blunders from Opinion section

15. This is why I avoid political conversations with family members

And if I'm cornered, I keep it to simple moral arguments and avoid any situation that leads people to cherry pick facts. If they insist, I demand they provide their facts in the clear with full context. If they fail that simple metric, I remove myself from the conversation. If they follow me, I thank my host, tell them why I'm leaving, and I leave w/out further discussion.

These conversations are always about spin and social engineering loved ones. I find that distasteful.

Trust me, don't engage with zealots.
