NY Times tries to bury the Kavanaugh assassination attempt

 PJ Media:

“If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill,” Maher declared, “it would’ve been on the front page,” but “if it’s not part of something that feeds our narrative, f**k it, we bury it.” The New York Times did exactly that: its story on the Kavanaugh assassination attempt appeared in the paper’s print edition on page A20.

In conversation with Conway, Maher recalled the infamous words of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-Sinister) in March 2020: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Referring to the would-be murderer of Kavanaugh, Maher remarked:

Okay, and they stopped him. Okay? But he was, he’s from California, Chuck Schumer said some very inflammatory words, the kind of thing that people on the right to say and there’s a horrible shooting and they blame it — it is rather comparable. And Chuck Schumer did walk it back, nobody on the right ever does that — he did. I saw this. He did. He said “we’re from Brooklyn, we speak too strongly.” He said something about how — they were talking about, this guy was upset that Brett Kavanaugh is going to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Okay? And, interesting he was upset that he wasn’t doing enough to gun control and shows up with guns to kill him. So again, cuckoo people do cuckoo things. Okay. The point is — I think your point and the point I would agree with is The New York Times buried this this.

Maher did compare Schumer favorably to unnamed right-wingers who supposedly never walk back their incendiary statements, but still, it was remarkable enough that Maher even dared to link Schumer’s words to the attempt on Kavanaugh’s life and to acknowledge that there could be a connection. This kind of clarity rarely, if ever, comes from Leftists.

Another guest on Maher’s show, podcaster John Barro, then said: “Yeah, it was a tiny thing below the fold.” Conway specified: “A-20.” And then Maher actually called out the New York Times for its nakedly Leftist political agenda: “If this had been a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would’ve been on the front page.” Apparently a crowd of OAN watchers had been bused in to watch Maher’s show Friday night: the audience applauded that line. Encouraged, Maher continued: “And that’s what so disappointing about a paper like The New York Times. Because they wear their bias on their sleeves and if it’s not part of something that feeds our narrative, f**k it, we bury it.”

This is just one aspect the left's bias against conservative justices who do not embrace the liberal approach to birth controls after the fetus is formed.
