Bill Maher Slams New York Times for Burying Attempted Murder of Kavanaugh

Friday, Bill Maher in Real Time the HBO host agreed with Kellyanne Conway that the attempted murder this week of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was proof of media bias. 

The New York Times This story is now on page 20. It would have been prominent if this had been an innocent Supreme Court justice who was killed by a liberal, but it is not part of our story. We bury it.

Conway stated that Supreme Court justices should be kept safe, but it was a sad fact. Maher recognized that liberals frequently blame conservative rhetoric in shootings. However, he said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had backtracked his threat to Kavanaugh.

In March 2020, Schumer warned “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.”

MAHER: OK, 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. It was obvious to me. He did. He stated that he was from Brooklyn and that he spoke too strongly. He spoke about the fact that Brett Kavanaugh was going to be overturned. Roe Vs. Wade Okay? It’s interesting that he became upset at his lack of gun control measures and came to the police with guns in order to kill him. Again, cuckoos do cuckoo stuff. Okay. Okay. The New York Times You can find this here.

JOSH BARO: It was just a little thing under the fold.

CONWAY: A-20.

MAHER: This would have been prominent if it had been an liberal Supreme Court Justice that was raped to death. [Applause]That’s the thing that makes a paper such as this so disappointing The New York Times.They wear their biases on their sleeves, and if they don’t believe it feeds their narrative, they bury them.

It Times On Friday, a second story was published about how the House debated a bill that had been passed in the Senate and which would provide more protection to Supreme Court justices. It was published in page A-23.
