Here is Nancy Pelosi describing established Democratic smear tactics, colluding with the liberal Press.

Former Speaker Pelosi: "The Republicans don’t want the voters to see that contrast, so they focus on something else."

"It’s a diversionary tactic. It’s a self-fulfilling prophesy. You demonize them. We call it the wrap-up smear . . . You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest and then you merchandise it."

"And then you [speaking to the press] write it, and they’ll say, see it’s reported in the press . . . so they have that validation, that the press reported the smear, and then it’s called the ‘wrap-up smear.’"

"And now I’m going to merchandize the press’s report on the smear that we made. [Shrugging and smirking] It’s a tactic. And it’s, it’s self-evident."

There you have it folks. Caught on video. Let's see how it works.

Demonize Kavanaugh, check.
Smear somebody with falsehoods “and all the rest,” check.
Merchandize falsehoods-based smear, check.
Get press to report falsehoods-based smear, check.
Merchandize “validation” of press reports on falsehoods-based smear, check.

And posters here wonder why I say real journalism is dying, and the Democratic Party is totally corrupt.
