"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.

If all these people in power only spoke the truth there would be no need for real journalists. Real journalism is not simply taking the word of those in power, it is about finding the truth when they are trying to lie to you.
