I figured we needed a thread specifically about the media.

There was a very big correction recently by the Washington Post.


That story was supposedly "independently confirmed" by CNN, NBC News, USA Today, ABC News, & PBS News Hour. How could they all have gotten the quote wrong if they actually independently confirmed the story?






Why do all the errors always go in one political direction and not closer to 50/50?

Still waiting for any acknowledgment of any sort from SFL that the shameless GOP members of Congress violated her privacy.

They didn't violate her privacy. She was getting confirmed. What information should someone be able to hide during a congressional confirmation hearing?

You still haven’t looked up expunged have you? Come on, educate yourself.

I have an expunged record.

I had it removed when I was 22.

If you go on my criminal record nothing is there.

However, if you broke the law and searched the police databases without a warrant you would find that I had committed it through police records and court filings.

In other words, the only way they found this woman's record was through an illegal search of the database. Which is a much larger crime than the one she had expunged.

For someone who pretends to care about people's privacy you either are lying or are so ignorant of the law it must hurt your head.

That would explain all the nonsense here btw.

And even after this has pointed out to him multiple times, he still doubles down on his error. Kind of tells you everything about him, rather than anything about her.

It was expunged from her record, but it doesn't change the fact that she was arrested for violence. She lied I'm her confirmation hearing.

And? Try having a point someday. Flooding the board with non-stop bullschlitz that is either opinion or has been debunked while claiming that said flooding is fact is more than annoying. It underscores that your false god has succeeded in the destruction of what Jefferson held in high esteem.

Actually, in a legal sense, she has never been arrested. That's what expunged means.

She wasn’t convicted, IIRC. She isn’t required to disclose this type of record if it has been expunged. You are only required to disclose expunged convictions if they impact the job you are applying for.

This is what I found with a 30 second Google search.

Applying for a job is quite different than being confirmed by Congress. What information should someone be able to keep from Congress during a confirmation hearing?

I'm well aware that it's been expunged from her record, but it doesn't change the fact she lied about it in her confirmation hearing.

How hard would it have been to say I have been arrested for violence one time, but it was expunged from my record?

 

[MT15]

Sigh. That collection of files that was brought to the NY Post by Giuliani, Bannon and Stone does quite possibly contain Russian disinformation.

That’s a legal question - and neither you nor I know the exact answer to it. Arrests are expunged because they were a mistake, normally, and disclosure of them will wrongfully impact that person’s future employment or quality of life. Her arrest had nothing to do with her ability to do that job, it was a mistake that didn’t result in her being charged. I don’t blame her for treating it as if it didn’t happen.

What I find fascinating is that you, who say you care a lot about a person’s right to privacy, don’t think she’s entitled to any privacy over this?

If the members of Congress had questions about an expunged arrest, why not avail themselves of the opportunity to discuss this in their private interviews with the nominee? Why lay a trap and spring it on her during open session? Seems they don’t care about what happened, they only wanted to play politics with it and don’t care who gets their privacy invaded because of it.

It was disgusting.

 

[MT15]

Once again, from what I could find, she was arrested, not convicted, and so didn’t have to disclose an expunged arrest. GOP were butt crevasses for bringing it up in public. They had ample opportunity to ask her in the private interviews if they had any questions about it at all. But instead they violated her privacy in this matter shamelessly. And SFL doesn’t give a single shirt about privacy in her case. I wonder why? Oh, it’s because she isn’t MAGA and so he doesn’t care. If she were MAGA he’d be in here gnashing his teeth about her right to privacy.

Is this still in question? I figured @SaintForLife figured out how to use the Google machine by now! Here's what I found from google search for "expungement"...2nd result:

The enlarge and bolded are the pertinent text.
Now, I know that's Louisiana law, but C'mon man, it's LOUISIANA law and I'm certain that there are at least 40 other states in the union with stronger protections.

CNN should not be trusted for honest legal analysis after featuring Honig and another guy who I have forgotten his name. They were / are in the bag for Trump and were called out for lying on air about Trump’s case.

 

[MT15]

There are no ethical reporters left at Fox News. You can call it a wrap.

 

[MT15]

CNN has taken a lurch toward the GOP. This comes from management.
