Alleged journalist Katie Couric defends her strategic omission of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's remarks

Self-described journalist/reporter Katie Couric defended her selective editing out of an incredibly important statement made by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in an interview she had with RBG shortly before she died, much like Couric's journalistic credibility.

The fake news reporter appeared on the Today Show on Tuesday, saying that the media makes editorial decisions "all the time." This is especially the case with the legacy media when it comes to truths that conflict with their ideology, an ideology that is increasingly moving toward all out Marxism.

Couric admitted, in her new book that she selectively edited a 2016 interview with Ginsburg because she told her that she was critical of America hating scumbags like Colin Kaepernick who, while he still worked as a failed NFL quarterback, took "a knee" during the national anthem. The gesture, she said, showed “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.”

Ginsburg also did not approve of the protests against alleged police brutality and suggested they showed a lack of appreciation for the best America has to offer. 

So Couric edited those statements out of the book because, she claimed that she ‘wanted to protect’ Ginsburg and felt that the issue of racial justice was a ‘blind spot’ for her,” as the Daily Mail noted in their report.

Yeah, sure. Couric was covering for the Justice to protect her from their Marxist allies who didn't share those sentiments.

“Couric felt that when Ginsburg said that people like Kaepernick were ‘dumb and disrespectful’ they were comments that were ‘unworthy of a crusader for equality’ like the liberal Supreme Court justice,” the Daily Mail wrote. “The day after the sit-down, the head of public affairs for the Supreme Court emailed Couric to say the late justice had ‘misspoken’ and asked that it be removed from the story. Couric writes that she was ‘conflicted’ because she was a ‘big RBG fan’, referring to Ginsburg’s moniker.”

Ultimately, Couric says she contacted fellow journalist David Brooks, who suggested that Ginsburg “probably didn’t understand the question.” 

Sure, a Supreme Court Justice with a hundred and fifteen years of experience on the bench and in the SCOTUS, didn't understand Couric's question. What does that say about Ginsburg's judicial prudence and her consistent leftist decisions?

One thing for sure, the media has earned the public's distrust and the polls show it. Below are the numbers from a Gallop poll:

The left controls the narrative and that's why they hate conservative media and are doing all they can to silence them. Fox News, the Daily Wire and more to the right media such as OAN, Breitbart News and Newsmax are in the crosshairs of the left.

Fortunately for Brain Flushings, I don't have that problem, but if everyone subscribes who reads this blog then I would, and would look forward to the fight.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has her own #MeToo too

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg confessed that she, like many other women, had her own brush with sexual harassment and gender inequality.

Of the #MeToo movement the 84-year-old Brooklynite said: "It's about time."

"Every woman of my vintage knows what sexual harassment is, although we didn't have a name for it," the elderly SCOTUS liberal told a crowd during a forum to promote her new documentary "RBG" at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday. "The attitude toward sexual harassment was simply, 'Get past it. Boys will be boys.'"

Ginsburg told NPR's legal correspondent and longtime liberal friend Nina Totenberg, about an incident that she said occurred when she was a law student at Cornell University in the early 1950s, before most people were born.

Ginsburg spoke about her concerns with her chemistry teacher over her "abilities" ahead of an important exam. He comforted her and told her he'd give her a practice exam to make her more comfortable with the test.

"The next day--on the test--the test is the practice exam. And I knew exactly what he wanted in return," Ginsburg claimed. "That's just one of many examples," she added, without actually giving an example of what happened.

But Ginsburg refused to slough off the professor's inappropriate unexplained gesture. After the exam, she walked straight up to him and confronted him, she said.

"I went to his office and I said, 'How dare you! How dare you, you--" she said without clarifying what the end of her sentence was. "And that was the end of that."

When Ginsburg taught at Rutgers Law School in 1964, she quickly saw how she was treated differently than her male colleagues. 

Because Rutgers was a state school in New Jersey, she knew she'd be taking a pay cut, but when the dean told her how big a cut, she was mortified. She asked a male colleague who had graduated from law school about the same time as her what he was being paid and the difference was quite substantial.

"Ruth, he has a wife and two children to support. You have a husband with a good paying job in New York," the dean responded.

That was the very year the Equal Pay Act had passed," Ginsburg said. "That was the answer that I got."

So the Women's March on Saturday was never about equal pay and equal rights for women--it's now law, just like protection from harassment in the workplace is law. 

The Women's March was actually an anti-Trump march because that's the main issue women really care about.
