Political commentator and comedian Bill Maher called out The New York Times
Friday night for burying the story on the alleged assassination plot against
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Maher made his comments about the leftist newspaper during a panel discussion
with former President Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, activist Cornel
West, and journalist Josh Barro on his show "Real Time with Bill Maher."

"The New York Times buried this," Maher said. "If this had been a liberal
Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, it would have been on the
front page. And that's what's so disappointing about a paper like The New
York Times, because they just wear their bias on their sleeves and they - `if
it's not part of something that feeds our narrative, f*** it. We bury it.'"

Maher's criticism of the Times comes after several newspapers buried stories
on Kavanaugh's alleged would-be assassin. "Conservatives on social media were
quick to point out Thursday morning that the front pages of the print
editions of the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and USA
Today did not highlight the incident above the fold or did not include the
story at all," The Daily Wire previously reported.

Both the Times and the Chicago Tribune focused on the January 6 hearings as
their biggest stories, while USA Today's featured story was on the families
and survivors of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.

The Times mentioned the alleged Kavanaugh assassination plot in small font at
the bottom of the front page, which simply read, "Arrest Near Home of
Justice."

On Wednesday, 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske was arrested outside of
Kavanaugh's home and charged with attempted murder of a federal judge,
according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Roske was reportedly upset with
the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade and Kavanaugh's stance on the Second
Amendment.

According to the affidavit, Roske found Kavanaugh's address online, and
brought a gun and burglary tools with him to allegedly kill the justice.

"Roske stated that he began thinking about how to give his life a purpose and
decided that he would kill the Supreme Court Justice after finding the
Justice's Montgomery County address on the Internet," a DOJ affidavit said.
"Roske further indicated that he had purchased the Glock pistol and other
items for the purpose of breaking into the Justice's residence and killing
the Justice as well as himself."

But wait! That can't be. "A Friend" has assured us the media acted in a
completely professional and unbiased way regarding this story.

The "Summit of the Americas" was just held in the U.S. for the first time
since 1994, with Biden as host, and it was boycotted by the leaders of Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, and El Salvador. Biden was also excoriated at
the summit by the leaders of Argentina and Belize. This also seems vastly
under-reported.

Any time there was some diplomatic snafu under Trump, the corporate media
punditocracy screamed that he was destroying long-established U.S. alliances
and international order. Meanwhile, huge swaths of America's own hemisphere
just sided with Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua in rebuke of Biden.

Biden blocked the attendance of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua because they're
"not democracies"-- leading the Mexican president to boycott the summit in
protest. Amusingly, the left-wing Mexican president had a demonstrably better
relationship with Trump.

Simultaneously as Biden was retributively blocking the ability of Cuba,
Venezuela, and Nicaragua to attend a largely symbolic international meeting,
he was planning his big upcoming trip to supplicate Saudi Arabia-- which is
famously a bastion of democracy.

The story being "sat on" wasn't the claim. Nice try, though.

Wow. That was clever.

I do love the bit about "conservatives on social media," which is
shorthand for jerks who routinely get into online feeding frenzies over
nothing. In this case, a delusional nutjob tried to "get" Kavanaugh
and was easily stopped. This attack was, despite your biased and
willful blindness, widely reported.

Anybody who thinks this story was sat on is either insane or
delusional. Take your pick.

That is exactly the claim being made.

"'Conservatives on social media were quick to point out Thursday
morning that the front pages of the print editions of the New York
Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and USA Today did not
highlight the incident above the fold or did not include the story at
all,' The Daily Wire previously reported."

So ... insane or delusional?

"Did not highlight" /= "sat on"

And, in fact, HE HIMSELF called 911 asking for help.

In other words an odorless, greasless, meatless, nothingburger.

Oh, and let's not forget the asshole (no, I won't repeat his name),
who went to a NJ Federal judge's home, mudered her son and wounded
her husband (she was not hurt) also had a list suggesting he
was also heading to Justice Sotomoyer.

Not one mention of the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett
Kavanaugh on ABC's THIS WEEK, but they had plenty of time to interview White
House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre on her "LGBTQ identity".
