IN THE NEWS: BILL MAHER BURIES NY TIMES FOR BURYING KAVANAUGH ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: THEY WEAR THEIR BIAS ON THEIR SLEEVS

"Real Time" host Bill Maher lambasted The New York Times over its weak coverage of the assassination attempt of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh....Earlier this week, a man named Nicholas John Roske was arrested outside the justice's home carrying a gun and a knife. He admitted to police that he had traveled from California to Washington, D.C., to kill Kavanaugh because of his apparent intention to overturn Roe v. Wade following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion. Roske was charged with attempted murder.  However, the Times shrugged off the assassination attempt, keeping it off the front page, which drew ire on social media.  MORE HERE.
