NBC Held Info On Kavanaugh Accuser

Sat on it pretty much since Avenatti claimed he had some corroborating witnesses. But please someone justify sitting on this info
What was the info withheld? I didn't read the article too carefully, but I didn't see where it stated what info was withheld. Hell, it could be something that wasn't news worthy - like she ate a peanut butter sandwich before she went to the party. Just would be good to know before drawing the conclusion they were hiding evidence.
BTW, I'm not making excuses for NBC. Wouldn't surprise me if they were holding important info.

Avenattis corroborating witness claimed to nbc that she didn’t see Kavanaugh spiking punch, she didn’t meet Swetnick until they were in their 30s and that Avenatti twisted her words
If I read it right, she claimed both ways within an hour, and NBC was also upfront there were inconsistencies. It's a tricky line: where do you balance inconsistencies against a pretty damn important Congressional decision?
I believe he teenaged manhandled Dr. Ford. And I still believe that is not enough of a disqualifier....while his unhinged testimony should have been.
It’s the job of the press to report all information without regard to who it benefits. This should be their only obligation and it should always be served. If the information was conflicting and changed, that’s how it should be presented.
All of this comes back to my mantra that ideological allegiance is the great obscurer of the truth. The media on both sides filters and conceals in order to present the image that validates their own worldview. And those who are ideologically bent seek out information that makes their previously held beliefs justifiable in their minds.
Just look at the recent events on this board. When the mail bombs were being reported, there was absolutely no way that any person could pin this on either side. There just wasn’t enough information. But of course like lemmings each side marched lockstep with their beliefs and even made predictions without evidence. So after the dust of egos and cocksure predictions settled, we have people arguing over silly bets and self imposed hiatuses. If it weren’t so ridiculous it would be hilarious.
And for what? To be right? It just seems to me that not marrying yourself to a belief system that elevates the importance of the outcome would be the most efficient way to find the truth. But I doubt the truth is what you want. The victory over your ideological opponent and the proceeding victory dance has taken precedence over your need for the truth.
You’d be surprised how liberating not being invested in the outcome can be.

Always a matter of time.
Are you suggesting that ideology didn’t play into the predictions of which side the mail dud bomber was on?
I thought it could go either way, I found it odd that the packages were only targeting Democrats, I thought the sender was going to try to throw off the investigators by sending a handful to Republicans.Always a matter of time.
