Wow this is hilariously shitty of @JaneMayerNYer. She embraces so many tropes throughout this piece that she used to try to destroy Kavanaugh. Let's dig into just a few:
Building sympathy for the affected man. "He had thought they were on friendly terms." That's pretty damn generous of her. Did she ever consider writing that about Kavanaugh? Don't think so. 
Oh, @JaneMayerNYer, he says it's "just not true"? Oh wow, guess that settles that! And he doesn't remember her being upset. Hmm. Wonder if there was another guy who didn't remember something happening? Did you give it such credence back then?
Awwwww @JaneMayerNYer that's so nice!! He's devoted to his wife. That's so cute. I'm sure you used nice quotes about Kavanaugh's wife to defend him, right?
And @JaneMayerNYer, you definitely used quotes from Kavanaugh's friends in a positive light about how he was goofing around. All in jest!
"No one ever complained!" Well gee @JaneMayerNYer, that settles that!
Not in Kavanaugh's case though.
Not in Kavanaugh's case though.
Oooooo yum @JaneMayerNYer, the celebrity whataboutism is delicious!
And in a brilliant finishing move @JaneMayerNYer quotes the lawyer who built an entire case around the goal of ruining a man's life on unsubstantiated allegations.
In short, @JaneMayerNYer should be ashamed that her name is attached to this piece. But if this is her turning over a new leaf in terms of not breathlessly covering baseless allegations, I guess there's some positive aspects to it.
Also, thanks to @EsotericCD for tweeting about this story and bringing this hackery into the open and inspiring my thread.
