Margaret Sullivan: Press coverage of Kavanaugh is imperfect. But imagine if we didn’t have it.

As the Brett Kavanaugh nomination turmoil rages on, the mainstream press is under fire. And not just from the predictable right.

Jeff Greenfield, the former CBS correspondent, described some of the news media Sunday as slanted against President Donald Trump and Kavanaugh — “a kind of resistance.”

Two Columbia Journalism Review writers deplored the "media bullying" of Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault.

And the social-media world went on the attack when the New York Times opinion section published (and then deleted) an insensitive Twitter poll on whether Ford was credible.
