In the alluvia of analysis and opinions which followed President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, NBC New's Katy Tur attempted to ask an insightful question.
Aside from the liberal assumption embedded in the inquiry, Tur operated with an egregious error. The Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 not 1776. It seems that Little Katy did not grow up watching Schoolhouse Rock.
Maybe she should review the lesson as she might learn something.
That simple mistake really costs her credibility. So often we are inclined to impart wisdom on the pundits who pontificate on television. If they get a basic civics fact wrong, why should we listen to them?
Although Katy Tur was awarded the 2017 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism, I think it's Unbelievable (sic). That may be the title of her book with her year covering Donald Trump, but now I know better how to analyze her reportage: Progressive, propagandistic, polemic and nescient.
