What would you command out of The Kavanaugh hearings? David Brooks, Opinion Columnist at The New York Times discusses the hearings between Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. According to David, the trial resulted in “what did or what did not happen 36 years ago.” David’s suggests there are no collaborating evidence to prove either party.
The primary audience are subscribers to The New York Times and those in Democratic or Republican Parties.
New York Times states, “David Brooks became an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times in September 2003. His column appears every Tuesday and Friday. He is currently a commentator on “PBS NewsHour,” NPR’s “All Things Considered” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” David has been working with The New York Times as an opinion columnist for over 15 years! With this fact in place, my trust towards David is high because of the data he presents.
David advocates us with the hearing results, “Sixty-nine percent of Americans in one poll called the hearings a “national disgrace,” and the only shocking thing is that there are 31 percent who don’t agree.” David delivers the hearing results along with his “shocking” reaction. It’s more clear that David embraces Christine over Brett.
In David’s view, “These hearings were also a devastating blow to intellectual humility. At the heart of this case is a mystery: What happened at that party 36 years ago? There is no corroborating evidence either way.” David gives us his ultimate opinion: there is no true result to solve this debate between Christine and Brett. David suggests that he isn’t on either side.
I began to discern that David was more on Christine’s side at the beginning of his article. However, toward the end, David gives impression that he is not on either side.
David’s suggests there are no collaborating evidence to prove either party. Overall, David is limited in his decision. This is due to lack of evidence that the hearing is unable to provide. I agree with David’s final decision because there isn’t evidence that can prove Christine and Brett’s side of the story.
