Marcus \u200cfinds Alito&#8217;s actions &#8220;unseemly\u2064 and unsettling,&#8221;\u2063 suggesting they compromise\u2064 his neutrality\u200b as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-senate-judiciary-committee-confirms-amy-coney-barrett-for-supreme-court-democrats-boycott-committee-vote\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Committee Confirms Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court -- Democrats Boycott Committee Vote\">justice<\/a>. However, her criticism is hypocritical\u2062 and lacks \u200csubstance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There is \u200dsomething unseemly and unsettling about Alito\u2019s repeated use of\u200c the \u2062Journal\u2063 \u2014 part therapy\u2062 couch, part bullhorn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on the other hand,\u2063 had a close relationship with Nina Totenberg, NPR&#8217;s \u2063Supreme Court correspondent. Ginsburg frequently gave interviews to Totenberg, discussing her life, jurisprudence, and promoting\u200b her \u2063books. Totenberg even provided Ginsburg with \u200cinterview questions in advance. These \u200binterviews seem to fit the description of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ruth-marcus-alito-attack-is-grossly-hypocritical-considering-her-endorsement-of-nina-totenbergs-work\/\" title=\"Ruth Marcus' criticism of Alito is hypocritical given her support for Totenberg's work.\">part therapy couch<\/a>, part bullhorn&#8221; more than Alito&#8217;s op-eds.<\/p>\n<h3>The Double Standard<\/h3>\n<p>Despite Ginsburg&#8217;s close ties with Totenberg, Marcus shows no concern for the ethical implications. In fact, she provided a glowing blurb\u2062 for Totenberg&#8217;s book, praising their friendship. This double \u2063standard in journalism is concerning \u200band reveals\u200d a bias against conservative justices.<\/p>\n<h3>Revelations\u2062 from \u200bTotenberg&#8217;s Book<\/h3>\n<p>Totenberg&#8217;s book uncovers even more about her relationship with Ginsburg. They were deeply intertwined in each other&#8217;s lives for nearly fifty years. Ginsburg&#8217;s husband,\u2062 Marty, asked Totenberg \u2063to contribute to a birthday album for RBG, and Ginsburg even officiated Totenberg&#8217;s second\u2064 wedding. Ginsburg consistently extended invitations and support to Totenberg, creating a bond\u200c that went beyond a professional relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2063Totenberg had insights \u200binto \u200cGinsburg&#8217;s \u200chealth that she did not disclose to the \u2062public. She cut \u2063short an interview because she \u2063sensed something was wrong with Ginsburg, and her husband supervised a \u200cbiopsy that revealed Ginsburg&#8217;s cancerous tumors. Totenberg also implies that Ginsburg shared confidential information from \u2064the justices&#8217;\u200d conferences with her.<\/p>\n<h3>The Selective Outrage<\/h3>\n<p>Marcus&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/according-to-joe-bidens-standards-joe-biden-should-be-canceled\/\" title=\"According To Joe Biden\u2019s Standards\u2026 Joe Biden Should Be Canceled\">selective outrage<\/a> \u200cis evident in her praise for Totenberg&#8217;s book while criticizing Alito&#8217;s defense in The Wall Street Journal. This bias undermines the public&#8217;s trust\u200d in the Supreme Court\u2062 and highlights the rot in American journalism. It is essential to call out this dangerous propaganda and hold journalists accountable\u200d for their double standards.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Post Editor Ruth Marcus slammed Justice Samuel Alito for daring to defend himself through interviews and an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.
