There are legitimate arguments to be made on both sides of this, but reporters going out of their way to mislead their readers should never be a factor.

That’s exactly the information in the original tweet. “After his accuser came out on Sunday, only TWO said they still stood by him. More than two dozen didn't respond, and two declined to comment.” How is that “misleading?”
-
Looks like it led
@tpovio exactly where the author wanted. -
It led me to understand over 2 dozen signers were contacted, 2 maintained support, over 2 dozen didn’t respond, and 2 declined to comment.
-
So if I leave you a voicemail and you don’t respond does that mean you changed your mind and pulled support? Or do you just not want to deal with the media and chose not to call the reporter back? Definitely a misleading article.

Refusing to go on record and make a supporting statement can be a statement itself.

Journalists are the real enemy of the American people.

Just for the record, journalists really aren’t the enemy but not everyone picks up sarcasm.

You were able to conclude exactly that from the post and yet you insist that it''s misleading? It says exactly the same thing as you did. Who's misleading whom?
-
Cap'ing the two and even mentioning it when the vast majority didn't want to talk to them signifies nothing, especially how many still stand by him.
-
Especially since most merely didn't "reply" to what sounds like a message on their answering machine. Which is probably getting swamped by calls from hundreds of journalists. So it's not surprising at all that they're not returning the call.
-
True. Doesn't even sound like they did not even give them a day to respond.

Having 65 women say he didn't rape them isn't proof in his favor anyway. I don't see why it matters. Brett Kavanaugh resisted raping most women is the defense?
-
exactly. it's stupid in the first place. so why spend time spinning misleading tales out of it in the first place?
-
Yeah, that's fair. I think they are answering one dishonest tactic with another.

I suspect that the declined to comment probably told him to do something to himself that would be hard to do anatomically
