Appearing on Thursday’s CBS This Morning ahead of the Senate hearing on Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor claimed that Ford’s unsubstantiated claims were “growing stronger” and touted how there was no longer a “presumption of innocence for the man” in such cases.

Kantor continued, and cheered the fact that Ford has “been greeted with enormous sympathy. The activism and show of support you’re gonna see from many women and men are see in the country today – ” King interjected: “He’s got support though, too, Jodi. Judge Kavanaugh.” Kantor brushed that aside: “He does, but I think the sort of presumption of innocence for the man who’s being accused, the idea that, you know, a meddlesome woman is interfering with his life and trying to bring him down has greatly change from the Anita Hill era.”
