I don't think this post has any real addition to the conversation.
Also, having reviewed the testimony, I question the results here (just a repost from the Vox - where the link should probably point). Many of Ford's "Answers" were really just dodges to question(s)[1].
Also, the stuff linked in the Vox (where it's claimed Kavanaugh isn't answering is just false...
First example I clicked:
FEINSTEIN: All three of these women have asked the FBI to investigate their claims. I listened carefully to what you said. Your concern is evident and clear. And if you’re very confident of your position, and you appear to be, why aren’t you also asking the FBI to investigate these claims?
KAVANAUGH: Senator, I’ll do whatever the committee wants. I wanted a hearing the day after the allegation came up. I wanted to be here that day. Instead, 10 days passed where all this nonsense is coming out, you know, that I’m in gangs, I’m on boats in Rhode Island, I’m in Colorado, you know, I’m sighted (ph) all over the place. And these things are printed and run, breathlessly (ph) by cable news.
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I don't think this post belongs here. There certainly isn't any lack of coverage.

I dislike the tone of this post, but I don't think it's unreasonable to question the source of the data.
How were "answers" and "non-answers" labeled? Is the rubric available? How many different individuals participated in the labeling task?
