Interesting.
I go to the Fox news report on the Kavanaugh hearings . . and find things like this :

>>
Senate Democrats aggressively questioned Judge Brett Kavanaugh about his previous rulings on abortion, executive power, and gun rights on Wednesday, the second day of confirmation hearings marked by persistent interruptions from protesters and thinly veiled suggestions that the Supreme Court nominee was not being entirely forthcoming.
>>>

Factual reporting.

From CNN I find things like this :

>>
Kavanaugh won't commit to recuse himself from cases involving the President's criminal or civil liability
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, describing President Trump as an “unindicted co-conspirator in serious wrongdoing," said issues of the President's personal liability could come before the court.

Blumenthal asked Judge Brett Kavanaugh if he would commit to recuse himself from ruling in any such case.

Kavanaugh replied by saying the judiciary is independent and he may not make a commitment on any particular case -- and that would include those involving the President.
>>>

And CNN pretends to be a news outlet.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democrats have failed in yet another scheme to derail the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as the next associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court after they attempted to use arcane Senate rules to force the Senate Judiciary Committee to adjourn at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, just a few hours into the first day of committee senators' questioning President Donald Trump's second Supreme Court pick.

Instead, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell flipped their playback in their faces and is adjourning the entire U.S. Senate to keep the confirmation hearings going.

Schumer attempted to invoke what is called the "2 p.m. rule," objecting to the Senate conducting business as usual on the floor while the Judiciary Committee continues its business past 2:00 p.m. In response, McConnell adjourned the entire U.S. Senate floor so the Judiciary Committee could continue the Kavanaugh hearings: ...
