The fact that they didn’t know who he was quoting and why is part of the problem and part of the bias.

Yahoo News on Wednesday paraphrased a quote by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) in a way that made it appear like he made a sexist remark about one of the women who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.
In an interview at the The Atlantic Festival, Graham defended President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of Christine Blasey Ford.
“Everything he said was factual. He’s frustrated his nominee has been treated so badly,” Graham said.
“Factual? It was a personal degrading attack on someone who is a private citizen,” responded interviewer Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic.
“You know, here’s what’s personally degrading,” Graham pushed back. “‘This is what happens when you go through a trailer park with a $100 bill.'”
The audience gasped at the quote, leading Goldberg to clarify that Graham was reciting a famous line said by someone else. Graham’s quote was actually a reference to a comment made by James Carville, an adviser to former President Bill Clinton, about Paula Jones, who accused Clinton of sexually harassing her in 1991.
