Mark Judge attacks Kate Snow’s new website over Kavanaugh interview
Mark Judge released a commentary on October 2, 2026 sharply criticizing NBC journalist Kate Snow after she unveiled a personal website that showcases her reporting, hobbies and a podcast series.
The piece alleges that Snow’s role in the 2018 NBC interview with Julie Swetnick – the accuser who claimed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attended high‑school parties where women were drugged and gang‑raped – was part of a broader effort to hide exonerating evidence. Judge wrote that Snow “buried exonerating evidence about Kavanaugh” and that NBC delayed reporting on a key witness who later repudiated claims made by Swetnick’s lawyer.
Kate Snow should not have a new website. She should also not have a job. Kate Snow is the woman who in 2018 interviewed Julie Swetnick… Snow then buried exonerating evidence about Kavanaugh. … It’s important for conservatives, and frankly all Americans, to remember what people like Kate Snow did.
Judge’s commentary also references a June 2018 tweet from Snow explaining the delay in reporting, suggesting the story lost news value after the Kavanaugh vote. He disputes that rationale, arguing the information remained crucial to public understanding of the confirmation process.
The article frames the criticism as part of a larger “political backlash” against media personalities tied to the hearings, citing past instances where NBC was allegedly aware of problems with the Swetnick story but chose to withhold it. Judge calls for Snow to “never forget the lies she spread,” positioning the dispute within a broader cultural conflict over media accountability.
Snow’s website, launched earlier in the week, includes a personal greeting, a portfolio of reporting, a music tab and a podcast called “The Drink.” Aside from the criticism, the site does not address the accusations directly. The NBC network declined to comment on the editorial process surrounding the 2018 interview.
Judge’s piece re‑ignites debate over journalistic responsibility during the Kavanaugh confirmation saga, but no formal response from Snow or NBC has been reported as of this writing.
