DUBLIN, Ireland -- The Associated Press has published a major correction notice undercutting its reporting on the recent claim that Irish nuns dumped nearly 800 bodies of babies in a septic tank beside their orphanage. The story was featured in media across the globe and created an international furor against the Catholic Church in Ireland.
The orphanage took care of babies given up by unwed mothers from 1925 to 1961, but in articles on June 3 and June 8, the AP said evidence pointed to a number of potential atrocities.

This is not so much a problem with the Lame Stream Media as it is with the Lying Media
It was a problem on FR too, with the usual idiots lined up to pimp this fake story.
You’re wrong about one helluvalot more than that.
Since it is a story about the Catholic Church, the AP does not need to check any of the facts.
So if a story involves the Catholic Church, ANY BASHING IS A GOOD THING IN THE EYES OF THE AP...
Oh Gee! Oh Wow! AP got caught out? Put the news out there before vetting the truth? As they say “don’t believe nothing you read and half of what you see ...”
Atonement via mass ritual suicide is more appropriate.
Followed by tossing the bodies in a septic tank.
The only surprising thing is that the AP actually issued a quiet retraction... not that such an insignificant thing will ever stop the march of lies and outrageous evil manipulations that the AP is actively engaged in.
Will any of those freepers apologize? Or, like Democrats, simply move on to the next issue?
Anyone who seeks to stir strife between Catholics and Protestants is no friend of this protestant.
The devil and the democrats want us divided and I refuse to play.
If they hadn’t been so eager to publish a salacious story they wouldn’t have to backstep out of it. Hideous really.
In this day and age, any kind of calumny, slander or negative statement about the Church is fair game. Anything goes, as long as an institution of Western Civilization is smeared. Marriage, family, culture, ChurchALL have to be redefined to suit the desires of the anti-Human nihilists, knaves and fools calling themselves the Left.
