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 ...”
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.
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, Church—ALL have to be redefined to suit the desires of the anti-Human nihilists, knaves and fools calling themselves the “Left”.
