A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... I learned NOT to believe anything "reported" on ABCCBSNBCCNNWashPostNYTimes.

Nothing? Do you live somewhere besides Ohio? Do you believe there was an earthquake in Ohio yesterday, as reported by the MSM?

Do you believe the priest in last night's CNN special did NOT sexually molest young boys in his congregation?

In the story one of the boys pressed charges and was ridiculed by the majority of the church who supported the priest...until another young man came forward to detail how the priest had destroyed his life, too, and very nearly destroyed his faith in Christ.

The priest was convicted and served time in jail. I guess someone believed the victims.

Nothing?

Nothing. I consider everything they report to be in some fashion slanted, to contain only part of the truth, and to contain at least some falsehood. It's possible to filter some facts out of the morass of falsehood and distortion, but it takes considerable effort.

Do you believe that Frank Dew, of Praise Tabernacle Church, stands accused of the (attempted?) rape of a teenage boy? Do you believe the posted story, above, is complete? Do you think that story warrants any comment on your part? Perhaps you'd like to offer Praise Tabernacle Church some unsolicited advise as to the selection of their clergy? I'm sure they'd give it all the consideration it's due.

Do you believe that CNN told you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about that particular story? Do you believe that CNN is generally in the habit of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Finally, I'd like to remind you, in case you'd forgotten, that "Praise Tabernacle Church" is protestant.
