You will wait long, this is not the first time this sort of thing has come up.
And for what point, exactly? What is the point of (PICTURES) in the OP? Has there been a trial?
Maybe last yr I had a mulitpage discussion with, I’ll say, 3 devote Catholics who cited a study based on the mid 80’s to 2000 comparing the Catholic Priest sexual abuse cases to Protestant accusations and the gist of it was, “see, Protestant Churches have an even worse problem! the Southern Baptist Convention will not start a database of the accusations because there are soo many of them”!
To what end? “They are doing it too”?
And exactly when has CNN ever been considered even fair, let alone quotable in the Religion Forum?
What "sort of thing"?
I'm asking you a simple question which you've refused to answer. Is it your position that only Catholic sex scandals have a place here?

What is the point of the pictures? Presumably they form part of the evidence in the case. Has there been a trial? No. But since when has that ever been a precondition for reporting news? Arrests and allegations are reported all the time. Including cases which involve the Catholic Church.
Would you prefer it if the pictures were suppressed?

I feel your pain but I've never been a party to that discussion. The "your scandal is worse than ours" food fight is not something in which I'm interested.
You're arguing with the wrong guy.

This has nothing to do with CNN. Long has been accused by three men and of that there is absolutely no doubt. It's everywhere, not just CNN and Long's own lawyer admits the accusations although he denies any guilt, of course. So CNN and CBS are simply reporting the allegations.
Again, you made allegations about my motives for posting this which were highly improper. You suggested I was on "a quest", while refusing to produce any evidence to back that up and you trashed me in a post directed to another Freeper without having the courtesy to ping me. Another no-no.
Are you disputing the allegations against Long? Are you suggesting that all news of the allegations be suppressed? Do you consider that this news should not be on FR?
What exactly do you want?
