The Media’s Coverage Of Pope Francis' Alleged Sex Abuse Cover-Up Is Insanely Despicable | Daily Wire



The Media's Coverage Of Pope Francis' Alleged Sex Abuse Cover-Up Is Insanely Despicable | Daily Wire

I was going to write something exactly along these lines: Shapiro in Daily Wire. 
I too watched in amazement as CNN spun Viganò's letter as an attack on our lovely, liberal pope...
And then the New York Times talks of conservatives in the US "weaponising" the claims that Bergoglio knew of abuse being hidden. (Claims which appear to be soundly based). 
Every time there's something they don't like, the Left calls it "weaponising". (Free speech is another one). 
Instead it should be, it must be: what did Bergoglio know and when did he know it?
Ben Shapiro nails it ...

Then there's Sam Harris' brilliant essay written ten years ago, but which may as well have been yesterday. He was writing about a report that had come out then, in Ireland, about the widespread abuse, inside the Catholic Church, of young children, most of them boys. Some of the examples he cited are sickening. 
What has changed? 
Nothing. 
Yet it's the critics of the abuse and its cover-up who are "weaponising" the abuse, according to CNN and the New York Times
Shame on them. 
Sam's 2010 essay here.  He writes so well. He also talks about it on his Waking Up podcast (#135)
