There are a continuous stream of reminders for why thoughtful people should not get their news from the main stream media. In an article titled New York Post flubs the strange case of a liberal church and a lesbian minister’s pension, Terry Mattingly of the religious journalism watchdog site GetReligion.org discusses the outrageous misrepresentations made by the NY Post in an article they titled, Lesbian pastor’s widow takes on church to get pension payments. It reminded me of a set of articles written about a homosexual man who was an acquaintance–a friend of a family member, but got caught abusing a boy who was his foster child. It was a horrible, very sad affair. The way the events were reported in the main stream press led people to believe the guy was a serious church goer, but neglected to say he actually taught sexuality classes to eighth and ninth graders at a very liberal Unitarian (who reject the beliefs of historical Christianity) until deep into the articles if they were reported at all. You can read about it and follow links to a couple of the articles on this topic here, here and here.
