I tried in vain to find any intelligence, humor or grace in Scheck’s article. Indeed, it’s really clear that Scheck began watching the programming with a specific agenda in mind—he knew he had to pan the show. READ MORE

Scheck’s hostile and derogatory “reporting” of what was broadcast during the launch is so far off the mark, it bears no resemblance to what was actually shown. READ MORE

This reporting is appalling and shame on him for taking such cheap shots in the Hollywood Reporter. READ MORE

Seriously? Did your critic see the same network launch that I did? On the Scientology TV channel premiere I saw a new religion finding its own voice on the world stage. READ MORE

You should know there is nothing you can do to impede our progress, because now, with our TV network, we tell our own story without perversion of the truth. READ MORE

Frank Scheck and THR have nothing to offer. Scientology does. READ MORE

This is neither the time nor the place to add scorn to a public already saturated with media-fed bitterness. READ MORE

You would find that Scientology has been officially recognized through numerous legal decisions and government decrees in dozens of countries. READ MORE

“I mean I’m just a crappy, has-been actress who’s trying to make a dollar off my church… .” Leah Remini READ MORE

I respectfully request that you inform the vendor that supplies magazines to Pavilions that if there are cover stories that discriminate or pour bigotry against ANY religious group or any group at all, that those magazines... READ MORE

The original purpose of Patheos.com, as I understand it, was to present information from authoritative sources and thus to help people learn about the world’s different faiths. Since falsehoods and bigotry in no way lead... READ MORE

I did not think the day would come when I’d see someone criticize a Church for bringing cheer to children during Christmas. READ MORE

That you connect Scientology with his name to impugn his conduct adds religious bigotry that is misplaced and offensive. READ MORE

I came across a Daily Mail article of 18 January, the same date as yours, which announced the storming of your sister organization, Newsweek, by two dozen NYPD and investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office. READ MORE

Admission to Winter Wonderland was free of charge, but in the spirit of Christmas, visitors were invited to donate to local charities in support of the homeless. That’s what you maligned. READ MORE

Your article contains aspersions and bigotry toward bona fide, recognized and accepted religions—such as the Church of Latter-day Saints, the Church of Scientology, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Science. READ MORE

You attack a religion over totally unsubstantiated claims, using allegations taken from an active proponent of backpage.com. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity? READ MORE

With respect, I recommend that you stick with politics when you write. Inserting your 2-cent depreciation of the Scientology religion in today’s sacbee.com article is unwanted and unwelcome. READ MORE

Your mean-spirited article only served to reflect your attitude toward a very talented actress who made a strong and poignant statement in support of women in her acceptance speech. READ MORE

Under these circumstances (not to mention the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights, both of which espouse freedom of religion) the employment of Paul Buccieri, Nancy Dubuc and Rob... READ MORE

Standing up for women’s rights does not warrant libel in the other direction. I am also assuming that the negative press that has been tied to Scientology stems from recent TV shows and “documentaries” that are nothing... READ MORE

Time will reveal the truth about Ms. Remini, who is known everywhere for doing this show strictly for money and personal publicity. It really is rather pathetic that Disney would support such a low, degraded show on their... READ MORE

May I recommend that you immediately terminate the employment of Nancy Dubuc and Paul Buccieri for encouraging this hateful display to continue. READ MORE

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. It helps people gain greater insight into themselves and others. READ MORE

Leah Remini’s program needs to end. All should be given the chance to find out about Scientology for themselves. They are owed and deserve that. READ MORE

If you care at all about the numerous members of my religion that this hurts, do not continue this brutal, mean-spirited, lie-filled series. A public apology would restore my faith in the Disney name, but nothing less would. READ MORE

That Disney and A&E would leverage the bottom feeding gossip columns to sell such bigoted vitriol against my religion of 45 years is despicable. READ MORE

The hateful and false claims from the Leah Remini Aftermath show do in fact create damage. Those false claims incite hate, bigotry and violence, not in theory but in the reality of hard cold facts. READ MORE

Anything that would distance Disney and A&E from the sour taste this show has put in all of our mouths, I would support. Please get back to shows that serve the public and enhance your own reputation. READ MORE

But then as I fast-forward to the present and “The Aftermath” I can’t imagine any family gathering around the TV to be entertained by it. From what I have heard, the show has pulled more than a few family and friend... READ MORE
