MEDIA WATCH
You accept Leah Remini’s vengeance without looking at a single allegation independently to determine its truth or falsity according to your inspection. If you really give a damn about humanity you would do more than parrot another’s vitriol and take a look at the good people do.
MEDIA WATCH
I am a Scientologist and an American. I would like to practice my religion without false attacks on my church promoted as “truth” by a handful of former Scientologists for profit and entertainment.
MEDIA WATCH
We need to stop doing anything that contributes to bringing about more hate and violence. Our youth need to be taught more tolerance, cooperation and harmony—NOT bigotry and hate!
MEDIA WATCH

MEDIA WATCH
Not only am I Scientologist for 46 years, but I am an African-American who grew up in the 50s and 60s. So I know about hatred and bigotry when I see it. And you are front and center in forcing people to believe lies that will damage lives, hurt families and cause threats and violence.

MEDIA WATCH
Scientology is accepted as a religion throughout the world. Since the establishment of the first Church of Scientology in 1954, the religion has grown to millions of members and Scientologists practice in virtually every country of the world.

Let me do a compare: reading your article, and others like it, is akin to asking a Jew to read Mein Kampf when seeking to understand the Torah. Who would do it? No one. This is why your article, and others like it, are never opened, never read and are dismissed out of hand.
