MEDIA WATCH
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 to greater understanding, Mehta’s presence on your site violates and betrays that purpose.
MEDIA WATCH
I did not think the day would come when I’d see someone criticize a Church for bringing cheer to children during Christmas.
MEDIA WATCH
That you connect Scientology with his name to impugn his conduct adds religious bigotry that is misplaced and offensive.
MEDIA WATCH
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.
MEDIA WATCH
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.
MEDIA WATCH
You attack a religion over totally unsubstantiated claims, using allegations taken from an active proponent of backpage.com. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?
MEDIA WATCH
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.
MEDIA WATCH
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.
MEDIA WATCH
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.
MEDIA WATCH
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 Sharenow should be terminated, and the remaining executives at A&E should publicly apologize for this atrocious series.
