Mercury News, Quit the Bigoted Rumormongering

You will be the undeserving subject of ridicule someday. It will feel unfair. You will wonder why anyone could get away with lying about you. Then perhaps you will recognize that, as a news source, you’ve done the same thing to others.

NY Post, I’m Appalled

In what world is it acceptable behavior to slander an entire religion, based on dubious hearsay, in the hours immediately following a horrific family tragedy?
