NBC News working hard to help 'Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence' with their PR effort

Last night the Los Angeles Dodgers went ahead with their plans to honor the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" well before the start of the game. The result was a crowd size that wasn't exactly overwhelming:

DODGER STADIUM-The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” are recognized for Pride night to a mostly empty audience.

Outside the stadium, protests were taking place and it was clear people are fed up and have had enough:

BREAKING: Thousands of Catholics have shut down the main entrance to Dodger Stadium on Vin Scully avenue in protest of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored tonight.

They are now lining the sidewalks and have taken over the entire block: pic.twitter.com/F5CSDvuap8

The crowd that came to honor the sisters of perpetual indulgence Vs. the crowd that came to honor Jesus outside of @Dodgers stadium. This is the reality of wokeness. It’s unpopular and pushed by corporations who ignore the popularity of sanity and faith. pic.twitter.com/UAq4nvfnpG

However, we all knew the group of phony nuns who like to dress in drag and mock Christianity would find some sympathetic friends in the media. Here's how NBC News framed the group:

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the group invited, disinvited and then invited again to the LA Dodgers' Pride Night, have been dedicated to community service and LGBTQ rights activism for decades. https://t.co/vhSrv03uf2

"Dedicated to community service"? Just imagine the media hyperventilating if this group regularly mocked Islam.

“caught up in the culture war”

Not unlike how Republicans started a "culture war" by making up stories about the Left wanting to ban gas stoves which as we know is now true.

Though most recently they’ve been called a “hate group” that is “blatantly perverted,” the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have advocated for care and community service for nearly 45 years.
The Sisters, whose members dress in drag as nuns, became the focus of headlines last month when they were invited, disinvited and then invited again to the annual LGBTQ Pride Night at Dodger Stadium.
[...]
The group began organizing in the 1970s to support people with HIV/AIDS and today it boasts dozens of orders across the United States and the world. Each order is independently operated but they all support a shared mission, not unlike faith-based nuns — though the Sisters claim no religious denomination. Members take vows and commit to work on uplifting their local communities.
Once part of an order, the Sisters minister to the sick and support the needy. They also host events featuring drag personas, including “Free Choice Mary” (a parody of Mary Magdalene), and hold “Hunky Jesus” costume contests (a sign at the April event read, “Can I get a gaymen?”)

It's the puffiest of puff pieces.

So if I dress up in blackface but do community service, no problem?

Mocking Catholics and ridiculing nuns isn't bigotry or hateful as long as you also volunteer a few hours a year.

One thing is true about so many media outlets:
