As Twitchy told you, the New York Times sent jaws crashing into floors with their “conservatives pounce” take on the Catholic Church sex abuse and pedophilia scandal.
Jason Horowitz, who wrote the piece, seemed more upset at conservative Catholic pushback against the Church’s inaction and complicity than at the systematic sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

Their own projection ends up making them defend things like child rape and deportation of actual Nazis. https://t.co/dPzKuJzlYO

Saving this to show to the next journalist who claims newspapers are unbiased. How did that headline get by any responsible copy editor?
