Earlier this week, Reuters served up its very own “conservatives pounce” take on the Catholic Church child sex abuse scandal.

Doubling down on defending the sexual abuse of children to own the cons. Bold strategy, Reuters.

That’s a really, really good question.
Or, more factually, Left-wing media and advocacy groups move to protect Pope Francis in face of damning accusations of sexual abuse coverup https://t.co/n7q7k6mGkl

“I’m not sure where to stand on child rape. On the one hand, it’s child rape. On the other, conservatives seem to oppose covering it up. So I’m torn.” https://t.co/DPQu1MHLiu

Exposing sex abuses and their subsequent cover up is a conservative assault of the Pope? You’re joking… This transcends politics and should also get Catholic Democrats worked up too. https://t.co/9FWxwZM9i6

Nothing has done more to undermine Pope Francis than the blasé attitude that he himself & his sycophants in the media seem to have towards a sex abuse scandal (& the accompanying conspiracy of silence) that seems to span throughout the Church hierarchy all the way to the Vatican. https://t.co/COGkqdNjIg

Conservative media isn’t undermining Pope Francis. Pope Francis is undermining Pope Francis. https://t.co/SUdioct4Nf

Last word to Tiana Lowe:
I will not forget who in the media stood for victims and who was complicit in covering for abusers. https://t.co/QxAP4Hjfd1

Nor will we.
