DUBLIN, Ireland -- The Associated Press has published a major correction notice undercutting its reporting on the recent claim that Irish nuns dumped nearly 800 bodies of babies in a septic tank beside their orphanage. The story was featured in media across the globe and created an international furor against the Catholic Church in Ireland.

The orphanage took care of babies given up by unwed mothers from 1925 to 1961, but in articles on June 3 and June 8, the AP said evidence pointed to a number of potential atrocities.

Anything to bash Catholics -- especially lies.

This is not so much a problem with the Lame Stream Media as it is with the Lying Media

[wideawake]

It was a problem on FR too, with the usual idiots lined up to pimp this fake story.

[skeeter]

You’re wrong about one helluvalot more than that.

AP's Attitude:

Since it is a story about the Catholic Church, the AP does not need to check any of the facts.

So if a story involves the Catholic Church, ANY BASHING IS A GOOD THING IN THE EYES OF THE AP...

[topher]

Are you saying me, or are you saying THE AP is wrong about alot more than just that?

[SkyDancer]

Oh Gee! Oh Wow! AP got caught out? Put the news out there before vetting the truth? As they say “don’t believe nothing you read and half of what you see ...”

[skeeter]

AP specifically, MSM in general. They owe us more than an apology.

Atonement via mass ritual suicide is more appropriate.

[Henry Hnyellar]

Followed by tossing the bodies in a septic tank.

The only surprising thing is that the AP actually issued a quiet retraction... not that such an insignificant thing will ever stop the march of lies and outrageous evil manipulations that the AP is actively engaged in.

[miss marmelstein]

Will any of those freepers apologize? Or, like Democrats, simply move on to the next issue?

[cripplecreek]

Anyone who seeks to stir strife between Catholics and Protestants is no friend of this protestant.

The devil and the democrats want us divided and I refuse to play.

If they hadn’t been so eager to publish a salacious story they wouldn’t have to backstep out of it. Hideous really.

[20yearvet]

When newspapers, radio, and TV bast a false story in headlines, they should be required to give the retraction as much time and space as they gave the story.

[2ndDivisionVet]

In this day and age, any kind of calumny, slander or negative statement about the Church is fair game. Anything goes, as long as an institution of Western Civilization is smeared. Marriage, family, culture, Church—ALL have to be redefined to suit the desires of the anti-Human nihilists, knaves and fools calling themselves the “Left”.
