Go to the home page of MSNBC and click on “World News.” From there click on “Americas.” Next click on the article, “Losing Their Religion? Catholicism in Turmoil.” Scroll down and in the “Click for Related Content” section there is an article entitled, “Pope Describes Touching Boys: I Went Too Far.” Clicking on this piece takes the reader to an article about a homosexual German priest who had sex with males in the 1980s. It says absolutely nothing about the pope. Yet MSNBC paints Pope Benedict XVI as a child molester in the tease to the article.

Later in the day and numerous e-mails and phone calls, NBC apologized the an article on MSNBC’s website entitled, “Pope Describes Touching Boys: I Went Too Far.” The article that readers accessed after clicking on it actually had nothing to do with the pope.

Lying is just what they do, and why I relentlessly avoid NBC.

[mlizzy]

Thanks very much for the list of sponsors. The devil feels much strength now evidently.

Prayers for Our Pa-Pa. What an incredible Pope he is.

[antiRepublicrat]

Boycott the U.S. Air Force?

[Berlin_Freeper]

MSNBC was too busy touching little boys to notice the mistake they made.

[utherdoul]

boycott boeing?? That leaves airbus no thank you.

[chris_bdba]

Thanks for the list. I think going after threir sponors is an excellent way to protest their anti Catholic bigotry. Now if 1/2 of the Catholic in the country woul email them they would runs from NBC/ MSNBC

[married21]

that would work. There are a lot of 1/2 Catholics. :)

So the article was supposed to “Priest describes...” instead of “Pope”. Shows incompetence at MSNBC, but I wouldn’t assume it was intentional. I’m always amazed at how many headlines have typos, grammatical errors, or are extremely ambiguous across the board.

[Mr. K]

Or at least write to their sponsors

It seems like a lot of these people advertisie on all kinds of stations

Liberals buy cars too... so I dont blame them

What I do blame is supporting blatant liberal bias. We can contact them directly- which would have more immediate effect than a ‘boycott’ where they will have no idea who is NOT buying their cars or sausage.

Whoever penned that title needs their ass kicked! :-(

NBC is POND SCUM's POND SCUM.

That's not "yellow journalism" that is "dark brown" journalism.



Maybe this puppy can't, but NBC can. In living color and in your livingroom, bedroom, den, where ever.

[jiggyboy]

I vow not to fly or pilot any USAF fighter, or buy one, until NBC lies in ruins.
