The mainstream media’s reporting of two reviews of the movie “Angels & Demons” by the Vatican’s newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano (OR), implied that the movies were given favorable reviews or, at least, they were not anti-Catholic. But an analysis by The Bulletin has determined this is not totally accurate.

News stories about two Vatican newspaper movie reviews of the film were slanted. The Ron Howard movie is based on the novel by Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, a story deemed virulently anti-Catholic. This movie has also generated controversy and has been labeled by critics as anti-Catholic.

I'm getting the impression here that maybe, just maybe the Bulletin article will be slanting things, too.

If you call telling the truth slanted then yes I guess so.

If you can find something in the article that isn’t true please let me know. However, be specific. Because the article was.

Then again - maybe you can’t be.

Then again, maybe objectivity is a lost art. The news article in this thread is from The Bulletin. You write for The Bulletin. Your profile page not only confirms your name as the writer (which means you're shilling your own column), it also says you're no longer writing for The Bulletin:

Until April 2007, I was a columnist with The Bulletin and a contibutor to Frontpagemag.com, Human Events, as well as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News.

What a detective you are. It’s well known here that I write for The Bulletin and occasionally post my own columns.

So what?

As far as my profile page is concerned, I’d forgotten about it. So I didn’t update it. However, it confirms that - from the very beginning - I didn’t keep my identity a secret.

What you’ve done though is validate my point. Rather than respond to my argument you make a pathetic attempt to attack me.

When I asked - “if you can find something in the article that isn’t true please let me know,” I asked that you,” be specific.” After that I said,” Then again - maybe you can’t be.”

Seems like I was right.

You seem like someone who has a lot of free time.

Perhaps you should take up a charitable activity. Maybe volunteer at your local USO or raise funds for your local PAL or Special Olympics or some other worthy activity. This would be more productive than embarassing yourself in this forum.
