WashPost Boosts Homosexual's Activism Against Catholic Priest Who Deni

February 21st, 2014 6:10 PM
On Friday, the Washington Post predictably depicted a Catholic hospital chaplain as the aggressor, after the priest denied an ailing, openly-homosexual patient Communion and the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. The liberal newspaper's Metro-section report on the controversy came less than a week after the section's former editor blasted a Virginia Catholic priest for dissolving his…

WashPost Gets It Wrong: Slams Pope Benedict as 'Far Less Accessible' t

November 27th, 2013 7:52 AM
The Washington Post offered a balance of experts in their story on the new apostolic exhortation published by Pope Francis -- including Ed Morrissey of Hot Air -- even as they were impressed at how Francis used “trickle-down” like a liberal Democrat. The “direct reference to 'trickle-down' economics in the English translation of his statement is striking,” confessed reporters Zachary Goldfarb…

WashPost Suggests It's Not the Tsarnaevs That Are Sick, But Islamophob

April 23rd, 2013 2:33 PM
The Washington Post tried to turn the camera lens around on the violent Tsarnaev brothers. Their arrogant liberal assumption: the real question is what this says about us backwards Americans, not about the bombers. The headline in huge type was “Who do we think they are? The answer says a lot about who we are.” What we are, apparently, is a sad gathering of “Islamophobes,” because the story…

WashPost Religion Reporter Miller Lectures Christians to be Anti-Gun R

January 28th, 2013 1:10 PM
The Washington Post's religion writers have been hard at work of late to boost the religious left's push for more stringent gun control legislation. On Thursday, for example, Post religion writer Michelle Boorstein treated readers of the paper's Metro section with a puffy front-page item celebrating the pulpit-pounding for gun control from the likes of the dean of the Episcopal Church's…

WashPost Religion Reporter Notes National Cathedral to Allow Same-sex

January 9th, 2013 11:52 AM
She had 12 paragraphs to play with, but in none of them did Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein find any space for a conservative Episcopalian or Anglican to voice objection to the decision by Episcopal authorities to permit same-sex wedding ceremonies in the historic Washington National Cathedral in Northwest Washington, D.C. "In some ways, the announcement that is expected…

WashPost Plays Up a Heil-Hitler Reference In Story on Virginia Catholi

July 12th, 2012 2:42 PM
Now here’s a stretch: what began on the front page of Thursday’s Washington Post as a story on the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia asking volunteer religion teachers to sign a fidelity oath to church teachings concluded with an image of German Catholic bishops doing a Heil Hitler salute. This loaded Nazi reference – in a church now led by someone conscripted into Hitler’s army – came from a…

WaPo: Dissenting Lefty Nun ‘Part Zen Master, Part Political Tacticia

June 28th, 2012 1:42 PM
Liberal media outlets have never met a dissenting Catholic they didn’t like. The flavor of this month – a liberal nun and her publicity tour group for “social justice” – got the requisite puff piece in The Washington Post to complete the adoration heaped on them by CNN, Time, and MSNBC. In her June 27 article “The Nuns on the Bus tour promotes social justice – and turns a blind eye to the…

March 11th, 2011 12:33 PM
Two men testified yesterday before a U.S. House of Representatives panel about how their loved ones were radicalized by Islamist extremists and how local mosque leaders did nothing to help alert U.S. authorities of the potential danger. Yet accounts of their testimony were buried in the Washington Post's front page March 11 story about the Homeland Security Committee's March 10 hearings…

WaPo Honors Social Liberal Chris Matthews on Page One as 'Devoutly Cat

November 16th, 2010 8:15 AM
MSNBC's Chris Matthews is a devout liberal, including on contentious social issues like abortion and homosexuality. But on the front page of Tuesday's Washington Post, religion reporter Michelle Boorstein began a story on Archbishop Donald Wuerl's elevation to Cardinal at the Vatican like this: The archbishop's two brothers will be there. So will a rabbi he knows from Pittsburgh, the D.C.…

WaPo Implies U.S. 'Islamophobia' Emerges in a 'Vacuum' of Ignorance, L

September 13th, 2010 8:46 AM
Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein is generally a careful reporter, not prone to outbursts of liberal bias. But the general liberal-media bias that ignorance breeds "Islamophobia" came through between the lines in a Monday story on the aftermath of the Koran-burning publicity stunt week in Florida:  In fact, like much of the country, Gainesville's racial and religious diversity…

Washington Post: Ground Zero Mosque Protesters 'Use "Sharia" as a Slur

August 27th, 2010 3:28 PM
"Protesters use 'sharia' as a slur and rallying cry against Islam," reads the dismissive print edition headline for Michelle Boorstein's page A5 August 27 story. The Washington Post's online edition used different wording: "For critics of Islam, 'sharia' a loaded word." Boorstein cited "controversial" conservative scholar Daniel Pipes warning that pro-sharia Muslims "want to implement sharia in…

Newsweek Could Have Just Asked Colleagues at WaPo About Young Pro-Life

January 23rd, 2010 5:17 PM
Krista Gesaman of Newsweek.com's Gaggle blog could have saved herself from the indignity of making the absurd claim that young women were "missing" from protests marking the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by merely searching through the past coverage of the March for Life by the Washington Post, Newsweek's sister publication. In past years, the Post has highlighted the "youthful throng," the "large…
