Newsweek article

quote:

Amy Coney Barrett, a favorite to be President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is affiliated with a type of Christian religious group that served as inspiration for Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale.


Pretty damning, right?

Buried at the bottom of the article:

quote:

Correction: This article's headline originally stated that People of Praise inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'. The book's author, Margaret Atwood, has never specifically mentioned the group as being the inspiration for her work. A New Yorker profile of the author from 2017 mentions a newspaper clipping as part of her research for the book of a different charismatic Catholic group, People of Hope. Newsweek regrets the error.


This pretty much disqualified the whole thesis of the article, doesn't is?

I swear the media needs a cleansing of some sort.

That’s quite a weak stretch.

Someone interprets a Christian organization as someone else’s inspiration for a fantasy novel, even though that person has not said it was an inspiration for her fantasy novel.

They ran that a couple years ago before Trump ultimately picked Kavanaugh. I’m sure they will try again and it will get worse than this. Eventually there will be someone who actually kills someone because they are so radicalized.

I hate how they put that crap at the very end. The whole article should be brought down.

So their “hitpiece” was also incorrect then?

The leftist media isn't about 'reporting facts', it's about planting a narrative and swaying public opinion. Even if it's blatantly false. They can always issue an 'apology' and say "oops, everyone makes mistakes" if called out. They are paid to do this.

What's really sad is that leftists are 'Ok' with this. "By any means necessary" I suppose. Disgusting.

We cant have a well educated, good moral mother, who was previously investigated thoroughly and confirmed by the Senate sit on the federal bench move to the Supreme Court! That's just crazy!

I’ve been reading all I can on her from the MSM perspective to see what they’ll say. WAPO and NYT actually had pretty good articles on her that even played down her religion saying her students never even knew she was catholic and had multiple quotes of her saying she’d never let her religion influence her rulings and duties as a judge to interpret the law.

ACB is a head fake.

Her being "spotted" at White House was intentional.

Since they are waiting until Friday or Saturday to announce they will let the MSM go wild with ACB stories.

Then Trump whips out the Cuban sage this weekend.

Hit piece #2 - Barrett has seven children. How can she devote time to both the Court and her children? FWIW, I didn't know her hometown was Metairie.
