Newsweek's Attempt to Smear Potential SCOTUS Pick Amy Coney Barrett Fails Spectacularly

Folks, we are dealing with sick, sick individuals.

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.
"Barrett, a devout Catholic, and her husband both belong to the People of Praise group, current and former members have said, according to The New York Times. Their fathers have served as leaders in the group.
"The charismatic Christian parachurch organization, which was founded in South Bend, Indiana in 1971, teaches that men have authority over their wives. Members swear a lifelong oath of loyalty to one another and are expected to donate at least 5 per cent of their earnings to the group."
Newsweek has since changed the headline to "How Charismatic Catholic Groups Like Amy Coney Barrett's People of Praise Inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'" due to the fact Atwood has never specified which group was the inspiration for her book, which went on to become a series on Hulu.
The publication then inserted the following 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."

John st to be clear, there was no error. It was deliberate. Newsweek knows most people don't read the entire article. Put the lies/smears up front, and it is mission accomplished.
Remember, journalists these days believe their job is to shape opinion not just report the facts.

Oh no
A fictional Hollywood show is perhaps inspired by the general idea of a group of people
That means it is all totally real!

Assholes.
