The media = goverment = media = government =....
"Any institution that has allowed children to be harmed by predators deserves to be taken to task for it. No institution should get a pass. And no profession should get a pass. Not preachers, not priests — not even teachers.
Especially not teachers. And yet …
Consider the statistics: In accordance with a requirement of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, in 2002 the Department of Education carried out a study of sexual abuse in the school system.
Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft looked into the problem, and the first thing that came to her mind when Education Week reported on the study were the daily headlines about the Catholic Church.
"[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?" she said. "The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."
So, in order to better protect children, did media outlets start hounding the worse menace of the school systems, with headlines about a "Nationwide Teacher Molestation Cover-up" and by asking "Are Ed Schools Producing Pedophiles?"
No, they didn't. That treatment was reserved for the Catholic Church, while the greater problem in the schools was ignored altogether.
As the National Catholic Register's reporter Wayne Laugesen points out, the federal report said 422,000 California public-school students would be victims before graduation — a number that dwarfs the state's entire Catholic-school enrollment of 143,000.
Yet, during the first half of 2002, the 61 largest newspapers in California ran nearly 2,000 stories about sexual abuse in Catholic institutions, mostly concerning past allegations. During the same period, those newspapers ran four stories about the federal government's discovery of the much larger — and ongoing — abuse scandal in public schools.

Sex Abuse of Children in Government Schools
Is this a problem? In spades. Is it ignored by the media? Of course.

Really? They can't THAT good at shoveling this shit under the carpet. I get the impression sometimes the public is content NOT to know this stuff. It doesn't fit into the alternate reality being built up around us by our culture, and most feel it's a can of worms best left unopened.
That 'public' is a very lazy fellow at times. But to utterly ignore it? You would think they would be rushing to scoop each other. Oh wait. I forgot, no Christians at the end to pillory as pedophiles.
Stan,
Just poking my head in to let you know that we read every word you post. It's often the subject of the day on the FB groups or blogs. Please don't stop!
Blessings brother,
Dan
Thanks, Dan
"The Report determined that, during the period from 1950 to 2002, a total of 10,667 individuals had made allegations of child sexual abuse. Of these, the dioceses had been able to substantiate 6,700 accusations against 4,392 priests in the USA, about 4% of all 109,694 priests who served during the time covered by the study. Roughly 4% of the priests were accused, therefore. However, of these 4392 accused, only 252 were convicted. The number of alleged abuses increased in the 1960s, peaked in the 1970s, declined in the 1980s, and by the 1990s had returned to the levels of the 1950s."

From 1950 to 2002 or just over five decades, 252 priests have been convicted of sexual crimes. To put this into perspective, there's been over 100,000 priests that have served throughout that timespan. So less than 1/2 of 1% were found guilty, yet the MSM made it look as though it were epidemic. No agenda there, I'm sure.
It's no coincidence that the media began attacking the Catholic Church just at the same time that they began promoting homosexuality. The MSM are all cut from the same cloth; they all have the same agenda. With regards to sexual predators in the public school system (which for all intents and purposes is actually government-run), the MSM swept it all under the rug because it goes against the message they're desperately trying to project of "good government."
The Catholics stumbled badly by keeping the issue internal rather than turning perpetrators over to secular police. That involved transferring offenders rather than punishing them under standards of the state. And that in turn made the Catholic problem unknowable in size, and made them sitting ducks for Atheist attacks. It was both a serious tactical error and a moral error.
However, the government school problem dwarfs the Catholic problem by orders of magnitude, it appears. And ironically, the problem is mostly with predator women (another protected group).

One can find sexual predators in all walks of life. I remember reading articles about how people shouldn't confuse the mostly homosexual predatory acts with the sexual orientation -- all the while conflating priesthood with abuse. No logic whatsoever.
It's PC to ridicule and attack the Church/Christianity but gays have become a sacred species. Now a gay college quarterback has "come out of the closet" and he's being hailed as a hero, as courageous. ...For what, exactly? Announcing that he's gay? What did he accomplish with such an announcement besides (intentionally) drawing attention to himself and, just by sheer coincidence I'm sure, right near the NFL draft?
Again, the MSM began 'normalizing' homosexuality at just the same time as they were attacking the Church. It's right there in the Communist Manifesto playbook.
