MSNBC Smears the Pope

It's hard to be genuinely shocked by anything that MSNBC does anymore, but this was just unbelievable:

"NBC apologized today for an article on MSNBC’s website entitled, “Pope Describes Touching Boys: I Went Too Far.” The article that readers accessed after clicking on it actually had nothing to do with the pope."

I assume (or at least hope) that this was a simple case of failure to control the interns. But, either way, heads should roll.

Again, I'm not catholic, but Pope Benedict strikes me as a shining example of Christian faith and action.The New York Times's (and apparently MSNBC's) recent campaign against him is dishonest and sad.
