A New Low in the Media's Coverage of Cardinal Burke

Even by the poor standards of journalism historically exhibited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, this is appalling.  If indeed there were any journalistic integrity left in that rag, the writer of the headline below would be fired, tarrred, feathered, ridden out of town on a rail, and blacklisted from any job in journalism ever again.  St. Louis: you have more to be proud of than just Ferguson!  Anyway, the headline:Cardinal Raymond Burke: Gays, remarried Catholics, murderers are all the sameThe underlying story, by David Gibson of RNS, is merely a run-of-the-mill hatchet job on the good Cardinal, filled with the usual "sane people vs. believing Catholic" rhetoric.  The writer of the headline is unknown.Lest you think that anyone could see the inherent cowardice and unfairness of this headline, and make their own independent judgements of the Cardinal's actual words in context, just click on the comments section of the story.If I hadn't cancelled my subscription long ago, I would.  Does anyone not a blogger even read this stuff?
