Remember this, the next time you read the NYT …

… Samaritan's Purse COVID Clinic Discriminated Against Zero LGBT Patients.

There was no evidence of any kind of discrimination. No journalist or watchdog group could document any patient complaining of caregivers forcing any unwanted Christian beliefs or practices upon them. The New York Times reported this was a deep concern because “the organization’s slogan, ‘Helping in Jesus’ name,’ was on trucks outside the field hospital and Mr. Graham delivered an Easter sermon on Fox News from the site.” For the good people at The Times, apparently “helping in Jesus’ name” means forcing people to listen to sermonizing.
Journalism used to be about verifying what you assert before asserting it. Reporting takes a lot more time than bloviating, but it’s much more satisfying. Amazing the things you discover.
