PHILADELPHIA (PA)

For over a year, the media has whole-heartedly embraced and loudly trumpeted the graphic and shocking details of last year’s high-profile Philadelphia grand jury report.

The media has never so much as aired a peep of criticism or skepticism about the report or the criminal charges against the clergy – until now.
