Los Angeles Times (NOT Boston Globe) had first investigative journalists team reporting on clergy sexual abuse since 1985. Against mighty Jesuits & LA archdiocese – Cardinal Law was a cakewalk!

The movie Spotlight covers the five months leading to and culminating on the single day of January 6, 2002, when the Boston Globe published its first story on clergy abuse — and then it list all the dioceses that had clergy abuse as its ending — suggesting Boston Globe initiated exclusively the reporting on clergy sexual abuse that spread across the USA. But Los Angeles Times and others reporters from the Santa Barara Independent, the priest Tom Doyle in 1985 who wrote the initial complete report on clergy sexual abuse on minors, and Jason Berry who won journalistic awards for his reportage on clergy sexual abuse — are the true pioneers in the journalistic coverage of clergy sexual abuse. Therefore, the claim of the movie Spotlight — on behalf of Boston Globe — that it was the FIRST investigative team of reporters (akin to the two initial journalists in Nixon’s Watergate in the movie All the President’s Men ) is outrageously erroneous and false. (No surprise there as Hollywood and the Vaitcan are twin cities that “lie for a living”!)
