Media Watch

Media Watch takes a critical and unblinking look at the way newspapers, radio and TV cover clergy sexual abuse legal issues and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. When they get it wrong - whether factual error, lack of clarity or simple distortion - we will point it out. We'll also take note of those who get it right. You'll see that the Los Angeles Times shows up over and over again in the Media Watch pieces listed below. You'll have to draw your own conclusions from that.

Please also check out Myths the Media Tells You for some additional perspective.
