"I admit that I often feel a sense of injustice these days. Why is the church being excoriated? Isn't there also abuse elsewhere? And then I'm tempted to say: 'Yes, the media just don't like the church! Maybe there's even a conspiracy against the church?' But then I feel in my heart that no, that's not it."

Taibbi's right. It's just staggering to think that that's their defense: "Well, it's not like we're the only ones molesting kids."
And holy hell the sheer audacity it takes to blame the media for daring to uncover the fact that you've been raping little boys. The nerve of those guys in the press.
