Episcopal News Service Does the Right Thing
Earlier today, blogger Adam Holland discovered a bigoted article on the website run by the Episcopal News Service and tweeted about it. CAMERA contacted the news service and complained about the outrageous bigotry in the article (detailed at Holland’s blog). The ENS responded by apologizing for publishing the article and taking it down from its website.
Good work, Adam.
Update Aug 15, 2011 : The article has been removed from ENS’ archives, but is still showing if people click on pre-existing link to the article. CAMERA has spoken to a staffer at ENS to address the problem. The assurance CAMERA has gotten is that at some point in the future — we do not know when — the offending paragraph will be deleted and an editor’s note will be put at the top of the article to inform readers that the article has been edited.
