Wrapping up an article about an independent investigation into sexual misconduct at the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, our favorite part time newspaper editor and full time political hack Yael Abouhalkah wrote:
Bottom line: Graves is the person in charge of making sure this isn’t another whitewash by the diocese… And if Graves calls for Finn to resign or at least be punished in some way, then we’ll have a better idea of whether this was really an “independent” investigation by Graves.
As a journalist you'd think that Yael would 'get' that the purpose of having an "independent" investigation by bringing in a non-Catholic is to avoid having a predetermined conclusion. Yael also miraculously fails to mention that the report will be made public, which will allow all the real journalists out there plenty of opportunities to give informed and well researched opinions.
