    Just because someone else is (literally!) demonizing a politician doesn't mean you should give them uncritical amplification.

      Either you believe religion is pointless and this response is interesting because you don't respect it as a reporter.

        In which case this manages to both be demeaning to the source and your own coverage.

          Or you treat it seriously and interview some other sources. Like any other thing you report on.

            Like hey, why not pick up a phone and call a priest? Or an exorcist, or demon hunter or some other thing.

              I mean, if we were to treat this story seriously, I think many of us would consider it to be ridiculous. But if we're not, why run it?

                This just manages to disrespect reader, the source, & every other bit of coverage of the event. If you don't respect a source, don't run it

                    I mean... people were accusing Hillary Clinton of demonic possession for a decade and it (rightfully) got zero coverage.

                      I don't give a shit about journalists showing their bias, but to do it in this indirect bullshit way undermines trust in all of us.
