LINK How the NYT botched its coverage of the Supreme Court’s football prayer case

The New York Times‘ hit podcast The Daily published what should have been a straightforward episode on Wednesday morning about a controversial church/state separation case in front of the Supreme Court. Instead, they screwed up basic facts and leaned heavily on the Christian side of the debate.

The case in question is Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, which involves a high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, who claims he was discriminated against when the district told him he couldn’t hold prayer events at midfield after games. On Monday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments and they’ll issue their ruling in a couple of months.

The fact that a prayer case can still get an audience in the Supreme Court in 2022 days it all…..👀

The only reason this bullshit case is being considered is that SCOTUS is now packed with activist anti-progressive judges who seek to overturn centuries of church-state separation... because they can! Stare Decisis has been swept away under the rug of partisan fervor.

The question now is, is Liptak just a sloppy reporter, or does he have a hidden agenda?
