Two years ago a Canadian graduate student triggered furor when she reported that ground penetrating radar had identified over two-hundred, hithertofore undocumented potential graves on parcels that had housed native-Americans.

Furthermore, more potential graves were being identified daily and the grave sites were on reservations that had been administered by the Roman Catholic Church.

Like the US, Canada had sub-contracted the administration of "Indian" Reservations with large charities, which in that day meant religious organizations. Typically, a given tribe would be serviced by a given religious denomination.

The mainstream media ran with the story. The qualifier "potential" was either eliminated or buried in paragraph 13 of the story. If a reader had extra time and an inclination to dig, the original paper that triggered the fecal storm stated that there were many other natural phenomena, like rotting stumps and tree roots, that were capable of producing the anomalies that were identified as "potential grave sites".

Catholic churches in Canada were vandalized. Bishops groveled.

It was ugly.

And now, two years later, it turns out the anomalies were...due to natural causes.

With respect to the mainstream media, dare I suggest that they were projecting their own, pervasive, institutionalized ill-will toward their fellow man on to the charities in question?
