48 conservative groups demand media, tech companies disavow Southern Poverty Law Center
[....] inspired “hard news” reports from ABC, NBC, and others to identify the religious liberty firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) as a “hate group”; and more. [....]
To keep the allegedly "
hateful"
dots connected, I believe it's worth pointing out to
CathInfo readers that 1 signatory to the newsworthy
subject letter was the
Alliance for Defending Freedom's "President, CEO and General Counsel"
Michael P. Farris, whose organization was dumped by
Amazon as an acceptable recipient of charitable donations, on the biased, um, authority(?) of SPLC. The incident was brought to the attention of
C.I. nearly 2 months ago:
Christians labeled as "haters" by the SPLC are now going to be booted from Amazon's "smile" program. [....]
As reported May 3 [2018] in
TheFederalist.com. A link was provided in the
original posting that I quoted (very minimally but sufficiently to give credit [

Note
*: A
topic that was regrettably
originally posted under <
https://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/>, where it would've likely been pushed off its front
index page and into obscurity faster than anywhere else on
CathInfo. I urge
C.I. members to follow MaterDominici's focused example of placement of
topics about SPLC instead. I now see that Matthew alertly-albeit-manually redundantly listed it here in <
https://www.cathinfo.com/fighting-errors-in-the-modern-world/>, but even in this more appropriate (sub)forum, it's sunk to its
index page 4.
Sigh.
