My hat's off to the Boston Globe for having the balls to do real journalism.

[@utar88utar]

when a reporter HAS to do a cop's job. brilliant...

[@celticlofts]

It's not that simple. Like a private detective the journalist only focuses on one investigation at a time, the cops on the other hand have to deal with dozens of investigations at one time and they simply don't have the manpower to do that. I'm not making excuses for the cops, I'm just explaining the sad reality of the situation.

[@belliotrungy9107]

Cops usually aren't about finding conspiracies why independent journalism is crucial for people's safety.

Bitcoin exchanging above $23,000 as the year 2020 comes to an end, and bitcoin is still showing positive signs. The bulls are still very strong and active and with the recent halving, the price of bitcoin has set a new highs this year 2020 as predicted by professional binary analyst, such as Mr Richard Bruce of Binary Trade Options. What this indicates is that now is the perfect time to accumulate and increase your portfolio either through dollar-cost averaging or trading. DCA is good but less effective compared to trading I am currently trading under the guidance of Mr Richard Bruce and investing in the platform he introduced to me. I have made 15 BTC from my initial 1.5 BTC in less than 4 months. Investors should have trade experts guiding them in their trade so as to make more profit and Mr Richard is someone I highly recommend, so if you are a newbie or lack the needed knowledge in trading in binary, you can reached him directly on Instagram @richard_brucefx or whatsapp [phone] for inquires into a profitable trading system...

Kudos to Spotlight! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kevinmcmahon2491]

I saw the film when it was released and I've seen it 4 times since. The story is intriguing and the commitment, skill and energy of the Spotlight team is hugely impressive. That they made an incredible contribution to society by exposing the industrial scale criminality of the Catholic Church is just obvious. But, by their actions, they prevented countless other children from being harmed by Catholic priests. The Spotlight team are truly heroic. But the fight goes on. The recent directive from the Pope that all cases of alleged child abuse should be reported up the line to the Church authorities - and not the police! - shows that the Church is still intent on covering things up. Any parent who suspects any wrongdoing should go to the police - even the Boston police who, presumably, have now got the message.

I don't know how much have I been re-watch Spotlight, it gave me a mood booster to do a good job. I'm not a journalist, but I wanted to be one when in high school. That or a script writer. Now I'm working as a content marketing in short film industry, one of my 'child' is a special articles called 'Spotlight' that giving a voice to short filmmakers here in Indonesia. Btw, we name the section way before I even know about this great team or watched the film 😂. So for me, Spotlight is the best film that portrayed the real life of investigation journalist. I might will never be like them, but watching this video give me an inspiring thought of how amazing the impact of journalism. We need more journalist like this, especially in this era where hoax and fake news are spreading fast like a fire in the forest. Very much respect for what are they doing until now!!

"We answer to a higher authority" That's a quote from a Bishop speaking on Irish radio when these scandals first emerged in Ireland in the 1990's. They believed they were not subject to the laws of the land, they believed they were above all that..but it didn't take them long to hide behind those same laws in order to protect the wealth and power they had enjoyed for so long. The Church imploded in Ireland, today less than 20% of the Irish attend church or have any relationship with it. In 2018 only two priests were ordained in Ireland, a county that would normally produce hundreds of them.

People like Cardinal Law got to resign and then were moved to another position within the Vatican, they were never dragged before a judge to answer for their crimes. In many ways they were still treated as being above the law. Cardinal George Pell is the only high ranking priest in the Catholic Church to be brought to justice and found guilty, and that was in Australia. There should be no statute of limitations on child abuse.
