Toxic publications?

How can people be so nasty?

Rorate Caeli blog publishes extreme positions. Here is a recent posting:


"Yesterday, an extreme "progressive" American publication released what is partly a long interview, partly a cheering mutual-praising and self-serving powwow, with Archbishop Blase Cupich, without doubt Pope Francis' most important appointment (so far) to the United States' episcopate. After reading this, there is only one thing we can say to our friends in Chicago: we will keep you in our prayers."

It seems akin to Fox News or Patriot Radio in the US.

What is it about deeply conservative publications? Why is it they are so nasty?

On the cover page of the February issue of the free-sheet Alive:

"Farrell was not great TV presenter", "Obama & EU are waging a religious war".

And then on page 7 the link between water, rebellion and God.
