When mainstream media journos whine about lost readership, viewers, and public trust, remind them that they only have themselves to blame. And this latest hit job from the Miami Herald about the end of a grant for a Catholic charity can be marked Exhibit MMDCLXVII. At least.Here's the headline the Herald ran on their big scoop yesterday:Amid quarrel with pope, Trump strips Miami charity of funding to house migrant kidsQuoteThe Trump administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida. The development comes amid rising tensions between the administration and American Catholics over President Donald Trump’s heated criticism of the Vatican’s first American pope, Leo XIV. ....... There is clearly a "quarrel" between Trump and the pope. But did Trump cancel funding to care for "migrant children" in retaliation?If Trump did, then perhaps he's more omniscient than the Pope realizes. It's not until the end of the third paragraph that the Herald gets to the timing of the grant's cancellation comes to light, and it completely contradicts their narrative of retaliation, emphasis mine:QuoteThe federal government reached out to the charity in late March about the cancellation of the funding....In response to a Miami Herald inquiry, the Department of Health and Human Services said the daily population of unaccompanied migrant children in the agency’s care was “significantly lower,” at 1,900, under the Trump administration compared to a peak of 22,000 under the Biden administration. “ORR is closing and consolidating unused facilities as the Trump Administration continues efforts to stop illegal entry and the smuggling and trafficking of unaccompanied alien children,” said Emily G. Hillard, the Health and Human Services’ press secretary, though she did not single out Catholic Charities as an affected organization.
