NY Times Latest Cover-up

http://www.catholicleague.org/new-york-times-remains-defiant-on-serra/
Here's the latest dust up between The New York Times and the hyperbolic Bill Donohue of the Catholic League over allegations that reporter Laura Holson defamed recently sainted Roman Catholic priest Junipero Serra.   You would think that The Times representative would defuse this with an apology or put Donohue in his place by providing a citation and quote backing up Holson's claim that Serra ordered the torturing of Native Americans.   Instead The Times standards editor Gregory Brock gave a non-answer answer.   Typically in the world of professional skepticism this means that Brock is covering up for Holson whose anonymous source probably doesn't exist.
