p> OTHER CHEEK, NOT TURNED br> Re: George Neumayr's The Mean Streets of Los Angeles : /p>

It has already been established that Neumeyer has a huge axe to grind against those within the church he perceives to be "liberal." But his ill-fitting political goggles don't serve him well -- not that he cares much -- when attacking his favorite church targets, like Cardinal Roger Mahony.

Neumeyer is the master of regurgitating past stories that have been debunked. And there is more of it in his most recent column.

For the record -- again -- Cardinal Mahony was never close with Michael Baker. Baker never visited the cardinal in Yosemite. Ron Russell wrote that for a weekly throw-away, in an article that had more holes and mistakes in it than a George Neumeyer column.

p>Also, it has been established that the now-convicted child molester, Baker, lied to his victims, their families, his superiors and the public. He said he told the cardinal specifically about calling the police. (He also vehemently denied molesting children since receiving therapy, until cutting a deal with prosecutors a few weeks ago.) Another self-serving manipulation in a long series of manipulations. It speaks volumes about Neumeyer's own biases that he eagerly believes Baker or any child molester, for that matter. br> -- Tod M.
