I must confess I didn't pay much attention to the saga, which I see from this article must have run for years. But it looks like the ABC feels it has a need to cover its backside in the light of the cardinal being found not guilty instead of being hung, drawn & quartered as it seems the ABC expected. I don't remember having seen the ABC delivering such a mea culpa about anything for as long as I can remember. Are they fearing a defamation suit?
