Actress and outspoken conservative Patricia Heaton just trashed the mainstream media for their disgusting treatment of the Covington MAGA hat wearing teens at the center of the current national controversy in a tweet storm:
1. I'm seeing what I believe to be sincere apologies from some journalists and verified media persons regarding their lack of professionalism in rushing to judgement re the #CovingtonCatholic situation.
— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) January 21, 2019
2. These apologies are welcome and necessary, but they don't address the damage that cannot be undone which was inflicted upon young people who are about to embark on adulthood – applying to colleges, looking for employment, etc.
— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) January 21, 2019
3. These young people will forever have these smears follow them through their life every time they proffer their resume with the word "Covington" on it. It will also affect anyone who ever has or ever will attend that school. The damage is incalculable.
— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) January 21, 2019
4. And yet those who perpetrated this destruction, no matter how unintended, are still at their jobs, with nary a consequence for their reckless behavior.
— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) January 21, 2019
5. It seems to me that an apology without some kind of accompanying action which speaks to the seriousness of their transgression – a suspension from work, some loss of pay – renders any apology empty.
— Patricia Heaton (@PatriciaHeaton) January 21, 2019
6. Some kind of compensatory action would go a long way in signaling their recognition of the seriousness of their transgression and help to restore what's left of the public's very fragile trust in their reputations as trustworthy journalists.

However, I don't believe this will happen.

Ms. Heaton’s tweets were well received:
This is a perfect example of today’s media. Rush to judge without the facts. God help us all.

What would really be great is if they don't repeat the mistake, and return to objective journalism. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Thank you for saying the right thing. Shocked by the comments of quite a few celebrities condemning them without knowing the full story. You are indeed a fine lady.

I’ve come to realize that most people don’t want to wait and hear both sides of stories. They want the drama. They want to vilify anyone/anything that has any resemblance of being in opposition to their thought process. Sad state that our country and the world has become 😢
