Newsweek's Attempt to Smear Potential SCOTUS Pick Amy Coney Barrett Fails Spectacularly.....
Newsweek published a story on Monday where the author claimed a Catholic group potential Supreme Court pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett belongs to was the inspiration for "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It turns out that was not the case.
Newsweek has since changed the headline to "How Charismatic Catholic Groups Like Amy Coney Barrett's People of Praise Inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'" due to the fact Atwood has never specified which group was the inspiration for her book, which went on to become a series on Hulu.
The publication then inserted the following correction:
"This article's headline originally stated that People of Praise inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'. The book's author, Margaret Atwood, has never specifically mentioned the group as being the inspiration for her work. A New Yorker profile of the author from 2017 mentions a newspaper clipping as part of her research for the book of a different charismatic Catholic group, People of Hope. Newsweek regrets the error."......snip~
