The leader of the controversial Church of Scientology routinely physically attacked members of his management team, according to former executives, a Florida newspaper has reported.
Defectors from the controversial organisation who spoke to the St Petersburg Times told the paper that David Miscavige was "constantly denigrating and beating on people". Mike Rinder, the church's spokesman for decades, said he was attacked by Miscavige some 50 times.
"It was random and whimsical," he told the St Petersburg Times. "It could be the look on your face. Or not answering a question quickly. But it always was a punishment." the rest

Finding people who have a biased anti-Scientology agenda, getting them to make unproven (and unprovable) claims about Scientology, and then printing their gossip uncritically is hardly a legitimate journalistic expose.
It's a smear job, plain and simple, motivated by religious bigotry. A scummy attempt at character assassination.
Using the same dishonest techniques, anyone could write a similarly deceptive three-part expose about Obama, McCain, Clinton, Bush, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, Starbucks, Walmart, Madonna, Prince, Frank Sinatra, Lindsay Lohan, Mother Theresa, the Pope, or anyone else famous who has generated their share of cowardly irrational haters in their time.
Can't we all just get along?
