One by one, Catholic dioceses in key presidential swing states are putting out unusual statements: Newspapers whose titles include the word Catholic that are showing up in peopleās mailboxes arenāt what they seem and arenāt connected to the church.
A headline in the Wisconsin Catholic Tribune, and repurposed in other statesā versions, provocatively asks, āHow many āsex changeā mutilation surgeries occurred on Wisconsin kids?ā Another: āHaitian illegal aliens in America: What are Harris supporters saying?ā
The papers, which have also appeared in Arizona and Pennsylvania, are what academics call āpink slime.ā The name comes from a filler in processed meat ā or a product that is not entirely what it seems.
Using tax documents and business filings, ProPublica traced the papers to a Chicago-based publishing network led by former TV reporter Brian Timpone. His enterprises, including Metric Media, are known among researchers for peddling misinformation and slanted coverage. The network has received money from right-wing super PACs funded by conservative billionaire Richard Uihlein, founder of the mammoth shipping supply company Uline.

Who's mailing swing state voters a 'Catholic' newspaper? It's not the Church.
