ABC's '20/20' let Scientology trash Ron Miscavige - but here's what you didn't get to hear May 2, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

Mike Rinder predicted that this was going to happen. On March 20, he said that Scientology's response to Ron Miscavige writing a book about his son, church leader David Miscavige, would follow a familiar pattern.

Rinder predicted that Scientology would fight Ron's book by attacking Ron himself, "dead agenting" him, in Scientology jargon. As Rinder put it, the church would find a way to put out the message that "Ron is a failure at everything in life."

And that's what we saw Friday night during ABC 20/20 's special episode about Ron and Scientology. ABC's Dan Harris said that the church had sent him more than 120 videos of Scientologists praising David Miscavige and trashing his father.
