The folks at the right wing Media Research Center have their clean white (and very chaste, Christian, and heterosexual) panties in a bunch because the godless librul media had a “blackout” of news about supposedly rampant sex selection abortion and the “unprecedented” and totally awesome lawsuits filed by the Catholic Church against the Obama administration. But in keeping with promoting all the right wing news that’s fit to propagandize and making the MRC happy, Fox News has been obsessing about HHS mandate, the lawsuits, and “genderside.” Despite the claim of the network to be “fair & balanced,” the coverage is squarely on the side of the Catholic bishops whose anger towards Obama rivals the most rabid in the GOP. In the coverage, Cardinal Dolan has received pride of place. But interestingly, there’ve been some other news stories, related to the Catholic Church on which the voices, in the Catholic amen corner of Fox, are silent. Put it this way, if both issues concerned – say – teacher’s unions, the howls would be deafening. Curious, read on. …
In response to the release of source documents by “The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests” (SNAP), who accessed the material, Cardinal Dolan, who is leading the fight against employer paid birth control, reacted in truly Christ like fashion: SNAP has no credibility whatsoever. To respond to charges like that that are groundless and scurrilous in my book is useless and counterproductive.” One assumes that Megyn Kelly pal, Catholic League head Bill Donohue will continue to defend Dolan against those nasty boys in SNAP whom he has described as a “phony victims group” and a “pitiful bunch of malcontents.” Dolan has made his appreciation, for Dolan’s support against SNAP, known in a letter of thanksgiving. Meanwhile Fox is focused on those awesome lawsuits, filed by the bishops, against the Obama administration. Go figure.
Guess not all Catholic News is created equal.
