That the alleged “Fair & Balanced” Fox News is a propaganda vehicle for the conservative positions of the Catholic Church isn’t a surprise given that, along with the many Catholics in the ranks of *Fox hosts, there is a conservative Catholic near the top of the Fox News hierarchy. John Moody, Fox News Executive Vice President and executive editor is a staunch conservative Catholic who once wrote an article about how offended he was by Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s black liberation theology. And as Fox’s top RC, he used the alleged Fox News show “America’s Newsroom,” today, to discuss Pope Benedict’s resignation and, in so doing, positively gush over the awesomeness of the Pope. Alleged news host and conservative Catholic Martha MacCallum shared the love.
In introducing Moody, fellow Catholic Martha MacCallum noted that he wrote a biography of Pope John Paul II and interviewed the current pope. Moody, who wrote an article for the Fox website, “As Vatican Leader, Pope Benedict Never Had a Chance,” was just bursting with praise about the outgoing pontiff. He said that the resignation “was one of the bravest things I have ever heard of” and that this “reflects the kind of man and the kind of leader of the Church that he insisted on being.” (Right, offered an apology and not penalties for sexual abuse.)
