NewsBusters Podcast: Pro-Francis Media Had No 'God's Rottweiler' Obits

Since the 1980s, in the hearty middle of Pope John Paul the Great’s leadership, we’ve been writing about how the secular liberal media reports on the Catholic church.  If it helps the Left, it's happy news. If it opposes the Left, it's a horrible obstruction.

NY Times Hails Pope's 'Inclusion' vs. 'Doctrinaire' Conservatism

After Pope Francis died Monday morning, the New York Times started rolling out tributes to the pontiff at nytimes.com, plus a standard 7,000-word obituary by Jason Horowitz and Jim Yardley, current and former Rome bureau chiefs for the Times. Horowitz adored Francis as pontiff, and predictably hailed the left’s favorite pope as a force for “inclusion” against “doctrinaire”…

ABC Boasts: Pope Francis Bashed Conservatives, ‘Embraced Controversy’

ABC’s Good Morning America made Pope Francis into one of their own — a cultural progressive — on Monday by boasting “he often clashed with conservatives” over his “compassion for the LGBTQ community” and “wave of optimism” for everyone from immigrants to the poor to even Palestinians. And, of course, they made it about themselves too.

CBS Remembers ‘Inclusive’ Pope Francis By Touting Clashes With Trump

The death of Pope Francis provided the liberals of CBS News ample opportunity to boast about the liberal polices the pontiff promoted while also giving them a foil against President Trump’s staunch stance against illegal immigration.

NBC: Pro-Gay Pope Francis Moved Catholics ‘Away from the Culture Wars’

Between a Special Report, Today, and the 3rd Hour of Today, NBC pulled out all the stops Monday in its coverage on the death of Pope Francis, unsurprisingly heralding him as a man of the people in the left’s sense of the term for being pro-LGBTQ, “brought the Catholic Church...away from the culture wars and back to Christ’s basic message,” and waged “clashes...with...…

Democrats’ Bizarrely Misplaced Empathy

This week, Democrats decided to expend their quickly diminishing political capital in defense of a deported Salvadoran illegal immigrant named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia was deported to El Salvador some weeks ago; the Department of Justice initially admitted that his deportation was an “administrative error.” It turns out that Garcia had an order withholding removal to his home country, due…

Jonathan Karl SKIPS Murdered Md. Mom with Van Hollen, Welker Doesn't

ABC This Week host Jonathan Karl interviewed Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) on Sunday all about their favorite illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but Karl never mentioned the trial about the murder of Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin by an illegal alien. ABC clearly doesn't care about her family's loss -- and neither did the senator. He went to El Salvador for Abrego Garcia, but…

STUDY: Media Use ‘Maryland Man’ Lie 506 Times, Conceal Illegal Status

This past week, the Trump administration revealed more incriminating evidence about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien recently deported to El Salvador despite a withholding of removal to that country.
