Blackout: Why Won't TV News Talk About NY’s New Abortion Law?

January 29th, 2019 1:19 PM
It’s been a full week since the state of New York legalized late-term abortions, yet none of the major national TV networks has bothered to mention the story. This deafening silence is in stark contrast to the alarmist coverage seen when a state passes legislation that the media see as curtailing “abortion rights.”

New York Times Wrong on Cardinal Dolan

October 17th, 2016 11:55 AM
The editorial in today's New York Times, "Victims of Priests' Abuse Face a Choice," must be challenged on several counts.

CBS Hounds Catholic Bishop on 'Landmark Document' on Homosexuals

October 15th, 2014 3:50 PM
The CBS This Morning anchors stayed true to their reputation of playing softball with liberal guests, while badgering conservative/traditional ones with their Wednesday interview of Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Norah O'Donnell raised the much-hyped midterm report from the bishops' synod underway at the Vatican, and wondered, "How groundbreaking is it for the Catholic Church to raise even that question…

Federal Judge Vindicates Cardinal Dolan, Hysterical New York Times Goe

August 12th, 2013 6:51 AM
A federal judge has ruled that the creation of a cemetery trust fund in 2007 by then-Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee – the subject of a lot of hysterical coverage a month ago in the New York Times – was a completely legitimate and warranted financial transfer. "Because these funds were held in trust as prescribed by canon law, they were independent of the general…

CBS Bizarrely Wonders if Pope Francis is 'Breaking With The Vatican

July 30th, 2013 5:28 PM
Monday's CBS Evening News offered the usual biased coverage of religion, and specifically, the Catholic Church, as it reported on Pope Francis' widely misrepresented remarks on homosexuals. Dean Reynolds' only talking head was a former priest who apparently "quit the priesthood...after he felt the Church intended to purge gays", and even wondered if the Pope was throwing out Catholic teaching…

CBS Hypes 'Staunch Conservative' Pope Francis; Rose Hounds Dolan on Wo

March 14th, 2013 1:56 PM
CBS wasted little time to play up newly-elected Pope Francis' "conservative" views on issues like abortion, same-sex "marriage", and birth control. On Thursday's CBS This Morning, Norah O'Donnell underlined how the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was "described as a staunch conservative". Mark Phillips also used the "conservative" label, and pointed out how the Pope's doctrinal stand has "not…

February 20th, 2013 7:35 AM
James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal had fun with liberal journalists calling for a female pope in his Best of the Web Today column on Tuesday. Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne wrote a piece for the Sunday paper insisting: "It is time to elect a nun as the next pontiff." Dionne acknowledged that "this hope of mine is the longest of long shots," but Taranto added "if he were Catholic…

Comparing Catholics Ryan and Biden, WaPo Columnist Chides Pro-Life 'Fo

October 10th, 2012 11:11 AM
In her October 9 column “Ryan v. Biden: the Catholic ‘Thrilla in Manila,’” Washington Post “She the People” columnist Melinda Henneberger made a common journalistic error when discussing the Catholic Church, introducing a false dichotomy between “liberal” Catholicism’s emphasis on social issues and “conservative” Catholicism’s emphasis on pro-life issues. Predictably, she came down hard on “…

Anti-Catholic Media Claim Paul Ryan is Not Catholic Enough

September 3rd, 2012 11:04 AM
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan is a Catholic – but not a good enough Catholic in the eyes of the media. Writers, bloggers, and talking heads have hammered Ryan for his supposed “dissent” from Catholic teaching. Journalists have falsely claimed that the bishops “rebuked” Ryan and called his budget “un-Christian.” Writers who usually scorn the Church and its hierarchy fretted…

CNN Thinks Cardinal Dolan Is Playing Politics at the RNC; Forgets He I

August 24th, 2012 1:10 PM
CNN foolishly asked if the head of the U.S. Catholic Bishops was playing politics by giving the benediction at the Republican National Convention, leaving out that the same Cardinal Timothy Dolan recently invited President Obama, along with Mitt Romney, to a high-profile Catholic event, the Al Smith dinner. "Is this a big play to help shore up Paul Ryan's Catholic base?" anchor Don Lemon…

CBS Presses White House on Catholics' Anti-Obama Lawsuit, But No On-Ai

May 23rd, 2012 6:03 PM
The Big Three networks' evening newscasts have all but punted so far on the 12 lawsuits filed on Monday against the Obama administration, challenging the abortifacient/birth control mandate which is part of ObamaCare.

ABC Skips Catholic Lawsuit Over Birth Control Mandate; NBC Allows 20 S

May 22nd, 2012 11:49 AM
ABC on Monday and Tuesday completely ignored 12 major lawsuits filed by Catholic groups over the Obama-imposed birth control mandate. NBC allowed a mere 20 seconds to the topic.

MSNBC's Jansing Touts Cardinal Dolan for Stance on Immigration, Slams

May 2nd, 2012 11:58 AM
The liberal media love the Catholic Church when it publicly makes pronouncements that tend to favor liberal Democratic priorities. Not so much when the Church seeks to guard its doctrine and discipline deviations from orthodoxy. So it's no surprise that MSNBC's Chris Jansing touted Cardinal Timothy Dolan this morning for "taking aim at Republicans over immigration policy" only to turn around…
