The Center for American Progress partnered with Maria Shriver on lib, NBC promoted report.

Not only did NBC allow their special anchor Maria Shriver to promote her own report on “Nightly News,” they did it without disclosing that it was made in partnership with a group that liberal billionaire George Soros gave $7.3 million to.

In “The Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back From the Brink,” which was published on Jan. 11, an outspokenly liberal nun, Sister Joan Chittister, took aim at religious attitudes in America that “devalue” and marginalize women.

Shriver was invited to the White House on Jan. 14 to present her report to President Barack Obama, whom she promoted as being “sympathetic” to working mothers. On NBC “Nightly News” that same night, Shriver contrasted a supportive Obama against a Congress that is supposedly dragging its feet on the matter. "While President Obama has pledged to fix the problem, Congress has been slow to respond," Shriver said.

According to The Shriver Report’s official website, the report was “produced in partnership with the Center for American Progress.” CAP

Big business is convinced of long term “progressive” control and is attempting to pay “protection” money.

She continued saying, “As a result, women make up two-thirds of the hungry of this world. And women are two-thirds of the illiterate of this world. And women are two-thirds of the poorest of the poor, because they lack access to the resources and recognition men take for granted. That’s not an accident. That is a policy—one supported by religious institutions that call such discrimination ‘women’s place’ and “God’s will.’”

And you'll notice, Islam isn't mentioned by Sister Joan, though it is Islam she is describing; it certainly isn't the Catholic Church, though she probably would consider the Catholic Church to be horrible to women. These outspoken nuns tend to rail against the Church for 'holding women down', when their own expensive educations have been paid for by their orders, which are part of the Church. Ironic.
