Media Bias Never Stops

The ABC News headline reads, "Gay Catholic School Teacher Fired for Wedding Plans." Well, not really: he was fired for breaking a contract he voluntarily signed. Michael Griffin, who taught at a Pennsylvania Catholic school, said his principal didn't care that he was gay, but when he publicly announced his "wedding" plans, he made a conscious decision to flout his contract. So he was canned. Does ABC allow its staff to violate their contracts with impunity?

The USA Today headline reads, "Catholic Women Ordained Priest and Deacons in Kentucky." Well, not really: the old gals were simply playing the game of pretend—dressing up like priests and pretending they were ordained in the Catholic Church. Some in the asylum think they are the pope. Will USA Today do a story on them as well?

The Dayton Daily News headline reads, "Ex-Dayton Priest Faces Prosecution." Well, not really: turns out that the "priest," Annamalai Annamalai, is a "self-described Hindu high priest." Readers were intentionally invited to believe he was a Catholic priest. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was more accurate: it called him a guru.

The CNN headline reads, "Catholic College Police Officer Kills Student After Off-Campus Traffic Stop." Has anyone ever seen a headline that reads, "Jewish College Police Officer Kills Student After Off-Campus Traffic Stop"? Yet CNN used the same words, "Catholic College Police Officer," in its headline both yesterday and today. But would CNN ever run a story titled, "Catholic College Police Officer Saves Student Lives"?

The hostility exhibited by the media to Catholicism has no rival. Every day there is something new. And they wonder why their credibility with the public is at historic lows.

The gay population in the press is greater than 10%. Far higher than the general population.

The same is true of the entertainment industry in general.

its getting more vile because Catholics (which I am one of) let it be like that rather than band together....they (Catholics) look at Bill Donahue as the kook rather than the hypocrisy and bile in the media as the enemy...

The editorial staff of the NY Times is 75% homosexual.

Homosexuals cluster.

I do not use the word ‘gay’ in context of homosexuality. They stole the word and its meaning. I won’t give them its usage when it comes to describing their sick and creepy viewpoints.

You have to pay people to be as big a bunch of behind-kissers as our media is for the Democrats. There’s money involved.

I've been pushing that concept for a long time, but I am frequently told that it won't work. Hey, nothing works unless it's TRIED!

HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.

to be fair, the story about the Catholic police officer shooting the guy.....the officer was a “catholic College” police officer, he may or may not have been Catholic himself.

The media knew how the story would be taken, they didn’t care.
