Jeanine Pirro provided a textbook demonstration of media bias against the Catholic Church during her stint as a substitute host for CNN Headline News's "The Joy Behar Show on March 29. Pirro never gave her guest a chance to defend the church and interrupted him six times within 1 minute, 59 seconds.
Pirro is a former Westchester County, N.Y., district attorney and judge who now hosts the TV program, "Judge Jeanine Pirro." She also appears on network and cable news programs as a legal analyst.
First, she stacked the deck. Pirro hosted a panel discussion about the recent allegations that Pope Benedict XVI failed to act when confronted with evidence about priests sexually abusing children. Of the three panelists, only Catholic League president Bill Donohue defended the church. The other participants included Kevin Cullen, a Boston Globe reporter who was part of the investigative team that broke the 2002 story of the Boston diocese covering up sexual abuse and Jeffery Anderson, an attorney who has filed thousands of suits against the church since 1983.
Pirro told Anderson he was "right" in one instance, and then proceeded to call one of Donohue's argument's "hogwash," despite the fact that The New York Times backed up the claim that Benedict, as a cardinal, did not know that a priest in Germany accused of sexual abuse was transferred and allowed to serve in another parish.

I detest the left.
Pirro should be in jail for the way she ran the Sex Crimes Unit in NYC. Look up Jeff Deskovic.
I can not figure out why the left even cares whether or not Catholic (or any minister) has sex with a child, after all they want that taught in schools that sex is ok anytime anywhere. They embrace the homosexual agenda.......really they are so hypocritical.
She is a perfect example that “there are more horse’s rear ends than there are horses”..
The Joy Behar Show?
I would rather have a root canal...
Pope John Paul II was one of the “Architects of Freedom” that brought down their beloved Soviet Union.
They certainly don’t see any big conspiracy to supress reports of sexual abuse in our public schools or even by Planned Parenthood when minor girls report that they have been criminally impregnated by adult males.
I caught about 2 minutes of one night. She’s mono tonal and devoid of any sense.
I don't have enough self loathing in me to watch that.
The problem is gays, not the church. The church needs to publicly state going forward, the church will not allow Gay priests. Watch the left scream bloody murder.
One remarkable and enduring characteristic of the Left is a complete lack of class. It’s Holy Week.
I wouldn’t be surprised if CNN chose to run a ‘Everything you ever wanted to know about Islam’ special right on Easter Sunday.
I don’t watch CNN. Persons like Behar and Pirro are just some of the reasons why.
The Church has... in effect. In a very clearly worded document about five years ago, homosexual inclination isn't disqualifying necessarily. However, there can be no hint of homosexual practice.
And yes, heads exploded.
There was a murder in Westchester County back when Pirro was in charge. A bum laid in wait in a parking garage for the stated purpose of killing a white woman. The bum was black. Pirro declined to prosecute a hate crime. I can’t remember the names involved. She’s a useful idiot.
These left-wing nuts are at their best when accusing their definition of “radicals” of hate speech. They are the most hateful of radicals...and too blinded by hate see it.
