"Pelosi-Gate" covered by major media; CNN "imposes blackout"
Catholic bloggers (and bisohops) have been on this story for the past week, but the mainstream news outlets are finally catching up. Some major coverage so far:
- Pelosi gets unwanted lesson in Catholic theology, by Rachel Zoll. Associated Press.
- Pope Pelosi at the Gate, by Kathleen Parker, Washington Post.
- Pelosi’s abortion comments provoke Catholic criticism Reuters.
FoxNews devoted an entire segment of their 'Special Report' program to the story.
Unfortunately, as NewsBusters observes, CNN placed a total news blackout on Nancy Pelosi’s misrepresentation of Catholic teaching and history on abortion and the subsequent reaction from several prominent Catholic bishops and from pro-life politicians.
You would think when eleven (and counting) bishops of the Catholic Church single out the Speaker of the House by name in a public rebuke on abortion, it would warrant a mention.
