DonoWho?
The only place Bill Donohue deserves to be seen is on a milk carton. The MSM continues its race to the bottom with the National Enquirer. I call it the Murdock effect: when a guy makes obscene amounts of money from tabloids and uses it to buy a media empire, he’s going to use the techniques that made him money. If he makes more money, all of the other media companies will copy the concept.
As Clif of Outside the Tent and American Street points out in Lies and the Lying Anti-Semites Who Tell Them, a minimum of checking would show the man isn’t much of a liar. But the MSM does no fact checking.
Trex at Fire Dog Lake demonstrates in Get Thee Behind Me, Demon Onion Dip!, the man attacks commercials.
Think Progress notes in Bill Donohue Defended Bush Catholic Outreach Staffer Who Was Outed As Sexual Predator, that if you are a male Catholic authority figure, you can expect Bill to be on your side, even if you are creep. This attitude has cost the Catholic Church millions in payments for lawsuits.
The media doesn’t mention any of this when they give Donohue access to the airwaves, nor do they address the real question: What gives William Donohue the right to speak for the Catholic Church, especially on matters of doctrine?
Update: I can’t believe that I forgot to include Echidne of the Snakes and her extensive research on Donohue’s enemies list.
