I had seen this story, and I did wonder why I hadn't seen more coverage of it. Now I get it...apparently, 6 people criticizing a Catholic Bishop is more 'newsworthy' than 50,000 people protesting economic policies.Catholic League president Bill Donohue today accused the New York Times of showing a bias against the Catholic Church:
“In today’s New York Times, there is a 524-word story about six protesters who held a news conference on the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral criticizing the current New York Archbishop, Cardinal Edward Egan, and his newly named successor, Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan. On the opposite page, there is a picture of a demonstration at City Hall by union members; in a caption below the photo, there are 39 words explaining the event. But there is no story about it. Other New York newspapers said that ‘thousands’ showed up at the City Hall rally.
