The Catholic cable community EWTN and Franciscan College are holding a convention on “Journalism In a Publish-Reality World” on Friday and Saturday in DC, on the Nationwide Museum of the Bible. I used to be invited to convey our perspective to how media bias distorts the information. Regardless of naming our web site NewsBusters, we wish to be pro-journalism, however a lot of the media-elite product is not reporting as a lot as it’s messaging.

We cope with bias by fee — these blatant makes an attempt to place out Democrat speaking factors and name it “information.” Nevertheless it’s bias by omission you’ll want to fear about. What are we not being instructed? When Democrats are in energy, there are going to be tales and scandals they do not need anybody speaking about. All the pieces relies on what is useful to Democrats, and avoiding what is just not useful.

One apparent instance was the networks skipping Lawyer Basic Merrick Garland being grilled by Republicans. That is one among a number of latest hearings by Republicans they attempt to keep away from. However then NPR rotated days later and promoted Garland flying to Ukraine to talk out in opposition to Russian conflict crimes. They keep away from the unhelpful angle, after which NPR’s reporter received on a aircraft to assist Garland sound like a hero.

The identical factor occurs in protection of the Catholic Church and the Pope. When Pope Francis talks about local weather change and the depredations of capitalism, he is seen as useful. However, if the pontiff argues in opposition to abortion or transgenderism, that is seen as not useful, so that they’re extra more likely to skip over these remarks.
