Pope Francis

After Pope Francis died Monday morning, the New York Times started rolling out tributes to the pontiff at nytimes.com, plus a standard 7,000-word obituary by Jason Horowitz and Jim Yardley, current and former Rome bureau chiefs for the Times. Horowitz adored Francis as pontiff, and predictably hailed the left’s favorite pope as a force for “inclusion” against “doctrinaire”…

ABC’s Good Morning America made Pope Francis into one of their own — a cultural progressive — on Monday by boasting “he often clashed with conservatives” over his “compassion for the LGBTQ community” and “wave of optimism” for everyone from immigrants to the poor to even Palestinians. And, of course, they made it about themselves too.

The death of Pope Francis provided the liberals of CBS News ample opportunity to boast about the liberal polices the pontiff promoted while also giving them a foil against President Trump’s staunch stance against illegal immigration. In their break-in and CBS Mornings newscast, the network spent a lot of their Monday morning boasting about how Francis “try[ed] to make the Catholic…

Between a Special Report, Today, and the 3rd Hour of Today, NBC pulled out all the stops Monday in its coverage on the death of Pope Francis, unsurprisingly heralding him as a man of the people in the left’s sense of the term for being pro-LGBTQ, “brought the Catholic Church...away from the culture wars and back to Christ’s basic message,” and waged “clashes...with...…

Apparently the recently deceased Pope Francis is the patron saint of "Mother Earth." At least that’s what the climate Armageddon-obsessed TIME magazine is trying to argue.

Some people might be inclined to roll their eyes whenever someone says, “Imagine if they said that about Islam,” but such a hypothetical was warranted on Thursday’s edition of After Midnight on CBS. Host Taylor Tomlinson welcomed a trio of drag queens to her late night “comedy” game show to equate Catholicism with “brain rot” and exchange other bits of anti-Catholic and anti-Christian…

In a segment on Biden's commutation of the death sentences of 37 federal prisoners, CNN's Rachel Solomon calls Biden a "devout Catholic" and suggests his faith played a role in his decision. Dem aide Hyma Moore claimed that Biden cares deeply about his faith, and that led him to this decision. No mention of why that faith doesn't extend to protecting the lives of utterly innocent, unborn…

When NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers decides to not do a “Closer Look” segment where he turns his show into MSNBC, one possible routine he does instead is to bring out show writer Amber Ruffin for “Amber says ‘What?’” where she naturally says “what” in various tones and voice inflections. On Tuesday’s show, Ruffin responded to GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance by claiming she…

On Wednesday’s edition of The Late Show on CBS, host Stephen Colbert reported that he will be part of a group of 105 comedians from 15 countries to travel to the Vatican for a meeting with Pope Francis, but before he does that, he lamented, “Pope Francis is less pro-LGBTQ than NASCAR.”

At long last, CBS aired its special featuring anchor Norah O’Donnell’s interview of Pope Francis which, as predicted, ran through the entire leftwing media policy pupu platter. A substantial portion of this interview was devoted, predictably, to the…

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell delivered this evening’s newscast from Rome, and her interview with Pope Francis featured heavily within the newscast. But if the early tease is any indication, O’Donnell devoted the interview to the reheating of the media’s same old talking points regarding the Catholic Church.

Conservative taxpayers fund PBS and find themselves presented as the focus of evil in the modern world. On Ash Wednesday, the PBS show Amanpour & Co. focused on the Catholic Church and Pope Francis, especially how some "very, very dyed-in-the-wool conservatives' are forcing a "backlash" against "what the Pope has done for the LGBTQ community."

Slot him into the media’s “Strange New Respect for Religion” category: Pope Francis, beloved by liberals for his “progressive” tack toward the LGBTQ movement -- and hostility toward conservative Catholics. PBS Weekend was the latest to genuflect toward the “social reform” minded (i.e. liberal-pleasing) pontiff on Saturday.

The Peacock Network is doing quite the bit of peacocking over Pope Francis’ decision to bless same-sex couples. There is no change in doctrine, but NBC cheers the change in perception and speculates that it may lead to a change in doctrine down the road.
