Outrage Over 72 Hours Of Network Silence On Catholic Lawsuit Spreads To Other Christian Leaders<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Fury over the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts\u2019 continued refusal to report the lawsuits Catholic entities have filed against the Obama administration has spread beyond the Media Research Center watchdog group and Catholic leaders to nine additional Christian leaders equally concerned about this decision to deliberately not report national news. Below are statements released by FRC\u2019s Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer of American Values and seven more leaders.<\/p>\n

For the third night in a row the broadcast networks have refused to cover this correctly. This momentum is fueled by CBS Evening News\u2019 outrageous decision not only to spike the Catholic lawsuits but instead to lead the news with yet another story about the Catholic sex abuse scandal. The broadcast devoted two minutes and 31 seconds to the accused abusers and allegations that occurred decades ago. That\u2019s roughly eight times more coverage than CBS Evening News gave the historic lawsuit on Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
