O'Reilly on the Niederauer scandal
A few observations:
- He claims that the Catholic Church is doing an internal investigation of the incident and "doesn't want the police involved" at this point. I haven't heard about that elsewhere.
- O'Reilly mentions the apology, and actually blames the mayor of SF, Gavin Newsom, for the incident because, O'Reilly claims, he refuses to take actions against homosexual lobby groups. This accusation seems to be part of a general O'Reilly (FOX?) invective against the "power structure" of SF.
- O'Reilly mentions that there has been a virtual media black-out on the story, while claiming that if such an incident had occurred in a synagogue or mosque it would be all over the place. I have to say, I've been waiting to hear some reports, but haven't heard a peep. Anti-Catholicism: the last acceptable prejudice.
Update 2: Roman Catholic Blog has some valid criticisms of the segment here.
