If "BYU News Network" (hereby hypothesized news outlet) would have reported on Rudy's twisted (he obviously did not learn anything in parochial school) upbringing and obviously checkered history (the man is an adulterer and a fornicator) and drag the history of the Catholic church out on long documentaries of the Inquisition, the scandals at the Vatican, the Cadaver Synod and other historical snippets (one of my favor ones) the backlash would have been huge. Not to mention the accusations about bigotry and lack of PC. I bet a couple of LDS chapels would have been fire-bombed.

I think it is sad and worrisome.

The wisdom of today's media is sensationalism and not news.
