Anti-Catholic bias is apparent in reporting by state broadcaster RTÉ

There seems to be a strong anti-Catholic bias in RTÉ, sometimes it is very subtle and on occasions it is quite aggressive in language and tone.

The sad story of the young woman with an unwanted pregnancy was the opportunity for RTÉ to rehash the abortion controversy with the finger pointed at the cruelty of pro-life people and consequently the church.

The recent announcement of cardinal Sean Brady’s retirement was an occasion for RTÉ to reissue the old and monotonous anti Brady story, no mention of course of the good works of Ireland’s leading churchman.
