MEDIA ANTI-RELIGIOUS BIAS
The AP ran an “investigative” story that highlighted the amount of coronavirus aid Catholic dioceses and parishes received through the Paycheck Protection Program. Catholic leaders blasted the article’s anti-religious bias. “The government cannot forcibly shut down churches and schools, and then single them out as disqualified for aid while providing billions to every other institution, business, and charity,” said Brian Burch of CatholicVote. “To even suggest so reeks of shameless anti-Catholic bigotry.”
