Regarding Bishop Chaput and press bias against religion

Bishop Chaput and others don't want to hear it, and his first comment on this topic included unfortunate language, but Mark Silk is exactly right:

I've spent the better part of two decades studying, writing about, and contributing to news coverage of religion. As in any other field of endeavor, there's the good, the bad, and the ugly. And that means the field can be cherry-picked to make a case for hostility to one or another religious tradition, or to religion in general. But with the exception of certain cult-like groups (the Church of Scientology, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, etc.), across-the-board bias is not to be found--and certainly not against the Catholic Church.
