A Sept. 11 CNSNews.com article by Michael Chapman reports on how “Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said he will not march in the 2015 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City.” The article is almost exclusive filled with quotes from Donohue; Chapman apparently couldn’t be bothered to contact any parade organizers for their response to Donohue.
Another thing Chapman couldn’t be bothered to do: Disclose that his boss, Media Research Center chief Brent Bozell, is on the Catholic League’s board of advisers. The MRC loves to hide Bozell’s connections to right-wing Catholic groups.
Remember, Chapman is CNS’ managing editor. The fact that such a high-ranking official would write an article that is completely one-sided and lacks fundamental disclosure tells you all you need to know about journalism standards — or the lack thereof — at CNS.
