<title>&#x3C;em&#x3E;NY Times&#x27;&#x3C;/em&#x3E; standards for Catholic League&#x27;s Donohue: Three articles for criticism of Edwards, two paragraphs for criticism of McCain  </title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200803020001</link>
<description>&#x3C;em&#x3E;The New York Times&#x3C;/em&#x3E; has devoted only two paragraphs and 102 words thus far to Catholic League president Bill Donohue&#x27;s criticism of Sen. John McCain for his failure to repudiate the support of evangelist John Hagee, who has made statements Donohue considers anti-Catholic, and McCain&#x27;s ensuing response. By comparison, the &#x3C;em&#x3E;Times &#x3C;/em&#x3E;published three separate articles on Donohue&#x27;s criticism of former Sen. John Edwards&#x27; presidential campaign for hiring two bloggers who Donohue contended were &#x22;anti-Catholic, vulgar, trash-talking bigots,&#x22; and the Edwards campaign&#x27;s subsequent reaction.  </description>

<title>Ignoring their own past, Beck and Donohue complained of &#x22;double standard&#x22; in discussion of religions</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200702280003</link>
<description>On CNN Headline News, Glenn Beck asserted that &#x22;[t]here is a double
standard in the world today&#x22;
for Christians, and Catholic League president Bill Donohue later asked, &#x22;Why is it that, you know,
other religions aren&#x27;t
held to the same degree of scrutiny?&#x22; In fact, both Donohue and Beck have a history of making inflammatory comments about
religions other than Christianity.

<title>William Donohue: entertainment industry&#x27;s smearing of Christians &#x22;somewhat analogous&#x22; to South African apartheid</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190008</link>
<description>On Fox News&#x27; &#x3C;em&#x3E;Your World with Neil Cavuto&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, William Donohue claimed that Comedy Central&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;South Park&#x3C;/em&#x3E; creators are using their popular television show to attack the Christian majority, which is &#x22;somewhat analogous to what we had in South Africa, where the majority of the people who were black were dumped on by white racists.&#x22; Donohue described those parodying Christianity as &#x22;secular supremacists&#x22; who &#x22;have it out against the 85 percent of the population that is Christian.&#x22;</description>

<title>William Donohue unleashed gay, black, Jewish stereotypes while speaking out against &#x3C;em&#x3E;The Da Vinci Code&#x3C;/em&#x3E;</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180007</link>
<description>On MSNBC&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;Scarborough Country&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, William Donohue, president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, argued that Christians are under attack by eight popular books, including Dan Brown&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;The Da Vinci Code&#x3C;/em&#x3E;. Donohue asserted that Christians have every right to be offended by books that are &#x22;hypercritical&#x22; of Christianity, just as other groups would be offended by a book that claimed that &#x22;blacks are natural-born killers, or that gays are naturally born to be moral slugs, or that Jews are taking over the world.&#x22;</description>

<title>Catholic League&#x27;s Donohue: &#x22;If you asked&#x22; some Hollywood actors &#x22;to sodomize their own mother in a movie, they would do so, and they would do it with a smile on their face&#x22;</title>

<description>On MSNBC&#x27;s &#x3C;em&#x3E;Scarborough Country&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, &#x22;there are people in Hollywood, not all of them, but there are some people who are nothing more than harlots&#x22; who &#x22;will do anything for the buck,&#x22; adding that, if asked &#x22;to sodomize their own mother in a movie, they would do so, and they would do it with a smile on their face.&#x22;</description>

<title>Conservatives quick to opine on &#x3C;em&#x3E;Brokeback Mountain&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x27;s &#x22;agenda,&#x22; slow to actually see film</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200601200005</link>
