Shhhhhh! That’s one of the mainstream media’s best kept secrets. Liberal reporters often quote lapsed or practically-lapsed Catholics to prove that the “ultra-conservative” Pope or bishops are “out of touch” with their flock. The media loves CINOs.
The DLEMM - Dominant Liberal Establishment Mass Media - aka fourth estate is overwhelmingly leftist. Leftists aren't mainstream. There's no such thing as a "mainstream media".
