Mainstream Media Ignores ! Million Strong World Youth Day In Madrid
August 20, 2011

Posted on 08/20/2011 9:09:38 PM PDT by Steelfish

With well over 1 million youth gathering for a three-day celebration of prayers and liturgical worship from countries the world over, it now seems clear that the mainstream secular and pro-abortion and pro-homosexual media have chosen to ignore the resounding and perennial message of the Christ brought to life again by the successor of St. Peter. Shame on these bastards.

Maybe they’re just not interested in mobs of youth. They ignored the mob at the WI fair too.

Just in badly behaving youth.

BTW, they are all there to see one man. The press would be interested in that fact if it were a celebrity, and there is no celebrity who could even draw such a number.

Plus it is newsworthy in that there are many who could not get in to the mass, as protesters are so numerous.

Most of these kids raised thousands of dollars on their own primarily to be with the Pope, and they’ll end up missing the chance due to the protesters.

And the will MOT cause a riot.

Well, of course the catholic press is reporting it.

They are also reporting the mainstream press’ non coverage.

It’s not a diatribe. It’s a “chat” and hence no need for a link. If you have something positive to contribute to the main theme that the msm is ignoring this or if you wish to dispute this please do so but don’t digress by a link to a Catholic New Agency that has nothing to do with the theme of the chat.

Let’s see... a cursory examination shows CBS, the AP, Telegraph, USA Today, WSJ and papers all over the U.S. running stories about the Madrid meeting.

And of course it’s right here on FR World News and Views too so how much more coverage is called for?
