As opposed to Protestants and Jews? You are describing human weakness and failing. What does Catholic have to do with your point. Say it. You know you want to. Come on. Out with it.

I already did. There appears to be a good ol' boy network of eastern, nominal Catholics at Fox News' soft news programs and weaknesses threof would seem to show up in:

Hannity's support of Giuliani

O'Reilly's and Cavuto's programs (and the overall M.O. of Fox News) to show soft porn images repeatedly, at the drop of a hat -- or skirt.

General philosophical stances and conflictedness in cultural issues (we don't want the left, but we don't like to declare the actual standards and live by them).

If there seemed to be an old boy network of Mississippi Pentecostals, they would have different idiosyncracies, I'm sure, but the topic was Hannity's very unfortunate support of Giuliani -- and I added the infamous semi-naked women matter that Fox News has been scolded for, repeatetdly, but folks including Laura Ingraham (and me, here).

But, if you want to read something else into what I wrote, I won't stop you. :-|

Hypocrisy is everywhere. Neither Catholics nor Mississippi Pentecostals have a monopoly. You skate on thin rhetorical ice when you start attributing a specific failing to any religious group.

FOX News is based in NY and the conservative movement in NY has been heavily Catholic for more than 40 years. In 1964 the 28 members of the Youth For Goldwater board of directors consisted of 24 Catholics, 2 Jews, 1 black Protestant, and 1 white Protestant. He was the head of NY Young Democrats for Goldwater!
