Except when the MSM wants to discredit YEC or Biblical literalism
Can you give me an example or three where the MSM has done so?
I honestly don't remember seeing such.
If you think the MSM is YEC or Biblically literalist, you must live in a different universe.
The MSM "went ape" when JPII declared evolution "more than a hypothesis" and again when Jesuit George Coyne claimed that G-d did not design him.
Don't worry. I live in the same universe as you do. But if you think the MSM are supportive of orthodoxy, you haven't been paying attention.
As for JPII supporting evolution, I remember that the MSM got the reporting on that completely wrong. IIRC, they indicated that he, all of a sudden, became a Darwinist.
In fact, in the speech (Italian version) that generated the MSM reports, he said, Consequently, theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the spirit as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person.
While that does not make him a six day creationist, he was far, far from a Darwinist.
Unfortunately, Fr. Coyne was unable to grasp that concept and he was fired from his position at the Vatican Observatory for that little error in judgment.
See what I'm saying?
