Le' Blogatory Backlash
I see some secular-minded bloggers heavily resenting that the Pope received as much attention as he has. The coverage does seem chivalrous given our irreverent age and of this backlash I can't say I'm surprised. But the media is good at building up and then tearing down, so if the non-believers are patient within a couple weeks the MSM will be tearing him down.
MSNBC, which is by far my favorite network (though I do regularly watch O'Reilly), is in a bit of a no-win situation. Many on the left and right have already retreated to media bunkers: NPR or NRO, CNN or FOX. I once thought that media ghettos were a big mistake but now I'm more sanguine about it. Life's too short to have to deal with a news source that you can't trust or is not concerned about what you are concerned about. Life's also too short to be reading purveyors of hate but then see my blog title.
