News:
American Life League fights back the next business day! This interview with Neil Cavuto is from 4/21/08:
This is a typical television report/commentary reaction about the pope-bashing comments Maher made. Despite many channels and networks being owned by TimeWarner, FOX manages to push through the liberal media's gag order and deliver the right message on most of the TimeWarner cable systems. Some news stations refused to cover the topic, not because of bias or TimeWarner mandates, but because it would mean airing the offensive language again to properly report the story, and they were concerned about offending their communities.
