The nice thing about having a Democrat in the White House is that there is no bad news...

...such as the largest suit ever by religious institutions against the American government.

Mollie at Get Religion compares the media treatment of the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to stop paying Planned Parenthood with the media treatment of the Catholic lawsuits against the HHS mandate:

It led the news that night. A decision by a women’s breast health charity to stop giving a few hundred thousand dollars a year to the nation’s largest abortion provider was massive news. And the stories that were done — for instance, by ABC, were just horrible. ABC’s report ran for three and a half minutes.

So earlier this week, one of the largest religious lawsuits in American history was launched. For all I know, it may be the largest religious lawsuit ever launched in history. It involves, as savvy readers probably know by now, 43 Catholic dioceses, schools, hospitals, social service agencies and other institutions. They all filed suit in federal court to stop various government agencies from implementing a mandate that would require them to cover contraceptives, sterilization and some abortion drugs in their health plans.

How many minutes did ABC World News give this story when it opened the broadcast with this news? Well, it turns out that they didn’t open their nightly news with this lawsuit. That’s understandable, I guess. I mean there were other major stories they featured, judging from their Twitter feed, such as “Meet the First Lady of Facebook: Priscilla Chan,” and “Yemen Suicide Bombing Death Toll Nears 100” and “Dharun Ravi Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail.” I don’t know which story they led with, if any of those. Maybe someone who watches that program can tell us. But it wasn’t the religious liberty lawsuit.

So where did the religious liberty lawsuit get placed in ABC’s nightly news and how long did it run?

I’ll let you guess on placement before we find out the answer. Did you guess?

You are 100% correct: They didn’t get around to mentioning it. On Monday or Tuesday. At this point, I’m just wondering how someone who gets their news exclusively from ABC World News views the world. I don’t really watch network news (I save up my TV time for important stuff such as Community and Top Chef) so I don’t know the answer to it, but it’s just really interesting to me.

The media bias has gone beyond absurd.
