Newspapers, bishops and children

The Sunday after the demonstration on Saturday, June 8 in opposition to the upcoming legislation The Sunday Independent did not carry a report on the large demonstration.

Surely poor journalism?

In a statement by the Catholic bishops of Ireland on the same legislation the opening paragraph runs: "On Saturday last, tens of thousands of women, men and children gathered in Dublin to express their support for the equal right to life of mothers and their unborn children."

Do the bishops see nothing wrong in using the demonstration of children to support their argument?

Might the bishops need better PR advice?
