Not papal bull but personal bull

In today's Irish Times Michael Ross's 'RTÉ needs to challenge the papal bull' argues that the station gave undue amount of time to the resignation of Benedict and the election of Francis.

Obviously Michael Ross does not watch German television, BBC or Channel Four.

The election of Francis received wall-to-wall coverage on ARD, ZDF, n-tv, N24, arte, MDR and all the main German radio stations.

BBC interupted its schdule to cover the event and on more than two evenings BBC2's Newsnight had it as its top story.

CNN and CNBC also turned its cameras on the Vatican. As did RTV - Russian Television.

Papal bull or just bull?
