The Corner

Re: Knights

By

NPR “Morning Edition” anchor Steve Inskeep interviewed Tom Roberts, editor of the “progressive” National Catholic Reporter yesterday. (Oh, sorry, NPR didn’t care to label the liberal guest, even as he distinguished between “social justice issues” and abortion.) Inskeep began by noting: “President Bush is in Dallas to address the Knights of Columbus in Dallas, a conservative Catholic group with 1.6 million members.” Last week, NPR couldn’t find an ideological description for International ANSWER, the mangy radical America-haters. They were a “national group.”
