Selective media feeding frenzy

Rod Dreher has some interesting thoughts on his blog about the secular media's coverage of the Don Imus-Rutgers women's basketball team blowup. He doesn't support Imus at all for his stupid comments, but uses it as an example to point out how the media selectively decides who to go after. He and Catholic League president Bill Donahue point out how easily the Catholic Church has been bashed at times (comedians dropping four-letter expletives about Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II) and how those shows' companies chalked it up to "freedom of expression." Says Dreher:

As a professional matter, it would seem that Don Imus's problem is not that he's an unfunny bigot. His problem is that he's not bigoted against the groups our media overseers allow to be mocked with impunity.
