It would seem that ABC's The View has gotten the ire of Catholic League president Bill Donohue over a show on this past Friday.
The discussion was on male nannies and Rosie O’Donnell had said that she would never hire one to take care of her adopted children, to which Barbara Walters asked her, “Are you worried about homosexual tendencies? Is that what you are saying?”
O’Donnell: “No, pedophilia has nothing to do with homosexual”
Walters: “Oh, pedophilia.” Source
Anyway, later on in the discussion O'Donnell asked Walters if she would have hired a male to watch her daughter as she was growing up. Before Walters could answer, the other show host ( Joy Behar ) interrupted with the comment, “A priest perhaps?” It is said that O'Donnell just made a face and that the audience busted a gut over it.
I guess that this just pissed little Bill off so he now will begin a public relations blitz against Barbara Walters since it seems that no one at Disney-ABC Television Group and others within the company has bothered to reply to his stupid rants in the past.
Bill Donohue: “It is obvious that Barbara Walters is begging for a fight with Catholics. Consider it done. Over the past year, the Catholic League has registered several complaints with Walters, who is co-owner of the show, executive producer Bill Geddie, and Anne Sweeney, co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney-ABC Television Group. None has replied. While the anti-Catholic bigots have either been Rosie O’Donnell or Joy Behar (today’s culprit), the person most responsible for allowing this unrelenting assault on Catholic sensibilities is Walters.
“Accordingly, beginning in mid-June, we will commence a public relations campaign against Barbara Walters. When we’re finished, so too will be her once stellar reputation. Today was the last straw.”
As is with the Christian Right, if this is what a Catholic does ever time they are criticized, we are all screwed.
