Abortion yes; religious freedom, yawn

Mollie Hemingway at Get Religion, the religion in the news website, is ticked about the politicized naivete evident in press coverage of the Susan G. Komen/Planned Parenthood controversy. Excerpt:

It’s just so interesting to me that when millions of Catholics were read letters from their bishops about the HHS mandate targeting Catholic groups, it took days for a few stories to trickle out. When Susan G. Komen announces that roughly $700,000 in grants will be targeted to groups other than Planned Parenthood next year, it couldn’t be bigger news. There are thousands of stories already written. It says something about what the media prioritizes as well as what it considers sacred. There’s an almost religious fervor at play here. Looking at which stories capture that frenzy and fervor are interesting, no?
