On July 3, a New Jersey radio station, WKXW-FM, reported a story about the arrest of a Protestant minister for possessing pornographic pictures of young boys. The newscaster, Mary Jo Powell, opened her remarks with the following quip: “This time not a Catholic priest.” After a protest from the Catholic League, news director Nick Alexander rewrote the story by deleting the cheap shot and aired the revised version later in the day.
