As Twitchy told you earlier, NY Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan’s closing benediction was the DNC speech of the night. Predictably, mainstream media outlets didn’t want viewers to see it. Twitter users made their displeasure known:
#nbc cut off the #dnc feed before cardinal Dolan gave the closing prayer…rude.

Hey NBC, thanks for cutting off Cardinal Dolan with the local news. Can't wait a few more mins to spin?
— KReyes (@TheLovelyLadyKT) September 7, 2012
And NBC just cut away from Cardinal Dolan. FAIL #DNC2012

Drat. They were about to have Dolan give #dnc benediction as NBC cut over to local news. Really wanted to hear it.

So is Fox the only one carrying Ab Dolan's closing prayer??? NBC didn't.

MSNBC talks over Cardinal Dolan's benediction, what a shock!

And there's the bias…Fox News shows Cardinal Dolan's benediction, CNN keeps it in background, MSNBC cuts audio/video.

@SereDoc Had the same thought…CNN didn't cover Cardinal Dolan's prayer/speech either.

How did ABC News do?

And the official #DNC2012 feed cut him off, too:
#DNC2012 live stream didn't air Cardinal Dolan's benediction. Thanks for censoring
