Delta stupidly falls for the hype and thinks people care what Bill Donohue has to say:

While many of us were busy fighting smaller battles, the Catholic League has been following up on its promise to campaign against Jon Stewart for his vagina manger segment. And not in vain, it seems, because Delta Airlines has pulled its advertising from The Daily Show.
In a press release, the Leagues president, Bill Donohue, said, I encourage everyone to choose Delta the next time they fly. We need to support advertisers who act responsibly. BuzzFeed confirmed with Delta spokesperson Leslie Parker, who said, We are constantly evaluating our advertising strategy and at this time no longer advertise during The Daily Show but denied that the decision had anything to do with any opinions expressed by the show.
Nonetheless, the Catholic League is pleased, and is already moving to add pressure on its next target: Kelloggs:
Donohue encouraged boycotting the companys cereals.

Jon Stewart has no such history.

(3,596 posts)the sooner the last dirt is thrown onto the grave of the Roman Catholic Church the better off the world will be. Most American catholics are more in line with other mainstream christian traditions such as the Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, etc.
Unfortunately the church the Papi Bennie and the Jets leads is an anachronistic fossil that has no relevance today and should be put out of its misery.
