[See NewsBusters for more.] Good Morning America journalist Terry Moran on Monday hailed Pope Francis’s “unforgettable” meeting with the “revolutionary” Fidel Castro. Moran also skimped on coverage of protesters who spoke out. The reporter gushed, “An unforgettable moment: The Pope meets with Fidel Castro, the 89-year-old revolutionary and a Pope who is shaking up the world, too.”  Moran found time to note that Francis “celebrated mass with a huge image of Che Guevara, the famous atheist communist rebel looming above it all.” Yet, his mention of protesters was awkward and brief. First, the journalist noted that children “loved” seeing the Pope. He then added, “As Francis arrived at the square, a protester tries to reach the Pope. A brief encounter and then he gets dragged away.”
