Well.. the Post was up on the main page for a couple minutes, then moved.. That is the equivalent of a broadcaster saying in passing "We have just learned that John Paul II has passed, our prayers are with him." in my opinion.. I highly doubt that a sports broadcast would have a little ticker at the bottom throughout the broadcat saying "rest in peace Pope John Paul II"..
