Evangelical News--As Bad As Fox

From Light Up The Darkness

We've talked about biased right wing media. We've talked about the right wing religious groups campaigning for Bush. Columbia Journalism Review ties the two together with a story of evangelical Christian groups forming an "alternative universe of faith-based news."

This alternative universe contains many fake news outlets, such as USA Radio Network, described in this manner:

USA Radio Network, for example, ran pieces produced to sound like news stories, but with a single conservative perspective. One segment, based solely on an interview with the former CIA analyst Wayne Simmons, reported that Osama bin Laden spent years laying plans to destroy America, only to have them thwarted by a tough-talking Texan. “He never planned on running into a president with the strength, character, and conviction of George W. Bush,” Simmons said. “If George W. Bush wins the presidency, his fate — meaning Osama bin Laden’s fate — is sealed. If John Kerry wins, he’ll go back to business as usual because he knows he’ll have another administration in there where he did nothing and let them plan attacks on us.”

Much, much worse. They are MUCH more right-wing biased, and use their supposed position as arbiters of morality to back up their lies.

Pat Robertson's POS sewage network it the absolute WORST. He is more evil than Cheney.

They guy has slaves working in African diamond mines for him for Chrissakes!

so that's why we captured him and roasted him on a spit at the Crawford ranch last week! My God what planet are these people living on?

I thought faux was evangelical news.

I like that! Hopefully we'll be seeing more of that word pairing in the future!
