Washington, D.C. -- Media Matters for America today released "Left Behind: The Skewed Representation of Religion in Major News Media," a special report documenting the disparity between media coverage of conservative and progressive religious leaders. Since the 2004 elections, there has been a dramatic increase in the coverage of religion in newspapers and television across the country. This increase has overwhelmingly focused on conservative religious figures as the definitive voice of religion at the expense of the vast majority of religious Americans.

Great Information no wonder why, things are the way they appear. The US was founded under Separation from Church and State mainly because of whom religion would control the State? and they wanted to get out of the Control of the Church of England. Funny how one religious Icon Jesus was very Progressive not Conservative but then again its how one intreprates readings. I believe in a possible Distant Creator Theory. Great Information!!..
