Special Report Documents Skewed Representation of Religion in Major News Media

Conservative Religious Leaders Far Outnumber Progressive Leaders in Media Despite Views of Most Americans

Report available online at: http://www.mediamatters.org/LeftBehind

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.

Hello Helen Thomas. Who do you think killed President Kennedy? You & I were in Washington, DC during the same period. You may understand this situation better than most. Have you ever written your thoughts about who killed JFK? I work with a TV film crew who would like to interview you on this issue in August 2010. Please pick an hour & day. Thank you, Paul Kangas, former guard for JFK Veteran of the 1962 invasion of Cuba. Email: paul 8 kangas @mac.com. Youtube: paul8kangas
