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.

You do not have a RIGHT to have the media cover your new world Godless religion.

Oh, Honey, you are living in a Theocracy, there is no freedom of speech nor is there a free press! Every time that progressive religion or Freethought are mentioned on tv you will have the slant of the Religious Reich splattering it.

Wake up. If you are not one of 'them', you are not to be counted.
