Christian leaders, whether speaking from the Holy See in Rome, the stages of America’s mega church multimedia wonders or the meanest, rusting music-stand pulpit of storefront inner-city chapel, all decry what they see as the growing bias of secular media toward believers.
And, in part, it’s true. As a long-time journalist myself, I’ve seen mere ambivalence toward faith that once characterized the typical American newsroom fray. Today it’s not easy to miss the disdain, sometimes even thinly veiled hostility toward faith. That said, there is always a danger to dismissing an entire industry (or faith) for the attitudes and actions of a few.
