Anti-Religious Bias

On Wednesday's Legal View, CNN's Ashleigh Banfield deplored part of Mississippi's new religious liberty law. Banfield played up that "there was one other piece of language...it's odd....The law in Mississippi protects from discrimination claims from anyone who believes....that sexual relations are reserved solely for marriage." She asked legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, "Does that mean that cake-…

So, because I apparently wronged God at some point, I was tasked with watching the worst television show ever Tuesday night.  You know it as The Real O’Neals.

Tuesday night, CBS and NBC went full-on attack mode against Mississippi’s newly passed religious freedom bill, HB 1523. The law, designed to protect religious business owners, like wedding vendors, from violating their beliefs about marriage, came under attack from liberal groups like the Human Rights Campaign and ACLU. Two of the three networks were only too happy to let these gay rights…

CNN's Don Lemon acted more like a socially-left activist than a journalist on Friday's New Day, as he moderated a panel discussion on a proposed religious liberty law in Mississippi. Lemon twice misrepresented what the law actually says, and asked a LGBT activist, "Religious liberty — is that just a code for discrimination — I don't want to provide services to certain people? Isn't that just a…

Si usted cree, como yo, que la libertad religiosa es uno de los derechos más fundamentales que tenemos, hay algo que usted puede hacer este fin de semana o durante el transcurso de esta primera semana de abril para defenderla. Vaya a ver la película God’s Not Dead 2 (Dios no está muerto 2).  La película aborda un tema de gran actualidad. 

Days after he smeared the Last Supper as bland and ruled the didn’t blame Judas for betraying Jesus, NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers spent over seven minutes early Thursday morning viciously berating and decrying conservatives backing religious freedom laws in Georgia and North Carolina as segregationists alongside Christians, Chick-fil-A, and North Carolina Republican Governor Pat McCrory.

All too happy to give a hand to those opposed to religious freedom laws, the CBS Evening News continued to play its part in chastising those in favor of religious freedom and so-called bathroom bills with North Carolina’s version being “roiled by backlash, boycott threats, and bigotry allegations.”

On Monday’s evening news broadcasts, all three networks praised Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal's decision to veto a religious liberty bill, devoting three minutes and 56 seconds to the topic. The networks emphasized how major companies like Disney threatened to pull their business from the state, because it was “discriminatory” towards gays. NBC’s report was by far the worst of the bunch, hyping…

Three years ago, Mark Finkelstein at NewsBusters noted how Google was subject to a torrent of criticism for devoting its March 31 special-occasion redesign of its logo, otherwise known as a "doodle," to the 86th anniversary of farm workers' leader Cesar Chavez's birthday. March 31 was also Easter Sunday that year. Finkelstein noted that even hardened MSNBC liberal Mika Brzezinski sided with…

As part of his weekly segment entitled “Ya Burnt” where he rifts on various topics, NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers found it pertinent in the early hours of Good Friday to mock Jesus Christ and Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of the Last Supper that was so dull in the eyes of Meyers that “[n]o wonder Judas dropped a dime” on Jesus.

We all know that Hollywood is bigoted and anti-Christian all year round, but they seem to take particular delight in flipping Christians the bird during Holy Week, the week between Palm Sunday and Easter. From corruption in the Catholic Church, to mocking Christians' concept of God, to stripper nuns, here are the top 5 most shockingly blasphemous scenes that aired on network TV this week. 

Last week’s episode of You, Me, and the Apocalypse, “Savior Day,” brought out the very worst vision of the Catholic Church, presenting a group of cardinals engaged in a grand conspiracy against their own parishioners, and Christianity as a whole. Tonight’s episode, “Calm Before the Storm,” wasn’t any better. When news breaks that Operation Savior, a desperate attempt to force the comet off its…

In almost identical fashion to their hysteria concerning the defeat of transgender bathroom bill in Houston from November, Thursday’s CBS Evening News painted quite the doomsday scenario for Georgia and North Carolina over their respective religious freedom bills as the newscast argued they could lead to massive boycotts and the loss of billions of dollars in business.

One way liberal media reporters who cover the Supreme Court subtly skew their coverage in a liberal direction is by focusing on a given Court case through the lens of the how it impacts the government or how it would deal a "blow" to a liberal policy agenda, not how it impacts the rights of individuals who claim injury to the constitutional liberties. The Wall Street Journal's Jess Bravin and…
