AP, NPR Erroneously Tag Westboro Baptist as 'Fundamentalist' Church
Today's Supreme Court ruling in Snyder v. Phelps is proving to be yet another occasion for the media to falsely describe the homosexuality-fixated Westboro Baptist Church as a "fundamentalist" congregation.

Al Sharpton Guest Voices Limbaughesque Opinion on First Lady's Do-As-I
Radio guests -- they say the darndest things.
One has to wonder if the Rev. Al Sharpton would have invited journalist, publisher, radio host and academic Karen Hunter on his radio show Feb. 24 had he known she would chide first lady Michelle Obama in remarks not far removed from criticism of Mrs. Obama by Rush Limbaugh.
