"Real meaning of life...stuff" - Daniel Jackson

Holy Shit!  Follow this link and watch this clip: http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/2007/02/protest_1.html

I had no idea that CNN stands for “Convert Non-believers Now!”

I have no commentary to add to what's out there, except to mention that the last shred of the hollow pretense of the "MSM" being liberal has gone out the window with this report.  How do you have a panel on athiesm with not one single athiest on the panel, and with a banner in the background that comes right out and blames athiests for "inspiring hatred" against themselves?

Here's a link to another couple of videos where they try to make up for it by having Richard Dawkins and another panel that includes an attractive and articulate athiest:  http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/2007/02/atheism_1.html

Better, but still the banner behind "Are athiests morally compromised?"  FOX news must be so proud that their "smear by questionmark" tactic has become so popular.

(thanks Ben for e-mailing me the links to the videos)

PZ Meyers had an excellent take on this - http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/02/i_had_no_idea_cnn_had_gotten_t.php

While I find PZ too extreme, in this case I agree with his final idea.

"It convinced me of a couple of things. I apparently have not been militant enough, and am going to have to work harder at aggressively promoting godlessness. And I'm adding CNN to my list of news agencies to ignore, along with Fox."

The weird part? CNN has been too 'right wing, religous, spin America first" for years. I just can't watch it. And I get the toned down international version...

Ben,

I've seen it as heading that way gradaually, but it's jumped in with both feet in the past couple years. And now, it's just flag waving, chanting, and the occasional five-day marathon of angst about what will happen to Anna Nichole Smiths body.

ugh.
