CNN and religion.
Is it me or does there seem to be more ads on CNN for Bible DVD's and CD's with Christian hymms. What's that all about? I have also notice they seem to have dumb down features about religious issues that seem to slant towards the relgious right. Are they becoming the Christian News Network???

1. "Our GOD is an AWESOME GOD!!!!!"
As far as I remember it's always been there. Fucking annoying as, shall I say, hell?

2. During the Pope's death and selection of new Pope, they were the
Catholic News Network.
(Keep calm, I'm a Catholic!)

Personally, I perfer The Daily Show's take on it "This Week in God" complete with Jon Stewart's sound effects.

4. I wished George Soros and Ted Turner would get together.
And buy back CNN. If not then start a new news network.

5. I don't think there's more now than in the past.
I never pay attention to what chanel is on, but they've been advertising them for years. Sometimes the ads are more frequent when they issue a new one. I notice one ad today that was a 2 CD collection, and I don't recall seeing this one before, so maybe you're just seeing the initial release ads.

10. it's always been pure propaganda
I stopped watching television during the first Gulf War when it became apparent it was pure propaganda. My significant other made me get a TV in the house in late 2000, but I'm still not interested in their lies.
