Christianity in the News- Fr. Stanley Harakas

"I spent half a day at my local public library to see just exactly what was going on. What I discovered was enlightening. I learned that you can no longer read what the magazines say uncritically. It is clear that behind every article there is an agenda. What the newsmagazines write is often no longer "religious reporting." What they sometimes write is becoming more and more "propaganda," and especially for some, "anti-Christian propaganda." Let the reader beware! Here is what I found in my unscientific review of Christianity as written about in the three major U.S. "news magazines" over the past few years."- Fr. Stanley Harakas, Orthodoxy Today

I'd also have to say be VERY careful about A&E and History Channel shows on Christianity and Christian History. I'd have to say they run 50/50 as being non-agenda driven. If I recall correctly, I really enjoyed the "Who Wrote the New Testament" series but some of the other daytime filler TV shows roll out the hardcore (but terribly played out) Christian anti-feminist, anti-mysticism, pro-imperialism, conspiracy theories. - Steve K
