Religious division as corporate policy - DISGUSTING

I hope that the population intersected by American (and now Canadian) Christians and Fox News viewers wakes up soon enough and that this dismal, awful spewer of covert and overt propaganda disappears one day. A former producer from Fox News says that (cough) "journalists" were regularly instructed to divide American media consumers - YOU - by invoking religion and questioning people's faiths. Can ya say fascist tyrants?

But what really separates Fox from the competition is its unabashed use of religion as a divisive weapon. Common sense -- and common courtesy -- have long dictated that personal religious beliefs be kept out of news reporting unless the story at hand involves religion. But on Fox, it's not uncommon for an anchor to raise the issue of a guest's religion, or lack thereof, a propos of nothing.

The most glaring example I can recall is a 2002 interview with a guest who had been cited for his charitable acts. At the end of the discussion the anchor said (paraphrasing here), "So I understand you're an atheist." The guest acknowledged that this was so. "Well," said he anchor, "we're out of time now, but I'd be glad to debate you anytime on the existence of God," and, with that, ended the segment.

Well, thanks for the invitation. How sweet.

That's the kind of information I need to know when I get home from work at 6 o'clock - does God exist? Yeah.
