Meet The Press Roundtable To Feature Christian Broadcasting Network Blogger»

brody.jpgThinkProgress has learned that this Sunday’s edition of NBC’s Meet the Press will include a journalist roundtable featuring David Brody, a blogger and news correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network. CBN was founded in 1961 by religious right leader Pat Robertson.

NBC analyst Chuck Todd is also booked for the segment, ThinkProgress learned, and other journalists are likely to be added. The problem is not Brody’s appearance on the program per se, but rather that Meet the Press has an established record of featuring more conservative journalists than progressive journalists during its roundtables.

As Media Matters documented in its report, “If It’s Sunday, It’s Still Conservative“:

While overall most journalist guests were centrist or nonpartisan — either centrist columnists like David Broder or neutral reporters for major news organizations — those that had an identifiable ideology were far more likely to be conservative. […]

[D]uring this two-year period, conservatives outnumbered progressives [on Meet the Press] 35 to 25. The other two shows conduct weekly roundtables that consistently favor conservatives.

We’ll be watching to see if a progressive is booked to balance Brody.

Digg It!

    Hey Tim Russert…
    If Brody is qualified to appear on Meet the Press, then so am I.

    As the Internet’s Chronicle of Media Decay, I think I can bring a unique voice to your program - one that is rarely represented and much needed.

    I expect to receive my invitation for an upcoming broadcast as soon as it can be scheduled. Send it to me c/o News Corpse.

    Either book me ASAP or stop booking hacks like Brody who have even less credibility than the proverbial bloggers in pajamas.

  20. the fly-man Says:

    Does anyone who really follows the news, specifically the Libby trial, actually believe that Tim Russert or the producers of MTP have any credibility left? Seriously, the corporations just want more ad dollars and I’m sure they have noticed a shift post Libby trial and are looking to replace their old discriminating viewership. The conservative movement has given up anyway. They now admit that political expediency trumps principle when it comes to retaining power, plain and simple. So more pork for every Chrisitan tribe!

    How about not even bringing up the religious affiliation?

    “those that had an identifiable ideology were far more likely to be conservative. […]”

    I don’t believe that. Muslamoids have an “identifiable” (whatever that means) religion, yet they would probably vote overwhelmingly democratic.

    If religion won’t dominate or be any part of the discussion on Sunday’s debate, it’s pure bigotry and it’s utterly pointless to bring up religion here.

    CT V_1,

    “Muslamoids” - Talk about bigotry.

    There is a point to bringing up the religion here. Many in this country feel left out of the political dialogue because they do not subscribe to any of the big religions. When was the last time a known atheist was invited on a MSM Sunday talk show to discuss policy? Imagine what the uproar would be from the Christian community if this did happen. But the same shows make a huge deal out of bringing on Christian leaders all the time. You guys are always screaming about how the ‘liberal media’ wont balance out for you, shouldn’t you be pushing for a balance here as well?

    Schizophrenia and Personal Revelations

    by Mark Smith

    I believe that schizophrenia is a better and simpler explanation for all the people- past and present- who have claimed that Biblegod spoke to them. Occum’s Razor demands the simplest explanation, and this explains the “revelations” of the Apostle Paul, the Apostle Peter, and religious fanatics a lot better than that the omnipotent ruler of the entire universe took the time to come down here and chit chat with these fanatics.

    Like the Blues Brothers, the Apostle Paul believed he was on a “mission from God” (Acts 26:19) because of a “vision” he saw. Before you laugh at this, Michael Abram, the man who stabbed ex-Beatle George Harrison, also “thought he was mission from God” when he did so (Orange County Register, 7/5/02, p. News 21). It turns out that this man was a paranoid schizophrenic. Schizophrenics see visions, hear voices, and regularly talk to Biblegod (or so they think). This would explain the visions and voices mentioned in the Bible. Mental illness, and not “The Lord God Almighty Omnipotent Ruler of The Universe” is behind all of the hallucinations.

    What Would Jesus Do?

    Advocate child abuse and murder amongst many other cruelties.

    Christians are always claiming, “he’s the lamb”, “our savior”, “the king of peace”, “the embodiment of love”, amongst the many other names they associate with a loving, merciful nature. Jesus a nice guy? Not in my book. Nor in any other person’s who is capable of compassion and rationality. Let’s examine who the hell the Jesus character really is. These verses will show not only is Jesus’ “loving” nature a joke but so are the Christians who worship him. Jesus’ real mission to come to earth:

    Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has “come not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34

    Jesus says, “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace on earth! No, rather a sword lf you love your father, mother, sister, brother, more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. “The real beauty of this verse is that Jesus demands people truly love him more then they love their own family. I ask you how can we love someone that we can not see or interact with? Love is an emotion pertaining to physical existence not to faithful ideologies, yet God threatens you with Death just because your love for your mother maybe stronger than your love for him. Matthew 10:34

    Families will be torn apart because of Jesus. “Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.” Matthew 10:21

    Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn’t the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. Matthew 5:17

    Jesus condemns entire cities to dreadful deaths and to the eternal torment of hell because they didn’t care for his preaching. Matthew 11:20

    Jesus, whose clothes are dipped in blood, has a sharp sword sticking out of his mouth. Thus attired, he treads the winepress of the wrath of God. (The winepress is the actual press that humans shall be put into so that we may be ground up.) Revelations 19:13-15

    The beast and the false prophet are cast alive into a lake of fire. The rest of us the unchosen will be killed with the sword of Jesus. “An all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” Revelations 19:20-21

    Jesus says he is the only way to salvation yet he purposely disillusions us so that we will go to hell:

    Jesus explains that the reason he speaks in parables is so that no one will understand him, “lest . . . they . . . should understand . . . and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Matthew 13:10-15

    Jesus explains why he speaks in parables to confuse people so they will go to hell. Mark 4:11-12

    Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He defends himself by attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to the commandment: “He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.” Matthew 15:4-7

    Abandon your wife and children for Jesus and he’ll give your a big reward. Jesus asks that his followers abandon their children to follow him. To leave your child is abuse, it’s called neglect, pure and simple. Matthew 19:29

    Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law. Mark 7:9

    Jesus says that those who have been less fortunate in this life will have it even worse in the life to come. Mark 4:25

    Jesus sends the devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. Clearly Jesus could have simply sent the devils out, yet he chose instead to place them into pigs and kill them. This is called animal abuse. Mark 5:12-13

    Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13

    Luke 12:47 Jesus okays beating slaves.

    One thing is missing. Resources. Where did you get your resources from?? mmm…let me think. Oh, OTHER COUNTRIES!!! Yes!!! Ask the United Fruit how much have they ripped from Central America, ask your corporations how much copper they extracted from Chile, how much minerals and organic products they have extracted from Brazil, Peru and Columbia.

    “TP has no business bashing Christianity. Again, two wrongs don’t make a right.”

    My point was in that you bash someone who called for a certain policy on the principle that Zues told them it was right. We all need to bash people who use absurd fairy tales to back up their policy ideas. Religion is the one area of discourse that opur society has decided is off limits. SCREW THAT!!

    We can bash people for their political beliefs, but not their religious ones. (Oh that right, you guys are fine with that as long as we are only bashing Muslims) I simply refuse not to call a spade a spade. If your kneel down and pretend that a cracker is actually the flesh of Jesus (nevermind the obvious the cannibalistic problems inherent in this philosophy) I’m gonna call you a whack job and suggest that you need therapy.

    “Atheists claim to know more than is humanly possible.”

    Atheist claim stupidity or ignorance where there is no evidence to support a good conclusion. Religion does not do this. They try to fill in all scientific gaps of knowledge with God. Then inevitably, science proves them wrong again.

    Atheist demand evidence and reason, believers don’t need or demand any of that. Faith is their get out of jail free card when they run out of reason.

    There are differing degrees of agnosticism. I would agree that I too am technically agnostic. But if we put agnosticism on a scale of one to ten - one being a dyed in the wool faith head, and ten being a dyed in the wool atheist, I’d consider myself a nine. I come to this conclusion because I see no good evidence for being anywhere on the other side of this scale.

    If you believe that there is an omnipotent being in the sky that created all reality, and that he/she/it listens to and sometimes answers your wishes, then that is a scientific hypothesis that deserves some evidence to back up the claim.

    Read Cosmos by Carl Sagan, Atheist Universe by David Mills, and The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. They answer all of these questions you’ve plagerized and more.

    They answer nothing with psuedo-science and outdated darwin theory

    The reality is that because you cannot fathom billions and billions of years of anything, much less infinity, you think that it isn’t plausible. The problem with your premise it that it’s not about you. You’re a fraction of a second in an eternal realm of mass-energy that can neither be CREATED nor destroyed… Billions of years of a universe evolving, and all you get to experience is a few decades in the middle of it, and think that it’s somehow all about you… LOL. You crazy Christians are so silly.

    Absent a credible mechanism, the transformation of a fish into a human being is nearly as miraculous as the creation of man from the dust of the earth.

    Religion is to provide answers to the unanswerable.
