More Hatred of Christians in the Media??

NPR reporter Rachel Buchman says a conservative Christian group "should all burn in hell."

- December 4, 2004 -

 

        From family.org, a web site from Focus on the Family, the group founded by Dr. James Dobson:

        NPR reporter Rachel Buchman, from WHYY in Philadelphia, resigned after leaving an angry voice-mail message on the machine of a conservative lobbyist. On the message, Buchman said,

"I wanted to tell you you're evil, horrible people. You're awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you, and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye."

        Chris Carmouche, the publisher of laptoplobbyist.com, on whose machine Buchman left the message, commented,

"We want people to know that this is not an isolated incident. People have to realize there's not just a media bias, but in many cases there is a media hatred, toward anything conservative, Christian, or traditional."

 

        For more on this, here is a commentary from Michael Smerconish, a lawyer, author, and talker on WPHT 1210 AM in Philadelphia.
