The Unqualified Qualify

Submitted by Michael (United States), Mar 29, 2009 at 15:14

It is my understanding and experience that when the news media fills the post of religion reporter, they very purposely choose a candidate that virtually knows nothing about religion; ironically,that is actually a qualification for the job. In particular, a believing Christian is disqualified for the post of religion reporter regardess of credentals and education. One of the few exceptions is Lauren Greene, the religion reporter for cable Fox News who is not only a professing Christian but a highly knowledgable and objective one at that.
