Just Another 'Crazy' Creationist

If tonight's Sunday show on New Zealand's TV One is anything to go by, as in the US of A it's not only rapidly becoming, or rather has rapidly become, un-politically correct these days to be a Christian - correction, a Bible-believing Christian - but is moreover becoming only too apparent that before all that long anyone failing to sign off upon the much-touted and ever-lauded mantra of 'evolution, first, last and always', will be consigned to the funny farm, as it used to be known. But hey, how much easier to discredit someone's opposing world view when you set up ye proverbial straw man and then immediately get stuck into the work of demolition. It's a thoroughly dishonest approach to journalism, but quite frankly one all too commonplace in Western media these days - especially in what was once so endearingly known as 'God's Own' (i.e. land, to those from elsewhere unfamiliar with such a designation). I can well remember - and being a writer upon my high school newspaper for four of five years, and Editor during my final year, I do consider myself well-qualified to judge what reputable journalism is all about - JUST WHAT the essential qualities of good journalism always have been, presently remain, and arguably ever will be, i.e. objectivity and impartiality and providing a well-balanced approach to said subject-matter, whatever it may well be. And, you guessed it, tonight's show failed on all three counts. But no, it wasn't altogether a great surprise. But as far as critiquing in-depth said show, I really don't know quite where to start, but perhaps will post extra comments tomorrow. Sincerely Yours Another crazy - I mean, spaced-out and then some - Christian
