The INTERVIEW where I asked people if they heard the story, what they thought about it, and what they would do if it happened in their church - that was on Resistance Feed and, yes, just like every other article that is posted here that originated on another website, I sourced it even though I posted the full content here.

But that interview was not the story that Geller published. It was simply me asking Methodists if they had heard about it, what they thought about it, and what they would do if it came to their church. Asking someone if they have heard a story without me commenting on whether the story was true or not and then asking them a couple of follow-up questions about how they felt about the story is hardly suggestive of a lack of journalistic diligence.

And unlike other websites and blogs who posted the Geller story, I actually went to people in the Methodist Church and asked them what they thought about it instead of vilifying everyone associated with the Methodist Church as though they were now Islamic-propaganda tools. I even said in the blurb written above the interview that I thought it had to be a single, isolated event headed by one person and that it was not representative of the entire Methodist church.

I also posted an excerpt to the Geller story in the news section here on FR, so when people here accuse me of spreading a fake story, I assume that’s what they’re talking about because the interview happened regardless of the validity of the Geller story and it gave voice to Methodists who were being painted as brainwashed Islamists.

You should consider a career with a Federal Agency.

Or perhaps as a Press Secretary for a Democrat Congressman.

Bless your heart.
