The CBS film crew just finished shooting at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The focus of the story is the increased spiritual interest of college students and their involvement with Christian groups.

CBS shot the entire UW weekly meeting with fantastic footage of a classic Crusade gathering with students streaming in and hanging from the rafters. They also filmed an entire freshmen girls dorm Bible study. Two students were interviewed sharing how they left the party scene when their lives were changed by Jesus. Now they are leading Bible studies.

The feature is tentatively scheduled to run on Wednesday, November 1, on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. That is subject to change.

For the Love of God--Quit watching and posting from that trash and Boycott, Boycott, Boycott!!!!!!!

That's cool. Of course, CBS will figure out a way to ruin it.

CCC is a great organization. I was involved as a student and met my wife at a meeting the day after she was led to Christ by a CCC staffer.

Anything to fill time that might otherwise be devoted to the Kerry implosion.

Don't be fooled--if the Dems get back in power you won't see this kind of story again.

If she keeps this up, though, Katie might catapault CBS to Olberman-style ratings.

Depending upon how CBS decides to edit the final story...this potentially could really be a great thing.

CBS sees the writing on the wall - they will begin using all sorts of middle America topics to get viewers.

You calling my email list trash?

[airborne]

Why do I think this will just be used as a chance for Katie to bash Christians?

Lighten up, newbie.

I have a tough time believing that this will be anything but a hit piece. They can show what they want.... but then it will be Katie who spins it into something bad.

The same reason I do?
I hope it is a little fair and sorta balanced

Despite whatever they said while they were there, I doubt that will be their focus. I'm cynically inclined to think it will be more along the lines of, "Look at the kooks that are threatening your children when they go to college for a good liberal education."

I hope I'm wrong.

And votes?

Will Katie be apologizing for some of the 'offensive intolerant Christian views?'

More likely she will say the same thing she
allegedly said
after interviewing GHW Bush and Barbara.
"Can I throw up now?"

My thought exactly! Given the positive reading of the post, I hope it's author isn't disappointed tonight.

Although I don't have much faith in the probable spin of the story,
CBS may be desperate enough to [partially] listen to our advice.

To really write a good story, they will have to accept the fact they are biased, no one is can be 'neutral', everyone has presuppositions about ultimate reality. I'm not sure they realize or understand that.
