Here's something else we need to remind everyone. Fox News has not identified their free publicity of Rick Warren with disclosure that the parent company News Corporation owns both Fox News and Warren's publisher, Zondervan.

Whoa!

Creepy on wheels!

I remember the days when Zondervan was a Christian publishing house, before they got absorbed by secular corporations. Seems like that's getting to be SOP for Christian "companies" these days.

Seems like I don't think very much of the practice.

Murdoch made his money in the English tabloids, which are so "out there" that they make the American tabloids look like the Old Farmer's Almanac by comparison. They'd probably have to be sold "behind the counter", in "plain brown wrapper" if sold in this country, if you get my drift.

There is a not very subtle irony in the spectacle of a guy who's involved in what might be called soft-core porn, also being at the helm of a "Christian" imprint.

Sad, very sad. And in a certain sense, frightening.

I wasn't even aware of the ownership connection until someone here at FreeRepublic said something about it. Now it makes sense that recently they have been doing TV specials on Fox News featuring Rick Warren and his books. Talk about cheap conflicts of interest. At least CBS discloses their own conflicts.

I am very disappointed in the Fox News downward spiral of late. They are adding liberal Democrat panelists (attractive blondes, I might add).

Whoa, that is shocking information. Like I said earlier, my friends were asking "why" Fox was paying so much attention to this guy at this time.

Offtopic, but it brings to mind Murdock supporting Hillary at a fundraiser this past summer. Things are definitely not what they may seem.
