MSNBC Smears Christians
Catholic League ^ | January 17, 2024 | William A. Donahue

Ms. Rashida Jones
President, MSNBC
30 Rockefeller Plaza, Bldg. 620
New York, New York 10112

Dear Ms. Jones:

Recent anti-Christian attacks by MSNBC hosts and guests demand a vigorous network response.

On January 16, MSNBC guest Tara Setmayer, representing the Lincoln Project, smeared Christians when she referred to them as a “death cult.” She also accused evangelical Christians of being a national liability. “Not only have they failed America, but they’ve failed Christianity.”

On January 15, MSNBC host Joy Reid complained that Iowa has too many “white Christians,” saying they are overrepresented “in the caucuses.” She attributed to them the conviction that “everyone who is not a white conservative Christian is a fraudulent American, is a less-real American.”

If a guest or host on MSNBC said that Muslims are a “death cult,” there would be repercussions. If it were said that Jews have failed both America and Judaism, there would be repercussions. If it were said that atheists believe that everyone who is not a non-believer is a fraudulent American, there would be repercussions.

Why have there been no repercussions regarding the anti-Christian remarks made by MSNBC guests and hosts? Bigotry against any demographic group should never be given air time on television.

I would appreciate a response to this serious issue.

Sincerely,

William A. Donohue, Ph.D. President

I’m sure Donahue will get Rashida to care about anti-Christian bigotry. /sarc

Indeed. The only fake Christian I see on MSNBC is Joyless Reid.

I wouldn’t waste two seconds of my life giving a damn about anything someone named “Rashida” has to say about anyone.

We chant this every Divine Liturgy:

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And this, while not a Catholic hymn, addresses the issue:

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little Word shall fell him.
That Word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox: stand together!

MSNBC’s lingo is the prelude to genocide.

Given enough time and demographic shifts they will go for a Night of the Broken Glass type event against them.

Joy Reid is black. And anyone that disagrees with her is obviously racist. But she feels the need to tell everyone that she is black. Damn, I ain’t blind.

But you do see that she is black. She tells us everyday that she must be right because of her blackness. And white folks are wrong because they are white. I am sure that is what MLK had in mind when he “had a dream”. //NOT//

It’s Islam that’s the death cult.

I’ll accept the death cult smear. I died in 1969.

Don’t you love it when Atheists are always telling Christians what the Bible says.
