That is a timely reminder. We believe little of what the MSM and certainly CBS news and its ilk print and say in politics and that must also extend to religion.
Unless the statement is verified by CBS and Pat Robertson, it should be given little credence.
There is no telling how badly Pat Robertson’s statements could have been twisted beyond what he actually said.
I don't think anybody could accuse me of being a fan of Robertson.
But I am less of a fan of the MSM.
Until I know, in context, his actual words, I think it is safe to assume calumny...considering past performance of the AP.
CBS news website. Read the whole thing. I hope it is not true.
“. . . Robertson was asked what advice a man should give to a friend who began seeing another woman after his wife started suffering from the incurable neurological disorder.

The chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network, which airs the “700 Club,” said he wouldn’t “put a guilt trip” on anyone who divorces a spouse who suffers from the illness, but added, “Get some ethicist besides me to give you the answer.”
