...The "Christian" right's attack on "NYPD Blue" in the early 1990s, on the other hand, was a complete failure. It initially scared off some marketers but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't sell to religious nuts anyway...

Is anyone else outraged about this "reporter's" choice of words?

You notice the article didn't talk about the Bill Maher Affair.

Outraged is not the word. I am seething. How dare he call me a religious nut. People, we need to call, write to cbs and complain about this outrage.

"religious nuts"

I caught that too. The dope is willfully ignorant. When good people who want to maintain some morals and object to things thought distasteful isn't that they're being nutty.

It's pitiful when people like this guy with a broken moral compass have such contempt for what they haven't got a clue.

Apparently enough people were outraged by the religious nuts label to convince cbs to edit them out of the article. The link originally posted no longer works, but the edited article is still on the front page and reads:

The "Christian" right's attack on "NYPD Blue" in the early 1990s, on the other hand, was a complete failure. It initially scared off some marketers, but the program's ratings and demographics were so good that it attracted business from sectors that don't expect to sell to those folks anyway -- including movies, beer, cosmetics, designer clothing, etc.
