Religious Equality. Why do news stories concerning alternative religions get little media coverage?

To answer your question, it is the same reason why they portray Christianity( especially Catholics) in a biased and unfair manner.The news media is not religion friendly, be it traditional religion or not.The media always seems to portray religion as a bad thing which only cause bad things. As a Christian, i am offended by the anti-Christian sentiment in the news, but I am also offended by the negative image of Muslims and New-Age religions. As I have good friends who practice this religions, it is very personal when the NEWS decides to make huge generalization or pretty obvious lies as fact. This leads me to believe that other religions that I do not know much about are not as they seem on the news.

Religion, in its many different forms, is such an important part of many peoples lives that the media really should portray it more accurately. That story about the wife of the Pagan soldier really pisses me off, the nerve of Bush.

right that could be an excellent one. The CDC became robbed and reportedly lacking approximately 22 million in desktops and undisclosed kit only till now the massive TB scare. remember that one? The CDC tale became hushed up. It did no longer even make television only one headline on Yahoo information and it became claimed to be an interior job. It became additionally on no account disclosed in the event that they found out who did it or what they took. What appropriate to the "gut feeling" Michael Chertoff had? What ever exceeded off to that? Oh yeah what appropriate to the Operation Noble Eagle troops that have been deployed to Washington DC. That became on no account on the information. It basically got here out in a newspaper. That became additionally appropriate to the comparable time the nukes went flying over the U. S..

1) for the same reason that there is no pagan/wiccan tv channel, unlike say, the fortune 500 show. The main stream religion is christianity in america, so that is what main stream television will cover, that and christians tend to do stupid **** since there are so many intolerant christians out there.

This is true, it seems that the only time Pagans and Wiccans get any coverage is around Halloween when suddenly there's a spate of "human interest" stories about "real witches" as if it's such an oddity.

Actually, I saw both those stories on Yahoo and read the first one in the NY Times.

But I agree that there is not much coverage of non-Christian stories and WAY too much coverage of Christianity. You can barely read a single story without there being a mention of God in it.

The media goes where they think the news is. Nobody cares about the millions of Christians in church on Sunday, but if even one shows up outside an abortion clinic it's news.

The media assumes we're all fringe. I'm fringe, but many pagans and wiccans are normal, everyday people.

Sorry, but I don't see those as really being "mainstream news worthy" stories.

Besides, your religious symbol has now been added to the VA's list.

The President, personally called and agologized to the widow, for the oversight of her not getting invited to meet him.

Probably, to avoid some conflict between the religions.

Don,t feel bad,I,m a Christian and I never see media say anything about religion of any kind,I think they are anti-religious,
