I don't think so. CNN and CBS are 2 examples that will twist any story
to make Christians look bad or conservatives the same way at every
opportunity.

I have very little time for T.V. so I don't even know what "The Daily
Show" is. Now and then, my wife and I will watch a DVD together. Most of

reading mail, etc., on this or another of my boxen. 'Think I get enough
