Friend of this web site, the well-known radio talk-show host and columnist Charles Adler, wrote a column this morning which he gave us permission to re-run as a “guest writer”. It’s in the Columnist section.
It appealed to me because I saw the same headlines that he refers to in the papers recently, and they angered me too. (I blogged about it here).
Here’s a snippet of Chuck’s column:
Question to the reader of this column: Do you think the Globe and Mail would use headlines such as “Indo-Canadian activists capturing Liberal races,” or “Muslim Activists forcing Liberals to shift position on Israel?”
The truth is the Globe gets a free throw in this country, as do other media, when it comes to castigating Christians.
If The United Church of Canada gets involved in advancing gay rights, the Globe and Mail is not likely to be concerned. The Globe would never suggest United Church members stay away from Liberal or NDP nomination meetings.
But, when evangelical Christians and socially conservative Catholics get involved in politics in order to advance their issues, look out.
