CNN Airs Hate programming

CNN, considered by many the "Fox News" of liberals, aired a hit piece on Pastor O'Neal Dozier, a fundamentalist evangelist. The report was aired on Paula Zahn Now, a program that uses a sexy blond reporter to attract viewers. In it, perky Paula not only accuses Dozier of discriminating against Arabs, but also disseminating what she concludes is "hate lit"-- Chick tracts! The tracts shown are WHO IS ALLAH and MEN OF PEACE?, and she confers with a panel of pro-Muslim "experts" who condemn Dozier and his ministry. Dozier is a black minister who was featured on the cover of November/December 2006 issue of Battlecry. He uses Chick tracts to alert people to the less attractive aspects of Islam. If literature that criticizes other religions is automatically deemed "hate lit", then news pieces that criticize Christian publishers would be "hate programming". Interesting enough, controversial religious literature is protected by the first amendment, but similar television broadcasts are not. FDR created the FCC so he could revoke the license of (then radio) broadcasters who aired controversial religious editorials (like the extremely popular Father Coughlin, whom he ran off the air, then revoked his mailing privilages so he couldn't mail his editorials either). Hopefully Chick- and Zahn- will both continue to enjoy their rights to have their controversial messages seen and heard. See Chick's WHO IS ALLAH?
