On hypocrisy

When Mike Jones went to the media with claims that New Life megachurch pastor Ted Haggard had paid him for sex and meth, he said he did so because of Haggard’s hypocrisy. Jones said he felt that Haggard was a hypocrite because he preached against homosexual behavior while also engaging in it.

Colson: It's character, stupid

GetReligion focuses on mainstream media, so we rarely pay much attention to religious media. We do pay attention, however, if writers over there choose to focus on issues in mainstream media coverage of religion or, like some of the pronouncements of Dr. James Dobson, they have things to say that are news in and of themselves.

On story selection and privacy

I’m not sure if non-journalists understand how much of a news outlet’s work depends on the selection of stories. Here at GetReligion, we tend to focus on problems with the way a given story is treated. Whether it is treated at all is a bigger issue.
