Snickering at FoxNews while getting duped by 'Zealot' author
Many of us who came of age during the birth of New Media are reflexively defensive about the medium’s journalistic credibility.

A few members of the parish had their grandchildren punched around on school playgrounds because they were Arabs, even with their gold baptism crosses hanging around their necks.

The New York Times struggles to distinguish Voltaire, Spider-Man and Jesus
But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
