Do you believe in Tebow?

I bleed Orange and Blue, which means that I’m having a great year. My Denver Broncos, who were completely out of the running just a few games in, somehow managed to tie for first place in the AFC West last week. And this week we — yes, I’m a key component of the team’s success — had another amazing win in overtime to get first place on our own. I had already psychologically prepared for this week’s loss. We were behind 10-0 with just minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Unbelievable.

Sometimes we come across a story that could be called “The Onion, GetReligion style.” It’s so strange that you’re not even sure where to begin. We have a story like this from AFP, and it appears the media outlet released two versions of the same story yesterday.

, , , ,

The Internet soaked up a skinny jeans story yesterday when some writers thought Brigham Young University had banned the tight pants. It turns out that the confusion revolved around rules at BYU’s sister school in Idaho over those really tight pants the average Americans can’t fit into.

Oops: TV station mistakenly reports Billy Graham's death

, , , ,

Journalists seem pretty good at recalling where they read a story and often who wrote it. But let’s be honest: does the average media consumer remember where he or she read, heard or listened to a story?

Newt, Newsweek, evangelicals & Rome

, , , , , ,

Before we get to one of the Beltway issues of day — the surging Newt Gingrich and the evangelicals of Iowa — I have a question for GetReligion readers who are, or have been, Newsweek subscribers in recent years.
