Those on the left view MSM as mainly conservative. See mediamatters.org.
The P-word surfaces at the Indy Star
Here is a case worth following, not only to see the outcome but to see how MSM outlets cover it — if they do.
Sacred and wicked candles
This is a Chicago Tribune story, but I just ran into it while reading through the drifts of South Florida Sun-Sentinel newspapers that collected while I was in Washington, D.C.

The soul of the Rev. Al Green
I think it was Elvis Costello who once, when asked if he believed in miracles, thought about it and said something to this effect: Well, I have seen Al Green. That is a start, if you want to find the holy grail of R&B. But what about the Rev. Al Green?

Nicolosi and the Times, round II
The last week of the Summer Institute of Journalism is over at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.

It’s a big tent. This is the job that will, in a month, move me back to the D.C. area.

Lots of one word sentences. Many. A lack of verbs. Reporter Neely Tucker hovers everywhere in that analysis way that the Post favors in its edgy Style pages.
Another religious freedom case?
