In Lowe's 'backlash,' a fair hearing?

, , , ,

I first learned about the home-improvement chain Lowe’s pulling its advertising from a Muslim reality show when I came across a Religion News Service report over the weekend. The subject interested me, in part, because I wrote a recent Christianity Today story on corporate boycotts.

(Wink) Gingrich and religious right (wink)

, , , , , ,

Unless I am reading the tea leaves wrong, we have not seen the end of the stories probing whether the once Honorable Newt Gingrich has adequately repented for his moral failures as a husband. The theme that keeps driving this subject into the headlines is, of course, his ongoing attempts to court the votes of evangelicals and other moral conservatives (with traditional Catholics being a crucial piece of that puzzle).

When reporters make mistakes

, , , ,

That’s the summary behind “Regret the Error,” a site that tracks journalism mistakes (which, coincidentally, is headed over to Poynter). And when mistakes do happen, the evolving pace of news and reporting on web is changing the way journalists correct their reports.

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.

Hitler and the War on Christmas

, ,

I just disembarked from my first cruise and I’m in lovely Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After a week in gently (or not-so-gently) rolling waters, I’m pretty happy to be on dry land. It was great to be out of communication for a week, but I missed my newspapers. So while I sit here waiting for my flight, I’m devouringtThis weekend’s Wall Street Journal, which included some fantastic articles. But one article, while terribly fascinating, had some holes.
