Well it is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

To be honest I really do expect better than that from The Times and it seems absurd that they've chosen her as their religion correspondent.

That headline makes me warm inside. It's like a Starbucks doubleshot for the goat soul.

Even when it's being done by a smirking Anglican?

Oh. Well, at least I can smirk back at how they would think that it's a bad thing.

Wow, Glenhill is so very fail. In the article on the ad campaign, she attributes the campaign to 1. Richard Dawkins and 2. "atheists". It's actually the British Humanist Association's and they are endorsed, not by Dawkins, but Tim Mitchen and Phillip Pullman (among others). It's true that the campaign was probably founded on Dawkins' idea, but her headline is "Children who front Richard Dawkins' atheist ads are evangelicals". So--yeah, lots of fail there.

And Jimi, I completely disagree that Murdoch "keeps his propagandist nose out of his more reputable news sources". Even the "news shows" on Fox or the news articles in the Times and Post have a sometimes very obvious right slant.
