It was a pro life ad that was very classy and non offensive but pointed out that Tebows mom had been urged to abort him for medical reasons but refused.

I didn't like the commercial.

The media hate anything to do with Christianity, Christ, or the pro-life position, and Tim Tebow is hated because he is all three. That is the only reason that this has been blown so far out of proportion. They have been attempting to destroy him since before he signed with the NFL.

Not true.

Actually, I am correct. In the modern secular media, Christians who believe anything that the Bible says are mocked, derided, and rediculed. Newsweek often ran stories that derided the Bible while publishing those that elevated a perversion of Scripture. Gnostic teachings were given credence, while the accounts of the Gospels and Acts were reinterpreted.
This is not the only place that this is done. The History Channel often runs revisionist pieces on Scripture that attempt to discredit the literalist position.
The only places to find more than tepid defense of Christianity and the Bible is on Conservative talk radio, occasionally Fox News, or Christian radio stations (some of them anyway). Overall the media hates the conservative, Christian, pro-life, and pro-family postion.

Newsweek and the History Channel are your examples? Really?

I could give you MSN, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, New York Times, Time, etc. if you really want me to go there. I could even dig up enough to give you execs and reporters if you wish. That is without touching NPR. You really want to discuss this?

Re: Tim Tebow
I highly respect Tebow for his character and as a player. As far as his future in the NFL, I think he play against 60% of teams and have a chance at a W with the kind of D that Denver has.
But when I watch the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and what it takes to get to the bigger dance. He is still a big ? mark. Those guys can thread a needle in double coverage. Sometimes you have to make the play even when the whole house knows what's coming.

I think Denvers D is overrated.
