"The Press Just Doesn't Get Religion"

I'm adding GetReligion to the blogroll today; it's a blog about press coverage of religious issues. The current entry is about a press report on U.S. Latina conversions to Islam, and links to other commentary by Muslim women on hijab and women's rights under Islam.

Curse You, CNN!

CNN, your source for news that doesn't make its subjects uncomfortable in any way, so that CNN may continue to bring you this highly important "news." I don't understand why this has gotten so much less attention than the Jayson Blair thing at the NYT. I mean, arguably people have DIED as a result of this policy (follow link to previous story within this link).

Edited to add: The CNN Ooops, sorry about that whole "killing you" thing we could have warned you about months in advance, brothers-in-law of Uday story here, for free.
