Teen's death blamed on faith healing - CNN.com

Members and former members of the church in Oregon City have told The Oregonian newspaper in previous interviews that the congregation has 1,200 people. It has no apparent ties to other congregations or any mainstream denomination.
Teen's death blamed on faith healing - CNN.com


Bad reporting CNN.  This should not have been the last paragraph of the article, especially since most people just skim the articles.  The fact that this church has ties to others is a key thing.  Most faith churches also teach that you should also use intelligence also.  If your faith is not enough to get you healed, get to a doctor.  My doctor and I belong to the same church, and it teaches the Word of Faith.  That does not stop me from seeing him when I cannot get the healing I expect. 

Articles like this help spread the lies that churches that preach faith healing are backwoods hicks.

wbztv.com - Harsh Words For Celtics Fans Pulled From ESPN

Harsh Words For Celtics Fans Pulled From ESPN
Article Referenced Hitler And Cold War

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Parts of an article that contained some harsh words for Celtics fans were pulled from ESPN's web site Saturday night. The column made reference to Hitler and the Cold War.

The writer behind the poor choice of words was Jemele Hill. She wrote on ESPN.com, "Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It's like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan.

"Some Celtics fans told WBZ its one of the most insensitive comparisons they have ever heard.

"We're not talking about war; we're talking about basketball," one fan outside the Garden said. "How can you compare Hitler to a basketball game?""

I don't think you can say Hitler is a victim no matter what the circumstance is. That's over the top," another fan said.

Late Saturday night, the online article was changed. ESPN spokesperson Paul Melvin told WBZ, "the column as originally posted made some absolutely unacceptable comparisons. It was edited to correct those and we will continue to look into the issue."

Look into it??!?!?!?!?!?!

How about fire the person, or getting her committed to a mental institution  because of her mental illness.

There is no call, none, for words like that to be said person to person much less on a national stage such as ESPN.COM provides.
