Your in-fucking-sane media

I had CNN on a couple days ago and saw the first of these "reports", and I was torn between laughing hysterically and being apalled.

Ladies and gentleman, the United States of America is now officially out of it's fucking mind crazy.

CNN or CBN? Phillips asks apocalypse authors: "[A]re we living in the last days?"

Summary: With Kyra Phillips's discussion of the Apocalypse and the Middle East conflict with Christian authors Jerry Jenkins and Joel C. Rosenberg -- who share the view that the Rapture is nigh -- CNN has, for the second time in three days, featured a segment on the potential coming of the Apocalypse, as indicated by current conflicts in the Middle East.

For the second time in three days, CNN featured a segment on the potential coming of the Apocalypse, as indicated by current conflicts in the Middle East. The July 26 edition of CNN's Live From ... featured a nine-minute segment in which anchor Kyra Phillips discussed the Apocalypse and the Middle East with Christian authors Jerry Jenkins and Joel C. Rosenberg -- who share the view that the Rapture is nigh. At one point in the discussion, Phillips asked Rosenberg whether she needed "to start taking care of unfinished business and telling people that I love them and I'm sorry for all the evil things I've done," to which Rosenberg replied: "Well, that would be a good start." Throughout the segment, the onscreen text read: "Apocalypse Now?"
I'm sure my frequent calls to "destroy" religion rings rather extremist, eh? Am I starting to convince anyone yet that the future of mankind might just be dependent on it?

From Media Matters - the people who apparently don't think it's major national news that the apocalypse is upon us.
