Is CBS News trying to destroy Katie Couric's credibility?

Her cred was already low in my book, but CBS News seems to be doing its best to destroy any semblance of a newswoman. The CBS Evening News features a segment called "free speech". With today's school shooting in Lancaster County, CBS asked Brian Rohrbaugh, the father of a boy who was killed at Columbine, to offer his thoughts for "free speech." Mr. Rohrbaugh proceeded to tell a national television audience that today's tragedy in Bart Township was the result of teaching evolution, abortion, and "taking God out of our schools." (Never mind that this was a private, religious school.)

This is a tragic day here in Pennsylvania. Although there can be little doubt that a father who loses a son to violence suffers in a way that most of us will never understand, it is not an excuse for him to do a Jerry Falwell impersonation. Let us mourn with our Amish friends without the Regressives' agenda front and center.

It is sad that his own grief doesn't even allow him to show compassion for others in the same pain. And, you are right, I am sure the Amish teach creation, prolife and trust in God.
It is also sad to view God as a being who would allow the torture and murder of little children to teach the rest of us a lesson in "faith."

That's a great point, Paula, that I haven't thought of in this instance. What kind of God let's five little girls die violently because we opt to not have the government endorsing Christianity? If that's how God is, I'll take a pass.
