"Christianity" Today: A biased rag masquerading as mainstream Christian news outlet


[T]he editorial board for CT ["Christianity" Today magazine] is much more ideologically aligned with the Christian Palestinianists than they are the Zionists. Why? There are many answers...
In general – and this is my opinion – CT is center-left in its worldview, which comes as a surprise to your rank-and-file Christians. They think it’s a “conservative” magazine.
Notice, though, that when an article appears that discusses origins issues, CT is solidly in the “theistic evolution” camp. Or when Israel is discussed, even in brief news items or captioned photos, it almost always is negative coverage, such as a right-wing Knesset group complaining about “missionary” efforts.
What this means of course is that CT is in reality a biased rag that masquerades as a mainstream Christian news source.
I write for a variety of publications and made the effort because it would give CT readers a far different perspective than they’d get from, say, Rich Stearns of World Vision (if you think World Vision is balanced in its view of the Arab-Israeli conflict, just check out the NGO monitor website and search for “World Vision”).

I agree. That's why for years now I write "Christianity" Today instead of Christianity Today. Its anything but Christian. Its flatly inter-faith and liberal. 

The gist of Fletcher's article is that "Christians" are lacking discernment and the religious bookstores (they aren't Christian for the majority of them) easily sells anything to their religious customers. Both then,  have no discernment.
