"According to Friendly, the journalist’s job is ‘to make the agony of decision-making so intense that you can only escape it by thinking.’ Given his view of the crucial role of the media within a functioning democracy, there was witness-bearing consistency in his decision to resign his position, in 1966, when network executives cancelled live broadcasts of testimony on the subject of Vietnam before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, opting instead to air sitcom reruns.

Like Rod Serling, Friendly believed that television was an almost unimaginably powerful tool for positive social change, but it also had to potential to become nothing more than a hi-tech totem pole of mass hypnosis that could serve the ends of multinational corporations and the nation-states that serve them, with airtime handed over to whatever forces will pay the most to colonize brainspace.”

Ken Ham takes aim at Calvin College

Ken Ham, the president of Answers in Genesis, has recently directed several attacks at Calvin College for its teaching of theistic evolution. He has also singled out other Christian schools, such as Point Loma Nazarene, in San Diego, and the BioLogos Foundation, founded by Francis Collins, for similar perspectives on evolution. Ham slams these organizations as promoting heresy, all while asking for donations so he can build more plastic dinosaurs.
