quote[Monday morning, July 24, 2006, in a blatant bit of "lying by omission", FOX & Friends host Mike Jerrick introduced End of Days Christian preacher and author Michael D. Evans as a "Middle East Analyst." Evans is the author of the books The American Prophecies: Ancient Scriptures Reveal Our Nation's Future. He is also the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, whose stated objective is "... to have 1 million people praying daily and 100,000 houses of worship praying weekly for the peace and protection of the Jewish people."
Evans is a rapture Christian who believes that, once Israel is at peace, the end of the world will come, at which time a very few chosen Christians (including himself and George Bush) will be wisked into heaven by Jesus while the rest of non-believing humanity will be cast into the fiery pit for all eternity.
While Mr. Evans is entitled to his quaint religious notions, FOX News was playing it fast and loose with the truth when it labeled him a "Middle East Analyst".
"Right Wing Christian Lunatic" might have been a better choice.]
Ahhh, "fair and balanced," indeed.
