News & Views from the intersection of Faith & Media:<\/p>\n

Bible Code<\/i> to become a movie.<\/b> <\/b>Story.<\/a> On the surface it may not sound like a blockbuster — but then again maybe the producers know something we don’t.<\/p>\n

Like the Worst Person in the World<\/i><\/a>, Keith Olbermann is suspended. Story.<\/a> It seems MSNBC thinks his donations to Democratic candidates undermines his appearance of journalistic objectivity. I thought his show did that.

Jay Leno not welcome (except as “musical guest”) on Conan O’Brien’s new TBS show.<\/b> Story.<\/a> But he’s not bitter.  <\/p>\n

Kanye West expresses regret for calling former President George W. Bush a racist for his response to Katrina.<\/b> Story<\/a>. He says he felt the same sting following the public rebuke for his disruption of Taylor Swift’s moment at the MTV VMA awards. Not exactly the same situations (ineffectiveness vs. aggressive nastiness) but give him credit for learning a lesson.
 
Spielberg’s Terra Nova<\/i> pilot focuses on time-traveling scientists out to save the world from people. <\/b>Story.<\/a> Prehistoric birth control? I wonder how the Pope feels about that?
<\/i><\/b>
Don Imus apologizes for telling a Kars-4-Kids jingle singer to “shut up” and “go to hell.”
<\/b>Story.<\/a> <\/b>It’s hard to host an irreverent <\/i>radio and TV show without actually offending people.<\/p>\n

Dances with Wolves producer to shoot Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. <\/b>Story<\/a>.
Not literally. In the movie sense. But will it have Secretariat<\/i><\/a>‘s legs?  <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
