The Christian discount

It makes cents to support your own. And the Defend Marriage Coalition's senior director, Dr. Charles McVety, has now made special arrangements for religious right-wingers who want to read mainstream news that makes them look good.

From the website: "The Toronto Marriage Rally on Monday, May 23rd was a tremendous success with between 5,000 - 10,000 people gathering on the front lawn of the Ontario Legislature. The National Post published a large headline in the Tuesday newspaper reading 'Faiths Unite to Fight Same Sex Marriage.' Speakers from most major religions led a boisterous crowd, of varied ethnicity to actively work to preserve marriage.

"Canada's two national newspapers gave conflicting reports of the same event. The National Post printed a fair and thorough account. The Globe and Mail editor expunged their article and in place printed a picture of eight same sex supporters and one person praying on his knees with the caption, 'Same Sex Rallies.' The Globe and Mail was factually wrong in their report. There was only one small protest rally against the Toronto Marriage Rally defending marriage with thousands in attendance. In contrast, a handful of counter-protesters appeared. The Globe chose to distort reality with disinformation to suit their agenda....

"The National Post, however, more accurately reported with a full front-page headline on Saturday, May 21st and several related articles on Wednesday, May 25th. The Post is obviously the only reliable national newspaper with fair and balanced reporting, therefore as marriage supporters we should subscribe to the National Post."

And the subscriptions department at the Post is only too happy to help! "A special discounted daily delivered subscription rate (where available) of only $9.99 per month is offered to you by calling 1.800.668.7678 (POST). You can access this Canada Christian College rate by quoting number 84." As my tipster notes, "Talk about buying into your own world view."
