Special Report: “Secular Snobs; Documenting the National Media’s Long-Standing Hostility to Religion”

With Easter approaching, below is the text of the Executive Summary for a Special Report, written by Tim Graham, the MRC’s Director of Media Analysis, with assistance from Geoff Dickens, our Deputy Research Director.

As part of its 25th anniversary, the Media Research Center has assembled a report revisiting the “objective” media’s hostility to organized religion, especially whenever it leans toward tradition or conservatism. For “Secular Snobs,” the MRC has compiled 45 quotes, over the past 25 years, in six broad categories.
