Why religious?
IN Tim Rutten’s article on former Fox News Channel producer Charlie Reina’s memo about alleged conservative bias at that network (“Miles From ‘Fair and Balanced,’ ” Nov. 1), I am identified as a “conservative religious commentator.” I’m not sure what that means since my syndicated column (in 557 newspapers and distributed by Tribune Media Services, which is hardly a “religious” organization) mostly deals with secular subjects others write about. So does my “After Hours” show on Fox, which includes liberals, Democrats, pagans and, occasionally, a “religious” person.
Am I to be labeled “religious” simply because I am a Christian and occasionally write from that perspective?
If so, how about labeling the beliefs of other columnists just to be “fair and balanced,” as we say at Fox?
