Roughly two years ago, Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ presented an orthodox, traditional Christian view of Jesus. This year, Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code presents a radically different view of Jesus and of Christianity. Both movies were the subject of much hype and controversy prior to their releases, and both movies made big bucks at the box office. Given these facts, it would be reasonable to expect that media outlets with no bias either for or against Christianity would give roughly equivalent coverage to both movies, right? So was this true of the major U.S. TV networks? Did they give roughly equivalent coverage to both The Passion and The Da Vinci Code? Not even close, say the folks at the Media Research Center, and they have the research to back it up....

So does this report indicate that there is some level of anti-Christian bias in the news divisions at ABC, NBC, and CBS? I'll report, and let you decide. ;-)
