CJR May/June 2005: Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross

A true must read overview of "Christian" media.

Conservative evangelicals control at least six national television networks, each reaching tens of millions of homes, and virtually all of the nation’s more than 2,000 religious radio stations. Thanks to Christian radio’s rapid growth, religious stations now outnumber every other format except country music and news-talk. If they want to dwell solely in this alternative universe, believers can now choose to have only Christian programs piped into their homes...


This is the fundamentalist subculture, self-segregating and self-seceding - something between a quarter and a third of the country, and absolutely unreachable for the Democratic Party.
