Apparently, I’m a late arrival at this particular meme party. Various people have been all over Hagerty’s religion reporting on NPR before now. The gist: she lets her born-again evangelical values influence how she covers stories, and NPR administrators ignore her violations of their reporter’s code of ethics.
“Daily Kos,” the political blog, calls her a media whore.
This atheist is not happy either.
And there is even an anti-Hagerty entry at this church-and-state blog.
It sounds like a story for the guys at Get Religion, except that their views dovetail perhaps too well with Hagerty’s to begin with.
