Christian News Show Poses The Real Question On C St.: How Many Affairs Has It Thwarted?

Here’s some summer Friday fun.

The right-wing Christian Broadcasting Network does damage control for C Street, explaining that the real question isn’t, how many affairs were covered up, but rather, “how many affairs were thwarted.”

Best part: In a moment which gets at the, um, tensions inherent in a religious-based journalism enterprise, anchor Gordon Robertson applauds C Street for its secrecy, which, he says, allows it to minister more effectively to its members. Says Roberston: “God bless em!”

Late Update: The video now seems to have been pulled. Here’s the text of CBN’s story.
