Objective Newsweek?

I knew there was a reason I stopped reading Newsweek! As I recently sat in a dentist's office, I searched for something to read (I had left my new copy of National Review in my car). I found the current issue of Newsweek. I read editor Jon Meacham's cover story, “The End of Christian America.” The more I read the article, the more upset I got. Then I wondered if I had simply moved further Right, or perhaps Newsweek had moved further Left? Maybe a little, or lot, of both! This morning, as I was trying to find an on-line version of "Demographics & Depression," by David Goldman (the article appears in the May issue of First Things), I came across Ryan Anderson's article in the First Things Blog, "The Decline of Christian America, or Objective Reporting?" Mr. Anderson takes Newsweek to task in his opening remark:

Here we are, getting ready for our big week, reflecting on our Savior’s death for humankind and celebrating the triumph and miracle of his resurrection, and then we get the news from Newsweek that we as a movement are now dead.

Mr. Anderson then goes on to challenge and refute many of Meacham's "facts." I'll have to redouble my efforts to remember my own reading material on future visits to dentists and doctors.
