END TIMES SENSATIONALISM
Ted Olson really blasts the San Francisco Chronicle for an article they ran last Saturday under the headline "War in Babylon has evangelicals seeing Earth's final days."

"Only one problem:" says Olson, religion writer Don Lattin "couldn't actually find any evangelicals who actually believe it."

On top of that, writes Olson, "...everyone seems to be missing the real story: there's actually much less apocalyptic talk about the war with Iraq than there was in 1991's Gulf War. And, in fact, failed end times hype over Saddam back then may be the cause of muted speculation today." Link to CT weblog
