Interesting scheduling on the part of CNN:
Here is the CNN schedule for the past weekend:
| Saturday | ||
| Eastern Time | Pacific Time | |
| 9pm | 6pm | God's Warriors - Jewish |
| 11pm | 8pm | God's Warriors - Muslim |
| 1am | 10pm | God's Warriors - Christian |
| 3am | 12am | God's Warriors - Jewish |
| Sunday | ||
| Eastern Time | Pacific Time | |
| 9pm | 6pm | God's Warriors - Jewish |
| 11pm | 8pm | God's Warriors - Christian |
| 1am | 10pm | God's Warriors - Muslim |
| 3am | 12am | God's Warriors - Jewish |
Why did CNN run the Jewish segment twice? Why did it leave that segment in a prime time slot despite switching the order of the other two segments?
I'm not sure that CNN has their priorities in the right place.
I hope that they won't try to establish some kind of moral equivalency among the three groups. I think that the Jewish settlers on the West Bank do plenty of mischief, and I'm no fan of the evangelical Christians, either. However, they haven't exactly tried to blow up thousands of people. I hope that the point of the series won't be: "See, they have their Islamists, but we have our extremists, too."
this is odd. I wonder what kind of viewer is likely to catch the 3am show. Something tells me it'll be a person who is highly impressionable.
