WND: NBC pulls the plug on 'Book of Daniel'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | 1/23/06 | WND

NBC's "The Book of Daniel" may have launched to great controversy and hoopla.

But, today, the show ended with a whimper – pulled unceremoniously from NBC's Friday night schedule, effective immediately, with no more of an announcement than an entry on an NBC blog by creator Jack Kenny.

This is one of the things liberals hate most about a free society. The People are free not to watch whatever puke-water the liberals spew.

Now, in a "just" society, things would be much different...

I'm kind of disappointed that NBC didn't keep it on longer and lose more money.

They deserve it for the garbage they air.

The really uncharitable part of me always kinda thought the show was a not too far off the mark parody of what is going on in the Episcopal Church these days. But I also know it was intended as a slam on Christianity in general. So I guess its good riddance.

From a blog called Christian Dissent (based in Nashville;
one response to this was from someone who said when they got cable, the first thing they "blocked" was Fox News Channel).
Take it away, Mr Liberal:

"My Letter To Channel 4 WSMV in Nashville….
by ColeWake @ 9:29 am. Filed under Show

I would like to express my profound disappointment in your decision not to air the Book of Daniel. I am surprised at the arrogance you have shown in declaring that you have the right to determine what “is not appropriate for broadcast television in this community.”

Do you think so little of your viewing audience’s intelligence that you feel we cannot choose what to watch? Are you the new moral watchdog of Middle Tennessee?

As a devout Christian I have no objection to the book of Daniel. In fact, I appreciate the candor in which it portrays the many issues facing the Church. If more people took these issue head on, maybe we wouldn’t have as many problems. As a public licensed broadcaster you have a responsible to spread knowledge, not reinforce ignorance and bias.

I have loyally watched your news programming in the morning and evening ever since I moved to Nashville. However, now that you have done such an intellectual disservice to the community you serve I must move on. I am really disappointed, almost ashamed.

I look forward to hearing your rational for this decision, I pray that there is something I am missing, that your actions are thought-out and fair. I fear they are not.

God Bless

Cole Wakefield

I won't shop there again because I took something back and they would not give a refund of my money as other places do..My only option was a card they gave me allowing me to purchase something else of the same value. I rarely take anything back to any store but that is ridiculous. Thankfully, it was only $13.00 plus taxes.

Glad to see Christians standing up to anti-Christian programming.

I'm guessing they were a sponsor of the show, but I don't know for sure.
