So, you're confident you could sort out the evangelical Post staffers or CNN reporters from the rest? Well, since I only read the Post on-line and only skim the front page about every third day and maybe check out one or two stories, and since I almost never go to either the CNN website or CNN on TV (my TV watching so far this calendar year having totaled, outside of football, maybe 2 hours), no, I couldn't. But if I followed them regularly, I bet I could. On my local paper, I can tell you. The answer there is, roughly, zero. Actually,not so roughly. Pretty smoothly. <g>

The problem is, that if you're a true evangelical, it is your responsibility to preach the gospel throughout your whole daily life. So if you are a journalist and spill ink every day, you can't fulfill your evangalical obligations if you hide your truth. If you do that, you aren't truly evangelical. You may be a believer, a Christian, even born again, but you aren't an evangelical. You can't sacrifice your obligation to spread the gospel to your profession, because that's denying God. God comes first, journalistic integrity comes second. It's an inherent and, I think, irresolvable conflict. That's why I'm confident that yes, if I followed any medium regularly, I could tell the true evangelicals no sweat.
