Modern Journalism Today

Here are the first two paragraphs of the CNN story:

During his eight days as a part-time high school biology teacher, Kris Helphinstine included Biblical references in material he provided to students and gave a PowerPoint presentation that made links between evolution, Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood.

That was enough for the Sisters School Board, which fired the teacher Monday night for deviating from the curriculum on the theory of evolution.

Here's the headline:

Biology teacher fired for referring to Bible

See any connection?

Such is what passes for journalism in 21st century America.
