David R. Spencer---an anti-Christian bigot?

Kathy Shaidle is annoyed at David R. Spencer for the following reasons:

David R. Spencer is "a professor of information and media studies at the University of Western Ontario," which explains why this column about Sun News is a tedious, overwritten, smug, predictable arrangement of received liberal wisdom, punctuated by cliches, unfunny "jokes" and outright nonsense:

There has been a feeling for some time in this country that the right does not get treated very well in the mainstream media. A closer look at actual events, however, suggests otherwise.

But, in all fairness, Canadian conservatives do not act with the rabidity of those in the United States, where half the population responds positively when asked if they consider themselves practicing, born-again Christians.

David R. Spencer's tying together "rabidity" with people who consider themselves born-again Christians reeks of the kind of blithe anti-Christian bigotry that so easily gets tossed off with an unselfconscious sneer in academic and media circles.

Since all his friends probably share his prejudices he has no idea probably how "creepy" he sounds.
