Retraction Coming from the HuffPost? Doubt it

A TV station in our Cincinnati and northern Kentucky area has reported about the proposed bar: “The new brewpub is being funded in part by the city, the Cincinnati Equity Fund, and historic tax credits from the state.” Now, shouldn’t the HuffPost be complaining bitterly about this tax-supported bar? And at the same time, shouldn’t it print a retraction of its false Ark-funding comment? Don’t hold your breath.

In fact, we have had to contact the New York Times on a couple of occasions to correct its bad reporting on the Ark Encounter project. A Times’ columnist falsely stated that that the Ark will be built “with $43 million in state tax incentives.”1 But no state monies will be used to construct the Ark. A previous editorial against the Ark Encounter in the Times made the same false claim.2 Our letters to the Times that were submitted to its editor to correct these errors were never printed, where we clearly stated that taxpayers “will not see their money used to build or operate the Ark Encounter. No money will be taken out of the state’s budget to fund the Ark.”3

The two largest papers in our state—the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald-Leader—have also made this false claim about the Ark receiving tax monies for its construction.

Upcoming Reviews on the AiG Website

Over the next couple of days, you can read reviews on the AiG website of the new Hollywood film The Son of God, which is now in movie theaters (it covers the life of Christ), and also the TV program Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Cosmos is an update of the famous TV series (which was full of evolution content) in the 1980s hosted by the late Carl Sagan. The new series will be shown over many weeks on the Fox Channel and the National Geographic Channel (and on other networks). We expect that the series will promote cosmological and biological evolution much more than the original.

Thank for stopping by and thanks for praying,
