Send away NOW for your free subscription to that paragon of Christian hubris,
"The Plain Truth, A Magazine of Understanding" published by Herbert Armstrong
of Ambassador College.

It makes me glad to hear that the American (presumably) press is largely
irreligious, if The Plain Truth is the alternative.

Other "religious" media I've read include the Scientologist's thing, which
spent most of its pages grinding an axe against the feds (esp. the IRS);
and The Christian Science Monitor, which I strongly suspect of ommitting
much (even their comics are very few and very bland.)
