I do like his statement about being confused as to why they aren't discussing the book. But, rather the credentials of the author.

They had his credentials validated within the first two minutes of the interview... the other 8 were ridiculous. I think it's a valid question to take his faith into account, but after hearing his background all I could think was, "ok, so what's the book about?"

Yeah that was a fail on HIS part....he could have addressed his conversion from Christianity and the relevance it apparently had on HIM. But then, if he HAD, that would have shown bias, so I can see why he avoided it.

Everyone has an agenda, it doesn't matter how much education you have on the subject. Personal bias will always be in play if you are human. All education does is making you have more believeable bullshit.

Ther first problem is that Fox News believes theres some kind of Islam/Chrisianity rivalry going on.

I think that it's also a valid question to ask why the commentary that she was quoting, that was negative about his book, only seemed to come from people who support the notion of the death and resurrection, and deification of Christ? How do you call this guy's impartiality into question by bringing up the likes of William Lane Craig?

Fox really should leave the Hannitying to Hannity and O'Brien, as they clearly have no one else who's schooled in ambush journalism.
