NBC cancels 'Book of Daniel'

Because of your efforts, NBC cancels 'Book of Daniel'

Dear Richard,

NBC's anti-Christian program The Book of Daniel has been cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact.

NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic losses. Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air. Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want to continue the fight.

Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack Kenny could not match your participation. "Ordinarily, I would never ask anyone to do this, but the AFA and bullies like them are hard at work to try and prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and that is censorship—pure and simple. And that is both un-Christian and un-American," Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical in today’s society. Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian.

People like Kenny don't want people like you to have a voice. They want to deny you the right to get involved. You are supposed to sit back and take the trash. And when you do speak up they call you names.

This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back and take the trash, but we can get involved and fight back with our pocketbooks. I want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent emails to NBC and the thousands who called and emailed their local affiliates.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved!

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

Never heard of that show but the fact that it was anti-christian, well it's a good thing it's not going to air anymore.

IT WAS JUST TERRIBLE!

As WorldNetDaily reported, "The Book of Daniel," written by a homosexual, is being promoted as the only show on television in which Jesus appears as a recurring character and the only network prime-time drama series with a regular male "gay" character, a 23-year-old Republican son. The main character, Daniel Webster, is a troubled, pill-popping Episcopal priest.

Touted as the riskiest show of the year, it includes a wife who relies on mid-day martinis, a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter. At the office, the priest's lesbian secretary is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Nashville's WSMV-TV General Manager Elden Hale, Jr. said: "Based on a review of the first three episodes and the clearly voiced concerns from our viewers, we have determined that the program 'The Book of Daniel' is not appropriate for broadcast television in this community."

Advertisers have been dropping out, leaving Burlington Coat Factory as the show's only national sponsor.

"Burlington is a buzzard buyer. They absolutely don't care about the content as long as they get it at a nickel on the dollar," said AFA Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. "They would probably sponsor porn if the price is right. NBC is losing about 2 million dollars in advertising revenue each time they air the program."

Wildmon said he expects other affiliates will drop the show and that NBC will pull the plug before all eight episodes air.

"If NBC continues to take that kind of financial hit, it is evident that their anti-Christian bigotry is allowed to override their good business sense," he said.

LOL--And the trailers I've seen show the preist driving down the road with Jesus in the car as they talk.
Too bad the writer didn't study the BOOK instead of trying to blaspheme it.
