I don't want to make it all about religion, but I feel like there's a connection between the "faith alone" doctrine of many (esp. evangelical) Protestant groups, where it doesn't matter what you _do_ but only what you _believe_, and this sort of "My heart and mind matter, but not my actions!"
John ScalziMy dude, we don't need to know your "heart and mind," we just have to look at your prior actions. You've already turned CBS News into a ham-handed partisan laughingstock in land speed-record time, so we have an excellent idea what you will do with CNN.
