From Randi's August 17 "In Closing" segment:
I did indeed check my local listings, via my Cox Communications DVR. It lists the program's content as:
Either these are considered more important (or at least more palatable) than the preservation of rationality in the modern world in the face of unrelenting superstition, or the listing is in error or the program is not what we're expecting. I'm not sure which of these unsatisfying possibilities to hope for.
Please tune in to see Ellen Johnson, President of American Atheists, on the CBS News program "CBS Sunday Morning" this coming Sunday, August 19, 2007, airing at 9:00 AM ET; check your local listings. Ellen will be discussing the latest wave of popular books on atheism, and the role that religion and atheism now plays in the USA. Other guests will include Julia Sweeney, Christopher Hitchens, and Boston University Professor Stephen Prothero.
I did indeed check my local listings, via my Cox Communications DVR. It lists the program's content as:
Prescription drug ads and their effect on U.S. prescription spending; the history of the lawn mower; the life of Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx; a bluegrass band in North Carolina.
