He once called Christianity a “religion for losers” and a “crutch for weak-minded people,” but today media mogul Ted Turner announced a $200 million partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and the United Methodist Church to stop deaths from malaria around the world.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Turner said, “I regret anything I said about religion that was negative,” adding that he no longer considers himself agnostic or atheist and that he prays for sick friends because “it doesn’t hurt.”

In talking about his United Nations Foundation teaming up with these church denominations on the malaria project, Turner said, “Religion is one of the bright spots as far as I’m concerned, even though there are some areas, like everything else, where they’ve gone over the top a little, in my opinion. But I’m sure God, wherever he is, wants to see us get along with one another and love one another.”

Was Maria Parra-Sandoval, a questioner in the last Democratic debate, really dying to know if Clinton preferred diamonds to pearls? Apparently not. She revealed on her MySpace page that CNN pre-planned and censored each debate question. Now bloggers are jumping on CNN for failing to better identify questioners and for slanting its post-debate coverage.

Catherine Jackson asked a question about Iran and mentioned that her son has spent three tours in Iraq. Dan Riehl identifies Jackson as an anti-war activist and former Harry Reid supporter. He says LaShannon Spencer, identified only as a member of the First African Methodist Church, is actually the former political director of the Democratic party of Arkansas. He also speculates as to why the crowd was so Clinton-friendly.

Classical Values found that Khalid Khan, a citizen concerned about racial profiling, is really a prominent Muslim leader previously featured on CNN. Classical Values says, “I have no problem with the president of any organization asking questions at a presidential debate. But shouldn’t who he is be disclosed?”

The New York Times notes that CNN didn’t identify another Clinton supporter: James Carville, who is a close Clinton friend and contributor, as well as one of CNN’s post-debate analysts.
