Moody Radio Affiliate Drops David Barton's Show Over Defense of Glenn Beck

According to Dr. Warren Throckmorton's blog on Crosswalk.com, an affiliate of the Moody Broadcast system in East Texas, KBJS-FM, canceled David Barton’s Wallbuilders Live radio show during the show while Barton was discussing Glenn Beck’s religious beliefs. Randy Featherstone, KBJS manager, said the show was dropped because of Barton’s failure to distinguish between Mormon theology and Christianity. On the September 13th program, Barton said he believed Beck was a Christian, dismissed Beck's Mormonism and asserted that Beck used the same Bible. “When David Barton said it doesn’t matter whether you are a Mormon or a Baptist or a Methodist, we felt we had to do something,” Featherstone said. "We don't want to confuse listeners into thinking that Mormon doctrine and Christianity are the same." He added that the station had received many calls during the broadcast from people objecting to Barton's views. All but two callers supported the decision of the station to drop the show.
