In what way is the Media's depiction (including both secular and Christian broadcasting) of Pentecostals most skewed?

I don’t know … Maybe you have a better idea. Because truthfully (and no disrespect to your post) I don’t watch either one and I don’t care what either one says …

I only care what the Word of God states…

Well, after two months and the many hits your post has sustained in regards to a topic so well entrenched into both, the churched and non-churched, I wounldn't place too high a value on those hits as they are either sampling opponents, or plain ignorant of how deeply this opinion has taken root in the heart of all, churched/non-churched yet, unafilliated.

So, as to your question, "In what way is the Media's depiction of Pentecostals most skewed?"

While this is an incredibly pertinent question of world-class notoriety, Pentecostalism knows so well the simplicity of that origin - hatred of the 'foolishness' brought on by hardness of heart.

My above answer was in regard to that segment of investigative journalism which operated under some small facsimile of integrity, or sensitive to the opinion of its subscribers. Still free to separate from Pentecostals through hate.

If this is the only form of media you wish to direct your question, then post -4- will suffice. Otherwise, the truly worst "skewing" of Pentecostals come to us from a group that gets its content handed to them, AKA, "bought". Wherein in that case we are sealed away in total obscurity till an opportune time to pin we, the Pentecostal to past flaws.
