NBC Apologizes for Omitting ‘Under God’ From Pledge During U.S. Open Broadcast

From Fox News.

NBC issued an on-air apology Sunday for omitting the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during its coverage of golf’s U.S. Open.

The words were edited out of a clip of children reciting the oath — a move immediately noted by viewers, who took to Twitter and various blogs to voice their anger, the Huffington Post reported.

Hmmm… I post a reflection below about what can happen when the profane meets the holy. Voila! A real-life case study!

For NBC to claim that editing out “under God” was not meant to “offend anyone” is duplicitous or at best incredibly naive. Either way, it sadly represents the reality that just as in the story of the ark of God and the Philistines, we still have today those who choose to send God packing so that they can continue to worship their various human-made idols, especially the idol of political correctness.
