ON THE RECORD: Jan 29, 2014: Billy Hallowell (The Blaze) reports that "Pat Robertson Reveals Plan That Could Have a Profound Impact on Christian Education." Pat Robertson is the founder and chancellor of Regent University, a faith-based college in Virginia. Hallowell reports: "Regent, which pledges to offer “Christian leadership to change the world,” recently launched a new open online platform called LUXVERA, which means “light and truth” — an education tool that offers free college courses and a series of talks from political, legal and religious minds." The platform is currently free for anyone who wishes to gain access and new classes will be added in February. "Eventually, Robertson said the goal is to have “courses that will lead to a four-year baccalaureate degree. LUXVERA, he said, was created to meet the widespread demand for college education that exists around the globe."

Jul 19, 2022: Hallowell on media bias: ".....bias is fine as long as you know it's there. If you're telling me that CBN is a Christian news site, right, I'm going to expect certain stories are going to be chosen because that's what is going to be focused on. If you're telling me that the Blaze is a conservative say, I know that going into it right. The problem is when the mainstream media and all these other outlets go out and say, “We have no opinion, we have no perspective, we're being fair.” And the reality is they live in urban areas. They're completely colored by the culture around them, and they're believing this lie that they've been fair when they're not. That's where the real problem is, and I would actually argue,
I think a lot of people assume this is intentional and some of it is right. But I think the vast majority of bias in some people may not agree with me here, but is actually unintentional. It's a result of our worldview around us. And if you only know a certain group of people, then you're going to think the other people are weird and strange. And so this is why Christians and others have been framed the way that we have been in those mainstream outlets. So bias. Your initial question, what do we need to do? We need to be aware of it.
And I think for me, if I'm going to read Fox News, I think it's fine for me, even if I don't agree to go over to MSNBC and look at what they're saying, because how can I understand what I really believe if I don't understand what the other side is saying about it and I don't want to miss those details, I want to understand that it's not going to change my view, but it's good to get that healthy balance."
