Consistency? We don't need no stinkin' consistency.

US television network ABC has accepted an ad from the right-wing Christian group Focus on the Family. The ad will tout the group's faith-based family counseling website.

In case you'd forgotten, ABC was one of the US networks that rejected an ad by the United Church of Christ because the ad 'espoused a particular religious doctrine.' In the UCC ad, club-style bouncers outside a church were shown turning away people of color and an apparently gay male couple.

ABC is fair and balanced indeed.
