Robertson Gets the Boot from Religious Broadcasters’ Board

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

Robertson Loses Seat on Religious Broadcasters’ Board

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (March 2) - Christian broadcaster Pat ‘The Assassinator’ Robertson, criticized by some evangelicals for comments about Venezuela’s president and Israel’s prime minister, lost a bid for re-election to the National Religious Broadcasters’ board of directors.

Robertson, founder of the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, was one of 38 candidates for 33 board seats during the NRB’s recent convention. The group represents mostly evangelical radio and TV broadcasters.

NRB President Frank Wright said there was no broad effort to distance the group from Robertson. But “there was broad dismay with some of Pat’s comments and a feeling they were not helpful to Christian broadcasters in general,” he said in Wednesday’s Washington Post.
