Conservapaedia is a bit disappointing, really:you'd have hoped they could have put some effort into their political skewing of the facts (who was it said, a pro pos of Iraq, that "The facts on the ground have an anti-Bush agenda?") Nonetheless, their 'broadcasting' page is a source of unintentional comedy.

I can't decide whether my favourite bit is their castigating of the BBC for (among other things, including, naturally, and anti-conservative and anti-Christian agenda) their scandalous neglect of the Scots; the unnamed Doctor Who episode that was an allegory for the entry of Britain into the Common Market, and the Guardian's denouncing 'Daleks in Manhattan' as the BBC 'relentlessly spewing out Socialist propaganda' (and here I thought that was right up the Grauniad's street); the puzzling fact that Crossroads is one of the few TV programmes that merits an entry; the attack on Angel for Pelagianism (only they don't seem to know the word); the odd entry on Star Trek which devotes most of its interest to arguing that the programme pushes the 'ancient astronaut' theory of life (which, IIRC, only featured in something like two episodes of TNG)
Generally, though, one is left with the impression that they haven't actually watched any of the things they're writing about, as can be seen in what is surely the crappest summary ever of Life on Mars: the entry in its entirety reads
Life on Mars is a British sitcom based in Manchester, England. It follows the exploitations of a man, Sam Tyler, who thinks he is from the past. There is some controversy surrounding the naming of the secondary lead character, Gene Hunt. He is not in fact a genealogist researcher. He is in fact a Police Officer.
ETA: Oh, for goodness sake. This is the entry for "material."
The material world is that which we observe physically surrounding ourselves.
While very important in terms of keeping ourselves alive through the production of food, shelter, etc., it is a diversion from the spiritual task we are concerned with as seekers and believers in a higher plane. It is true that we must meet our material needs in order to live in God, but it is more importantly true that we must shy away from material aggrandizement in order to stay pure in our pursuit of the Word.
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or denounce them as heretics....
