The first to fall is Truths that Transform.
The president and CEO of D. James Kennedy Ministries says the Lifetime channel rejected programming on abortion and other controversial subjects in recent weeks, leading the ministry to pull all its shows off the channel rather than produce “milquetoast” content.
Frank Wright said Wednesday that the ministry is now searching for a new cable television platform that will give it the national exposure it needs to reach a broad audience.
Lifetime had carried the ministry’s Truths that Transform program the last three years. Wright accused Lifetime of taking part in the “cancel culture” of conservative ideas.
In a YouTube video Wright said — “They complained about our abortion special. They wouldn’t air a special on George Soros. They even refused a special on the life of George Washington – the spiritual life of George Washington. And so after discussing with the folks at Lifetime, we’ve decided we can’t continue in this relationship. So we are now off of Lifetime effective immediately.”
He called it “very disappointing” news.
He also said major cable networks have “completely eliminated” their block of religious programming in recent weeks.
He thinks it’s being done from a “fear of … advertisers complaining.”
