ABC Hypes 'Explosive' Claim That Jesus Was Married With Children (NewsBusters)

The journalists at ABC News get very excited whenever a new book attempts to undermine Christianity. On Monday, the reporters at Good Morning America hyped "shocking new claims" that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children. After playing a clip of the fictional Da Vinci Code movie, Dan Harris excitedly insisted that a "an explosive, new interpretation of ancient texts agrees" with the film.  

Co-host Lara Spencer promoted, "A lot of people will be talking about this. It's a new book making some shocking claims about the life of Jesus Christ." It wasn't until nearly the end of the report that Harris featured Mark Goodacre, Duke University's professor of religious studies, to note that there isn't "any credibility in these claims at all."
