CBC news anchors started repeating every hour: The murderer was by a “Christian fundamentalist” who hated Muslims.
Except Breivik didn’t actually kill any Muslims — he went after the Norwegian government and its ruling liberal party.
And the Christian part? He hadn’t been to a church since he was a teenager. His manifesto said the opposite.
He wrote, “I guess I’m not an excessively religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic.”
And “myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God.”
Nothing else about his own beliefs in 1,500 pages. But the CBC calls him a Christian fundamentalist.
