(OPINION) CBN – Earlier this month, the Lifetime cable network reportedly gave an ultimatum to D.

Lifetime told the ministry it would no longer air programming that addressed issues like abortion or left-wing financier George Soros. And it refused to carry any DJKM programming – even broadcasts celebrating George Washington – unless the media ministry founded in 1974 agreed to Lifetime’s sweeping new demands.
“Because of Lifetime’s newfound ban on so-called ‘controversial’ content, D. James Kennedy Ministries has been forced off the cable channel—to which we have paid enormous fees since 2017 to air our program,” said Frank Wright, Ph.D., DJKM President, and CEO.
Lifetime’s sudden decision to impose severe content restrictions came after three years during which the cable channel aired, without comment, Truths That Transform programs addressing abortion and other matters of concern to Christian social conservatives. Just last October, Lifetime aired – without comment – the ministry’s documentary, Billionaire Radical: George Soros and the Scheme to Remake America.
