Broken News: The Pastor Had a 3 Way
By Art Gallagher
Do you care?
The Asbury Park Press has made Neptune Township’s Reverend Cedric Miller famous.
First there was Wednesday’s story that Miller, the Pastor of Living Word Christian Fellowship Church, banned church leaders from having facebook pages because he determined the social networking site is a “portal to infidelity.” That made national news.
Today the APP’s lead story is that Miller and his wife Kim, who is also a pastor at the church had a sexual relationship with a church assistant and sometimes the assistant’s wife. The three way/four way arrangement, which happened some 10 years ago, came to a halt when word started spreading that the assistant was playing the field with other women in the congregation. Miller testified under oath about the affair during the assistant’s trial for charges that got dismissed.
Titillating, but front page news? The rest of the media is no better. The Associated Press picked up the story of the affair and now it’s national news.
How did the original story become news in the first place? Did Miller call the APP? Have a press conference? Issue a press release?
Miller could have chosen lots of websites to condemn as “portals of infidelity,” including the Asbury Park Press’s site.
Who has an ax to grind with Miller and why is the APP cooperating with that person? Why is the couple that the Millers fooled around with not named? The APP quoted Miller from the transcript of the former church assistant’s trial. Why are they protecting him and his wife?
Most importantly, why is the news of an affair that happened 10 years ago front page news and the news that four New Jersey federal legislators, Frank Pallone, Steve Rothman, Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg applied inappropriate political pressure on the FDA to approve an unsafe medical device in exchange for campaign contributions wasn’t on the front page?

Asbury Park Press Gets Its Facts Wrong Again
Simple – the APP is not a legitimate paper anymore. It is desperate to survive (hopefully an exercise in futility) and feels that these personal vendettas will get them enough readers to buy their piece of crap for the mini soap operas they try and create. However, since they want to help Democrats get elected, you will see them ignore the stories about Rothman, Menendez, Lautenberg, D’Amico, etc. that Art has broken.
