2. As for your statement as to what the author of that article says,

you are incorrect there, too. You quoted the salient paragraph, and it does not say simply that the secular media TAKES that position. Instead it says that that position "is OFTEN SHARED in ignorance by the secular media." In leaving out those qualifying modifiers and changing the verb used in the article, you changed the statement you quoted in your very excerpt to suit your own biases.

Why try to change what the author has written by restating it incorrectly? You cannot make the author say what the author did not say, by reframing it, Why change the author's words? That you do it while quoting those very words is awkward for you, I think.
