That's what Time's Michael Scherer believes to be the case after an exegesis of Focus on the Family's video candidate guides.
But Tom Minnery, Focus's media-savvy senior vice president for policy, says nay:
First of all, rest assured that we have not been endorsing any candidates, either “stealthily” or otherwise. Our comments are what they are — a review of what the candidates, both Democrat and Republican, are saying on issues we think Christians care about.By the way, something else is happening here. I believe the mainstream media doesn’t quite know how to deal with alternative media such as ours. They’ve always considered themselves to have the corner on commentary, and now that we are able to reach our audience directly, rather than through them, and to say directly to our audience what we want to say, they have no pigeonhole to put us in.
I'm with Scherer.
