NBC Trots Out 'Jesus's Tomb' Assertion: Could 'Step on' 'Religious Toes'

[See NewsBusters for more.] Two days after Christians celebrated Easter, NBC trotted out the claim that the tomb and burial site of Christ has been found. The segment only included one brief clip of a skeptic. Instead, journalist Katy Tur, reporting live from Jerusalem, excitedly explained, "...A journalist and a geologist said they have new evidence that this right here, underneath this concrete slab is Jesus's tomb."  She insisted it "could be the biggest discovery in the history of archaeology." Tur allowed that the contention of a dead and buried Christ "is going to be really controversial." She added, "If Jesus's body was buried here and his bones were found here, it could step on a lot of religious toes."
