“There are issues that sometimes the mainstream media does not capture. And it’s important for those issues to get as much prominence as some of the mainstream ones,” said White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer in an interview on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

“Maybe by hearing from the Christian Broadcasting Network, we [will] hear about an issue that otherwise would get drowned out,” Spicer added. Of CBN, he also said, “They have a magnificent audience.”

Last year, the Christian Broadcasting Network celebrated 32 years of CBN News coverage of the Republican National Convention (RNC), making the network the largest faith media presence covering the convention.

The network has been frontrunner in faith-based news coverage, often featuring exclusive interviews with presidential candidates and nominees.
