MSNBC freaks out over pro-Jesus Super Bowl advertisements

If you watched the Super Bowl yesterday (or really any cable network over the past several months) you might have seen one of the “He Gets Us” advertisements. The ads are slickly produced, featuring some excellent music and a very simple message. God is still here, even during the chaotic times that we’re living through, and Jesus gets us. All of us. The ads encourage people to remember that message and reflect it in our daily lives. That’s pretty much the entire story.

But not so for the folks at MSNBC. Sarah Posner, one of the network’s journalists and the author of two books attacking “the American Christian right,” saw something entirely different. In an article on their site, she declares in the title that “The touchy-feely ‘He Gets Us’ Super Bowl ads hide a dark truth.” Oh, really?

And what “dark truth” might that be? Posner dives into her investigative journey and finds “wealthy evangelical families” behind this sinister plot who are supposedly trying to fix their “tarnished images.” She even manages to drag Donald Trump into the story, though you had probably guessed that much already.
