Televangelists

The networks rake the content creators over the coals for access, and the content creators in turn raid the pocketbooks of the audience to cover their "expenses". Yachts and mortgages, and suchlike. It’s just like the owners of yachts and private jets and gold plated toilet bowls say, the owners of yachts and private jets and gold plated toilet bowls are victims like everyone else.   
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"Bitches be lyin!"
It doesn't matter whether they get caught with their hands in the safe or down a guys pants..that's always the excuse..isn't it? The marks parrot that nonsense just as readily as they parrot their religious nonsense. People -have- been taking a look at you, Drich..perhaps it's time you took a look at yourself? No one had to do anything to discredit you here, you discredited yourself. You do this with regularity. In this case, you presented a known con and crimer who got drummed out by his own people for being a con and a crimer..... as an example of a non scammy televangelist. What else was going to happen, and didn't you think to do your own due diligence?

Now we're straight to blaming The Nefarious Other™..are we? His own church correctly realized that booting him quietly would be better for their brand - so they did.
What on earth is the problem here? You can't accept the reality of this man...but if there were some other non-scammy televangelist (and cmon..there has to be, right?) you could just say "Yeah, nvm, fuck that guy" and flit off to friendlier climes. Instead, you're defending this asshole as a palpable extension of yourself, and of your god. All that does is reinforce the notion that the whole thing..not just the guy in question, is a giant con. You're doing exactly what the victim of a con does..and what cons rely on to evade consequences. The people running the show now are no less grifty, mind you..but at least they honor decorum.
