He was a pioneer in putting together contemporary news and politics in a televangelism tv show. He was big into geopolitics and putting up maps. His father was a US Senator for Virginia. What he did is what EWTN does now. Putting news and religion together. He was a fan of Mother Angelica and had her on his show and he influenced her and EWTN.
I give Robertson credit in that he was opposed to antisemitism and did not rail against Roman Catholics. He genuinely seemed to be opposed to racism and religious bigotry.
Back when you had only 12 channels on cable tv it was easy to catch the 700 Club on CBN. I look back now and laugh at how he hated heavy metal music and how The Masters of the Universe, Star Wars, and other toys and tv shows were Satanic.

True story. One of my friends when he was about 12 came home from school one day and his mom said, "Good news, son. I've burned all of your records and star wars toys because they are satanic." She literally became a born again Christian when he was at school and she was watching Pat on the 700 Club.
