The writer of the section is showing strong bias in multiple ways. Firstly he labels the referenced media outlets as "tabloid" (an attempt to undermine their credibility), then describes the cited articles as "trying to create a moral panic" (suggesting irrational or unethical desires), and calls their intended audience "credulous" (implying that only easily-deceived readers would agree with the articles' viewpoints). He also includes Pat Robertson in this list with the same term (moral panic), even though the cited article with this keyword in its title does not mention him. It seems that the writer of the article has strong bias against those who express concerns about the Charlie Charlie Challenge, and holds a specific bias against Mr Robertson himself.
The fact that certain individuals, psychologists and newspapers have expressed concern about the Charlie Charlie Challenge is important to include in this article, but the wording should be changed to be more neutral.
My suggestion: "Various tabloid media outlets and psychologists have expressed concern about the challenge, that it may produce potentially harmful consequences of a psychological or spiritual nature on its participants. The most outspoken groups are of a religious background, for example evangelical Christian speakers such as Pat Robertson, who denounced the Charlie Charlie challenge as 'demonic'." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.82.86 ( talk) 20:03, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Author Joseph Laycock says that people have often promoted a moral panic over tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons. [1] David Emery argues parsimoniously that when simple scientific explanations "can sufficiently explain why a phenomenon occurs, there's no reason to assume supernatural forces are at work." Despite simple scientific explanations being offered by science journalists, [2] [3] many tabloid media outlets have run alarmist stories promoting the game as causing supernatural danger. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Kate Knibbs writes that "once the paranormal fad went viral, it didn’t take long for Christian fearmongers to warn against calling on the nefarious spirit world." [11] Pat Robertson, who blamed the 2010 Haiti earthquake on a deal with the Devil during the 1791 Haitian rebellion, [12] [13] denounced the Charlie Charlie challenge as demonic. [14] Various exorcists [15] have promoted the idea that the game causes spirit possession, along with Muslims in Jamaica [16] and the UAE. [17]

I've had a go at removing all the unrelated and unreliable rubbish. And I haven't even verified the reliably sourced content!-- JacktheHarry ( talk) 19:01, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Two blogs ( Patheos and Skepchick - Rebecca Watson) link the two pencil game to the one pencil hoax by James Hydrick, debunked in 1981.
Hydrick's claim to be able to move a pencil on a desk by telekenisis (he blew on it) is the same fundamental physical claim as moving a pencil on a desk by blowing on it, and claiming that a demon is moving the pencil.
Fred Clark and Rebecca Watson liken the phenomenon of pencils moving on a desk to James Hydrick's debunked claim that he could move a pencil on a desk by psychokinesis
Anything wrong with that sentence sources? -- Aronzak ( talk) 21:08, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm from Spain and I have never heard about this game. It was created probably in South America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walkingonby ( talk • contribs) 05:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
