The majority of Americans don’t believe that the mainstream media reports accurately and fairly. Polls also show that distrust of today’s media is at a record high. It is important to understand where their loyalty lies; and by their reporting, it’s extremely easy to see that the elite media has an anti-Christian, secular-progressive worldview. Pay attention to how they report the news, especially when it comes to religion, politics, and social issues.
Does the media monitor the power of the United States government, regardless of whether there is a Republican or Democrat in the White House? Do they report on subjects such as abortion or same-sex marriage with no bias, and do they treat conservatives differently than they do liberals? Do they omit certain stories if the facts don’t support their narrative? Most of us already know the answers to these questions.
We’re going to examine the growing March for Life movement and look at the actual numbers, but let’s first look at a few basic Principles of Journalism:
1. Journalism’s first obligation is to tell the truth
2. Its first loyalty is to citizens
3. Its essence is a discipline of verification
4. Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover
5. It must serve as an independent monitor of power
Has the media reported in detail on the hundreds of executive orders President Obama has signed – more than any other president – in just his first four years in office? He recently signed 23 executive orders on gun control alone. Today, however, we’re talking about life.
Approximately 83% of Americans feel abortion should have some restrictions placed on it by law, but only 3% of media elites do. Translation: the media often believe or support the exact opposite of the majority of citizens to whom they report the news. The president’s abortion views are extreme. On last year’s Roe V. Wade anniversary, Obama said he intends to “continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”
According to Life Site News, the 2012 March for Life was estimated at around 400,000 participants, likely putting this year’s event at the half million mark. At what other time in America do a half a million people rally for the same cause every single year? The event was promoted and shared by many on social media through blogs, photos, status updates, and tweets; but the major media outlets either downplayed the story or ignored it altogether.
Instead, they preferred to report on Beyoncé lip-syncing the National Anthem, a college football player with an imaginary girlfriend, Hollywood liberals handing out more awards, gun control, and the First Lady’s new hairstyle. Instead of holding State Department officials accountable for the Benghazi assassination scandal, the media chose to swoon over Hillary Clinton, even though her testimony was calculated, masterfully evasive, and uninformative.
Polls have shown that a majority of Americans believe abortion is morally wrong. According to one Gallup poll, 61% say abortion should be illegal. Next to preaching the gospel/free speech, this is the most important Christian battle in the public arena. We rarely hear much about abortion in the news media.
As a general rule of thumb, estimated numbers at pro-abortion marches are doubled or multiplied while numbers at pro-life events – if mentioned at all – are cut in half, minimized, or ignored. This is interesting, given that the pro-life movement is much larger than the civil rights movement ever was.
The culture war in America often intensifies whenever liberals feel outnumbered or threatened. Remember Chick-Fil-A Day last summer? The battle for life is no different.
One of the biggest battlefields in the country is the media. Think about this for a minute: you can search the Internet for, watch on television, or read about nearly everything imaginable under the sun. However, isn’t it peculiar and suspicious that it can be extremely difficult to find detailed, factual information on the truth about abortion?
We’re talking about one of the most common, frequent ‘medical procedures’ in America. Try finding helpful, biological, and medical specifics about exactly how abortion is performed as well as any possible cautions, repercussions, and side effects. Last week, I wrote about the anguish of abortion, including verifiable symptoms a woman may experience as well as many cases that resulted in death.
Celebrated and sold as choice, freedom, privacy, and rights, abortion has been covered up by the mainstream media or re-framed as a fight for birth control. Sadly, the message to kids and young single adults is sex without consequences. What a disservice, especially to women who’ve gone through the grief, guilt, or regret of their decision.
The new normal where journalism is concerned is if a story doesn’t fit their narrative and their politics, the mainstream media with their anti-biblical worldview simply refuse to report the honest facts to citizens they’re supposedly informing. Rather than telling people about problems in America that affect us, they ARE part of the problem in America.
The media has too much power: power to influence people, affect public opinion, and sway elections – and they do. Know the truth, share information, and help change culture.
If you’re concerned like I am about the lack of truth in journalism today, know what news outlets you can trust and share those sources with others. Talk to friends, write, blog, email, and, most importantly, pray for this nation! We should be asking God to open people’s eyes to what’s really happening in this country. Maybe He will still have mercy on America.

Many reporters in the lying, lamestream media are in Satan worship. They go to a school of Satan and learn how to lie, lie and lie some more. They know how to greatly deceive people. It has done much, much damage to this nation which is their motive. If you read a book named, “Michelle Remembers,” you will see evidence of these reporters in Satan worship. Michelle was a child whose mother was into Satan worshiping and MIchelle was used in their rituals. She remembers seeing that most of the people there were reporters, newspaper people. They are “of the devil who is the father of all liars and a murderer from the beginning.” Jesus Christ.
THE MEDIA ARE LOWLIFE LIEING SCUM OF THE EARTH.THEY ARE A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS DOG CRAP
It is sad really, NEVER again can reporters be given any positions of trust in any area.
If you know of a news main stream outlet that anyone can trust, including Fox, please post it on this site. I suspect that there will be nothing posted, since they are all corrupt. Notice how we hear nothing of what is now going on in Egypt? The news media does not want us to know just haw bad things are over there, especially since they all said that Hillary did such a marvelous job as Secretary of State these past four years.
I have two Boston Terrier’s that could have brought more peace to the Middle-East than this clown did. Hopefully she might decide to spend some time on a tread mill and drop 50-60 pounds. Who knows, Bill might even decide to want to sleep with her then.
Then again, who knows where her tastes are now, that she has spent four years traveling around the world with her assistant, and confidant, Huma Abedin.
The blood trail left from Arkansas to the white house should remove any doubt about her character deficit.
I’ve been asking the question: When did the 4th Estate become the 5thColumn?
Nuff said.
What with Michelle’s background including Satan worship and Barack’s Mohammed the pedophile being in the White house I still have more concern for their daughters from them, than from any outsiders!
I worked for two different newspaper companies. One in Kansas City Missouri and one in Independence Missouri. News people are some of the BIGGEST LYING MAGGOTS on our planet. They are hard left propagandist……..they WILL lie about any and everything they need to tow the line for Democrats. I watched as a reporter basically made up a story to fill a space. They use Marxist/Socialist style tactics to deal with other workers that have ethical problems with what they do. They wrote a glowing Community Interest Story for someone who burned down his own house…….so he could get money and everything replaced….and they knew what they were doing wasn’t right. You cannot believe what the news media tells you ever…..it was a hard lesson for me to learn…..I used to believe they were the good guys. But I know now from seeing behind the curtain of that industry….they are liars, manipulators of the truth, and a bunch of Marxist/Socialist. Oh then there is the problem of an advertiser in one of their papers breaking the law ………..they would not write a story about it because he was a big money advertiser for their paper so that ruins the whole integrity thing when it comes to that as well. In one instance the police department was being investigated by the FEDS…….the paper would not write a story on it because they used to go drinking and on ski trips with a lot of the officers….. cannot let their union comrades down and tell …..that is forbidden.
Boycott all lying news media and their advertizers. I have about even quit watching Fox. I used to like O’Reilly, but he is shrinking somewhat over the past, especially l-l/1 years, at least as I see it, in his objectivity. He thinks he can still get interviews if he stays neutral on Obama or lean a bit on the “O” side. Shaun tries, as does even Red Eye, but they are grossly hampered. While Shaun was talking during the Trevon Martin deal going on, some wize azz was making the background with pictures of Martin looking like an innocent. Even while Shaun was questioning the whole matter as objectively as he was allowed. There were also pictures that were altered they put up of the “innocent” looking Trevon and the altered pictures of the community security man who shot him in self-defense. They used those pictures whether they bought them or not. I will not forget nor forgive that. The real pictures showed injuries to the security officer. Obama got his big nose in that too. He never lets a good crisis go to waste. Obama is trying to take this country over for the enemies in the UN who are planning on us losing our means of defense of the military by their demoralizing the pro-Americans within and putting gays in there to stir up problems and add to the cost of our military with the what will be constant infighting. He is putting illegals who may or may not be loyal to America in citizenship roles who will go into the military and be promoted into positions of authority and they will ultimately weed out pro-Americans. He has a plan. It is being implemented in many facets as I speak (write.)
1 l/2 years on the O’reilly thing.
All that is necessary to place mass media in it’s deserved rut in history is a review of its fictional hero character roles slide from trust to disgust The media mold was permanently cast by early portrayal of characters from professionally integrated fields of entertainment, news reporting, politics and justice set the stage for their future expectation. Only politicians are subject to election results swayed in the balance of media created agenda opposed to their suppressed truth.
Result are exhibited in the quagmire of of corrupt mentality prevalent today in all of the above. Rehabilitation of any of the above is prevented by first amendment rights, court delay due process, legislated immunity, and executive privilege. Can the current attack by all of the above on second amendment intent be anything less than more agenda propaganda designed to influence congressional vote on more of the same ineffective infringement of personal defense and a futile attempt as “birds of a feather” to gain advantage in their deserved fear of armed revolution?
If any faction of the republic refuses to remove even the remnants of treason from it’s own agency, it’s position on the list of enemies of the republic is thereby established. The most easily adjusted attitude of them all is rooted in boycott of all their vulnerable weaknesses. Only diligent attention is required to direct ones efforts effectively to their
financial support. Any ads presented by networks displaying obvious political bias alien to constitutional intent deserve corrective public action. Their advertising income base exposes their Achilles Heel. Neither is permit required nor votes counted ——except by their boards of directors perusing their shrinking bottom line.
The news used to be a must see at my house, but in the last few years, I stopped watching the news,because of all the negative reports on politicans mainly republicans,I would read a report on my computer, then listen to the news and I had different reports, so who do I believe, the reports of some or the multi million dollars news companies that I have listen to for years..Research was the way I found out the truth, the facts will come out, but if it’s a democrat don’t count on the big media, and half of what they say about a republican..It’s plain as day the MSM is in the pockets of the democrats, anyone who can do any research what so ever can find this out,(they don’t hide the facts) But they still think people are dumb.right NBC, ABC.MSNBC,CBC and now fox to a certian point, they still are not as bad as the rest..Find out for your self, do some research…………And learn the real facts about how this crooked Adminstration works using the MSM……
The Obama dog is not really sleeping. He is faking that too (that dog has an Obama haircut.)
The dog eyes are a bit Obama too. That is funny.
If one’s paycheck depended on it… most people will lie . Obama is a shining example of that.
The News Media has become the Propaganda Ministry of Barack Obama and his Values, which is “He has No Values to which Traditional Americans can agree. It is the Media of Communist Party USA. And spouts all things Anti-American. They are Liars, Cheats, Murderers, Rapists and have Chicago Mob Values, just like the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF. AND THE COMMIE IN CHIEF IS THE SON OF THE MOST LOW SATAN, HATING ALL THINGS RIGHTEOUS AND GOOD.
