World Net Daily puts out an open letter to its readers, asking for voluntary subscriptions. David Kupelian offers some insights into the people who are controlling the news and reciting it to you each night:
“This bizarre mindset infects more than just a few cable news personalities. A rare look at a normally hidden face of the “mainstream press” was afforded by the 2008 celebrity roast of NBC’s “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer in New York City. With cameras and recording devices banned from the proceedings, news icons ranging from Lauer and “Today” colleagues Al Roker and Meredith Vieira to CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric to NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams to NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker competed with each other to see who could tell the grossest sexual jokes about each other to a crowd of 1,900.”
Remember that the next time you hear someone on NPR lauding the news anchors as being urbane, sophisticated, and classy. Not that this should surprise any of us. With as much anti-Christian bias as we see on the news every day, why should we expect them to act like anything less than pagans when they’re off the air? This particular part of Kupelian’s letter stood out to me:
“When I started in journalism in the early 1980s, the media behaved more-or-less professionally, but were biased leftward, as everyone knows. Then throughout the ’90s the media experienced an influx of activists, especially feminists and gays, intent on advancing their agendas by covering those beats for their journalism organizations – very unprofessional.”
Our Lord tells us this very thing would happen in the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13). Unfortunately, the church in America has been silenced, and there is a famine in the land of God’s Word. The enemy has sowed tares in the field of journalism, and it’s now been overrun. That’s what the battle is about for those of us who are true children of God - advancing the kingdom, to the honor and glory of our heavenly Father. The pre-millenialist heresy encourages people to sit on their hands and shut up because there will be a miraculous delivery from all the world’s problems. A more careful reading of the Scriptures, however, teaches us that the Lord will only return after every enemy has been placed under his footstool. We have a lot of work to do, my fellow Christian journalists. We can learn much from the enemy’s tactics.
