I worked in gathering news many years ago and our objective as a local, independent station was to give the facts just as they were to the best of our abilities. Fast-forward to today and you see that most news sources have an agenda. That is, they are on one side of the political fence or the other, as in “liberal” or “conservative.”
Probably over seventy-five percent of news services in the U. S. are run by liberals and they slant the news, as far as they can get away with, in the liberal direction. One of the obvious ways they do this is to give extreme attention to stories that favor liberals and little or no coverage to those that favor conservatives. This happens in spite of the fact that the country’s majority is conservatives.
Case in point (and there are many), is the Honor America Rally held in Washington on 8/28/2010. The coverage of this event by secular media was almost none existent. What little exposure that did occur, was very negative and the number of attendees was minimize greatly. Why is this? It’s the liberal agenda. The desire to destroy your opponents with the media.
I watched the counter on my computer and at the beginning there were about 80,000 people watching by computer. It eventually peaked at 130,000, but that number was small compared to the number of real live people at the rally. I would estimate that well over 500,000 people saw this rally, either in person, or on the Internet. All that saw it know that the liberal media is trying to deceive those who didn’t see it. People who only get their news from the liberal side are in the dark as to what is really going on in this country.
Some of liberal talk show hosts stated that it was mostly whites, but the fact is there were American Indians, Blacks, Asians, Arabs and whoever else want to come, or in many cases were invited. Martin Luther King was honored greatly by all speakers, one of which was his niece. No one was excluded from coming to the rally. Of course, most liberals wouldn’t want to come because they heard it was to honor God.
I watched the entire three hours on the internet. There were people all the way from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument as thick as a crowd can get. They were almost entirely clean-cut, well-behaved American citizens. It was not a political rally. Only one politician’s name was uttered that I recall and that was a mention of John McCain by Sarah Palin. Governor Palin talked only about honoring our military.
Why did the liberal media ignore this very pro-America gathering? Just one reason, they don’t care about our heritage of Christian values. Most of them are not Christians (although there are some very devout Christians in media). Most liberals in the media are pro-abortion, with many leaning toward socialism. They do not believe in God, so they are lost in this world trying to do their own thing. They think this is all there is, so they try to get all they can while they can.
The people at the Honor America Rally were there to bring back honor for God and country. That was their main objective. It was very encouraging to see so many people who were willing to go to Washington at their own expense, a large number bringing their families, which include many young boys and girls.
The people were well behaved and left the place so clean and neat that you hardly knew anyone had been there. It wasn’t strewn with litter as it was at the last presidential inauguration. There were no arrests by the police.
The liberal new media is on the wane. Like newspapers, they are doomed to fail in the long run. Reporting of news is moving toward the Internet where it is more “back to the really true facts.”
Over the air broadcasting of radio and TV is licensed supposedly in the public interest. When the majority of the public isn’t being served the truth, it’s time to questions if these big news services should be allowed to express their propaganda over our media. Is their liberal agenda serving America fairly? I say NO.
