For years Accuracy in Media, the Media Research Center, and other watchdog
groups offered evidence of media bias and rampant political correctness that
exists in America's newsrooms.
More often than not, blatant bias extends to their coverage of Christian
topics and the views of those believers who are involved in the political
process. I wish I had a dollar for every time they used the term "Christian
Right" to describe conservatives who voice their faith in a living God. And
those references to a "Christian Right" by the denizens of our nation's
newsrooms can be considered them being kind.
These are the same journalists who are careful to avoid using the terms
Islam and terrorism within the same paragraph. These are the same people
who, in many publications, ran a photograph of a supposed piece of artwork
titled, "Piss Christ," but prided themselves for not running a Danish
cartoon of Mohammed with a missile shaped headdress
So anyone keeping a list of examples of news media bias may want to add this
one:
This past week I read a public notice in USA Today that their editors were
allowing people to write a message to President Barack Obama that would run
in that newspaper's Inauguration Day edition. The cost was $15 a line.
"Hmmmm . . . I thought. Good way to get a message to our new president."
So, after much soul searching I wrote and submitted my ad:
"Dear President Obama, 'We shall all stand before the judgment seat of
Christ. For it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow
to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall
give [an] account of himself to God.' (Romans 14:10-12)"
I had signed it as FFFA.us, the web site address of the Faith, Family,
Freedom Alliance, a Christian-based organization I recently founded.
