WHAT IS THE NEWS
MEDIA SUPPOSED TO DO?
The
purposes of the news media are to:
1. Report the happenings of the
day in an objective or unbiased way.
2. Reporting includes putting
the news in the proper context so we understand its meaning.
3. Do investigative reporting.
This is where a reporter investigates a subject deeply to understand the
truth about it, and then reports this on the television, radio or in print.
4. Editorialize. This means to give an opinion about an
issue that is in the news. It
should clearly be stated that it is opinion, and not fact.
WHAT DO THE MEDIA
REALLY DO?
1. At times, they tell the
truth, as they are supposed to do.
Other times they do the following:
A. Spin the news. This means they report it, but they say
it or put it in a context that makes it look a certain way or makes it fit into
a certain agenda.
B. Intentionally omit reporting
some stories that do not agree with their point of view.
C. Intentionally lie, falsify or
make up stories.
D. Intentionally mix up facts
with their opinions.
E. Intentionally attempt to
confuse and deceive people in many ways, such as having ÒexpertsÓ on their
programs that support their views who donÕt know the
facts or who intentionally lie.
They also engage in character
assassination, which means they bad-mouth people they donÕt like so people
will not believe what they say.
Propaganda. All of the above are part of the concept of propaganda. This means disinformation and misinformation designed to
alter peopleÕs minds and ideas to conform to a certain doctrine or set of
ideas.
WHY DOES THIS
OCCUR?
It
occurs because most media outlets in the world are owned and/or controlled by
socialists, leftists, liberals and/or progressives. These people use the media for propaganda purposes, namely
to promote their agenda of world socialism. The Rogues are behind all this.
The socialists habitually lie
because if they told the truth, no one would support them. They favor elitism – rule of an
elite over the mass of the people.
Since this is an unpopular idea, they cloak their agenda in
nice-sounding words such as liberalism, socialism, communism, or progressivism.
WHAT CAN ONE DO
ABOUT THIS?
First,
realize that most of the mass media cannot be trusted to tell the truth. This applies to the print media,
television, radio and internet news sites.
Second,
one must seek other sources for truthful news, commentary, investigative
reporting and editorials.
Third,
and more controversial, we believe the broadcast media should lose their
broadcast license because they are no longer news outlets. The print and broadcast media also
should be sued out of existence for fraud.
WHAT ABOUT THIS
WEBSITE?
We
seek the truth. It happens that
the conservative news outlets and commentators speak much more truth than the
others, so we recommend and prefer their broadcasts rather than the others.
In
that sense, we are definitely politically conservative. However, we are not ideologically
conservative. This means that we
only seek for the truth, not for a particular theory or concept.
BETTER MEDIA
SOURCES
Below are preferred media
outlets, and ones to avoid. The
recommended ones are not perfect, but they are much better than the others in
terms of truth.
Television.
1. The 700 Club is a one-hour daily news show found on several
Christian TV stations every day.
Hosted by Pat Robertson or his son, this is one of the best news
programs.
Other news programs on Christian
television are also good, as is Israel News, a program on some Christian
stations.
2. Fox Cable
Channel is a
breath of fresh air among cable news, except for the Christian news
outlets. Fox is not perfect, but
definitely better than NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, Corporation For Public
Broadcasting and others.
3. Others. Glen Beck TV is
quite good, especially commentators such as Dana Lasch. Another good one is the One America News Network. Newsmax TV is also very good.
Avoid all other television networks
such as CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, Link TV, Corporation For
Public Broadcasting (Lehrer News Hour, for example). These are much less true and
reliable. We suggest avoiding them
totally, as the amount of truth they present these days is not worth your
time. They are okay on some issue
reporting, but otherwise they will confuse you endlessly.
Radio.
There are many decent and
thoughtful talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham,
Shawn Hannity, Lars Larson, Mark Styn,
and quite a few others. In fact,
listening to conservative talk radio or reading
conservative publications is often are the only way to learn what is really
going on in the news.
One objection to almost all of
these talk show hosts is they do not understand the horror of the conventional
allopathic medical system and the critical importance of a diet of mainly
cooked vegetables, the correct vitamin and mineral supplements, and the
superiority of natural healing methods, in most cases.
Michael Savage, an unusual man,
is the only conservative radio talk show host we know of who reports often on
problems with junk food, medical drugs, vaccines, water fluoridation,
unnecessary surgeries, and other problems of todayÕs medical care. We may not always agree with some of
his views, but at least he mentions the problems with the medical profession.
Dennis Prager. He talks sense a lot of the time, but
he confuses people. He is weak on
at least five issues:
1. Rape. Mr. Prager does not understand the
seriousness of the rape problem in America and elsewhere.
2. Liberalism. Most people understand it to be synonymous with leftist
thinking. Mr. Prager
redefines liberals as people who really love America but are duped into their
left-wing ideas. We think that is
nonsense and pandering.
Liberals and leftists both vote
for the destroyers - Democrats in the USA and for Liberals in Europe, and both
are elitists.
3. Homosexuality. This is a horror according to
the Bible and other writers, but Mr. Prager says that
we should all be ÒcompassionateÓ about it. We disagree. We
help others by discouraging it and not by calling it ÒgayÓ, as Mr. Prager calls it.
4. The Bible. Mr. Prager distorts the truth of
the Bible as regards homosexuality and liberal values. He says he likes clarity, but he is not
clear on these values.
A web page that describes
liberal well is https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/). This web page, however, is missing the
idea that conservatives follow Biblical principles, while liberals tend to
oppose them.
5. The liberal
press. Mr. Prager
condemns the New York Times in one
breath, but reads from it almost daily.
That is the same as advertising for it. That paper belongs in the trash.
Also, he says he disagrees with
homosexuality, which the Bible calls an abomination. But he often reminds his audience that he is good friends with homosexuals. Does he also keep company with murders or others whom the
Bible says to stay away from?
6. Business. Mr. Prager speaks badly about the
morality of most big business.
This is not true, in our view.
Many large businesses are very moral do a tremendous amount of good in
the world. The rogues have invaded
and taken over many of them, however.
7. The right-left
spectrum. Mr. Prager
and some others also teach the left-right political spectrum incorrectly, as we
understand it. He says that the
left is bad and the right is good.
However, the original understanding is that left wing means secular
while right wing means religious
in nature.
Extremes of either of these are
tyrannical. Extreme left wing
includes liberalism, communism, socialism, progressivism, and leftism. Extreme right wing includes present-day
Iran and a few other nations ruled by religious fanatics. Nazi Germany was considered right-wing because Adolf Hitler proclaimed himself the new
Christ.
America is in the middle, which
is called centrist. This laws of
this nation follow some Biblical teachings, but religious fanatics do not rule
the nation and are not permitted to do so. The nationÕs laws are based firmly on Biblical
principles. However, the US
Constitution forbids a national religion or theocracy – one in which high
priests, for example, make all the major decisions.
We donÕt mena
to be too hard on Mr. Prager, who does a lot of
good. However, he claims often
that he loves clarity and truth.
We think he needs a bit more of it in just these few areas.
All of the talk radio programs
can be accessed via the internet so that you can
listen at your leisure, even if your local radio station does not carry the
program.
A
note about NPR. National Public Radio or NPR is very
liberal or left-wing and is very slick
propaganda. Listening casually,
you can think they are totally objective and just reporting the news, but they
are not.
They do not report both sides of
the story correctly, and they conveniently omit many very important
stories. They are not always
ÒwrongÓ, but they do not give you the whole picture, so your mind is not
educated properly by listening to their stations. Unless you counter their ÒnewsÓ and other shows with
conservative talk radio, you will remain brainwashed, ignorant and confused.

Magazines
to avoid. These include the mainstream magazines
such as Time, Newsweek, and others.
These have a very liberal and left-wing or
progressive slant that makes their news and coverage very unreliable.
Newspapers. There are very few good newspapers left. The
Wall Street Journal is not too bad, but it is not great. Some small home town
newspapers are okay, but donÕt count on it.
The New York
Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and the Huffington Post are horribly slanted left. We cannot recommend a national
newspaper as a great source of information today.
INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTING
Newspapers, in particular, and
the media, in general, formerly offered in-depth or investigative
reporting. This was not just a
program or two per month, but a daily activity of the mass media. It was careful, factual reporting, with
fact-checking at each step, and without much of a
political agenda or ax to grind.
It was simply a search for the truth.
This kind of reporting is almost
all gone today except by websites such as Breitbart,
Drudge Report, and a few others.
Columns, blogs, website and books by Michelle Malkin
and Monica Crowley and conservative talk show hosts are also good for some
investigative reporting.
The Christian TV networks, on
programs such as the 700 Club, also do some excellent investigative reporting,
at times.
An excellent recent book about
the media industry is Stonewalled, My Fight For Truth by Sharyl Atkisson. Other good authors are Ann Coulter, Ben
Shapiro, Andrew McCarthy and Mark Styn.
The few large newspapers that
still remain are barely surviving, and they donÕt have the staff or perhaps the
inclination to do much deep investigative reporting.
When they do, their stories and
investigations too often reflect a left-wing political agenda. Therefore, they are not helpful and
often the newspaper ÒnewsÓ is often little more than propaganda.
