Let’s Read The “News”

in Media Bias

pandaSometimes the liberal bias in the media is more than I can bear (the panda has nothing to do with this post; I just thought he was cute!).

I have to find some humor in the middle of this madness. Guess what? The majority of black voters will not cast a ballot for George Bush. Bet you didn’t know that, did you?

We’re still subjected to stories like this: “GOP faces steep climb to lure blacks.”

When President Bush solemnly placed a wreath at the Atlanta grave of Martin Luther King Jr. a few weeks earlier, a low chorus of boos rumbled from protesters across the street.

OK. Where is the news?

“Protestors decry homosexual portrayal of Christ.” Debauchery and blasphemy, bold and unrestrained. No news here, either.

“State law threatened by public’s revulsion to sex offenders.” Now this may be shocking. Parents don’t want to risk the molestation of their children at the hands of sexual perverts.

And who knew the entire state of Indiana was filled with homophobic, “non-bohemian”, technologically-impaired, heterosexual bigots? Read all about it in “Image of intolerance may cool job climate.”

“But this is my home, and I know there are many good, tolerant people in Indiana. If people like me don’t stay and fight for what we know is right, things will never change.”

But Christians aren’t free to fight for what we know is right without being called “intolerant”, right?

Wake me up when it’s over.
