When Is News Really News?
You get to decide:
I have been reading news online, listening to the radio, and reading the newspaper. But, I get a little more confused as the rhetoric continues. What should be news isn’t and what isn’t news is. Does that make sense to you?
Jimmy Carter (the former President of the United States) is being recognized for his being an author by no less than Osama Bin Ladin. Bin Ladin is recommending Jimmy Carter’s book??? Where did that story come from? However, the story about the A.C.O.R.N. sting is being ignored while A.C.O.R.N. officials make excuses for their employees. The Tea Party Rally was dubbed a “bust” and the people attending as right wing radicals.
I don’t know about you but there seems to be just a little bias going on in the news. Oh, surely not! Aren’t reporters and news anchors supposed to tell the truth and let the people decide? Aren’t we supposed to look up to these highly popular journalists?
Now that you’ve had a good laugh for the day…it does make you stop and think how much influence the news media has over the American people. We are bombarded with talking heads and then those same talking heads take it upon themselves to explain what someone said or did…like we don’t have sense enough to decide for ourselves.
Personally, I am fed up with the overall news coming over the t.v., radio, internet, and newspapers. I make selections as to the news coverage I listen to. I like to think I’m fairly informed and am intelligent enough to know when lies are being spewed out with no remorse or sense of values. Stories are turned up side down to make them fit the liberal agenda.
Each morning I choose to look at certain internet links, online newsletters, listen to conservative talk shows that feature Glenn, Rush and Sean as time permits, and I watch FOX News when I want to know the truth of what’s going on in our nation and around the world. Their slogan, “We report – you decide,” is great. That’s what I do. I refuse to let a left-wing, liberal-biased network or newspaper fill my head with mush.
It’s time the American people stood up and voiced their concerns. Turn off the liberal talking heads and do a little research and dig for the truth. And, we need to ask ourselves – “does it line up with God’s Word?” Values and morals matter. God, family, and country are important. What we think about our country, our government leaders, and others is worth the time and effort.

Right on!! We are supposed to follow the lead that our media throws out to us. Thinking is a lost art.
People get lazy and want spoon fed information without taking time to look at the bias and lack of true reporting. Reporting is supposed to be just that, not creating news or bending it to fit some hidden agenda.
