Re: Politics and the Church
Here's a decent article for those who desire to discriminate between Fact and fiction, as in FAKE NEWS.
How to Read the News: A Guide for Truth-Seekers
Here is an exerpt:
Quote:
Because my home page is the website lucianne.com, I am able to access news sources from around the world. Although most of the subscribers to the site lean conservative, there is a healthy balance in the comments posted in response to the articles. Since President Trump’s election, it has become quite predictable to glean whether an article will be positive or negative simply by learning the news source. No matter what the actual news does report, certain sources will spin it with extreme bias. Here’s what I’ve learned about getting the real facts on current events.
No matter how successful the recent summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un turns out, these publications will report it with a “Yes, but” analysis: The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, the New York Daily News, Newsweek, Time, the Daily Mail (UK) and the Miami Herald. Online websites like Politico, Daily Beast, Salon, Media Matters and all the websites of the Major Networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC MSNBC) will do the same. Even the formerly conservative National Review and the Weekly Standard have lost their credibility as right-leaning publications thanks to an abundance of Never Trumpers in charge. The New York Post may be the only local New York City print publication that has maintained a bipartisan editorial status.
The recent MSM and celebrity hysteria about the illegal immigrant children being separated from their alleged parents would have had some impact with voters had not the truth been exposed in the Internet on unbiased websites and twitter posts. Those pictures of immigrant children sleeping in cages brought tears (crocodile?) to MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow, who apparently failed to note that these heartbreaking photos were taken in 2014 during the Obama administration. The detention center used by the Trump administration was a far cry from Obama’s if one viewed them on one of the more credible news sites like Breitbart.com.
The truth is out there, but without the Internet and some cable news channels, it’s very hard to find. If CNN and other leftwing news sources ever lose their access to airports and medical and social service offices, then perhaps there is a chance that the fake news they promote will have lost their captive audience. In the meantime if one is seeking the truth amidst all the hyperbole and hysteria about non existent events, one has to turn to the following online webzines:
Breitbart.com; Newsbusters.com; Daily Caller; Jewishworldreview.com; Americanthinker.com; foxnews.com; PJmedia.com; washintonexaminer.com, freebeacon.com; theconservativetreehouse.com; powelineblog.com;washintontimes.com. and Townhall.com and of course lucianne.com. Although most of these include opinion articles, they include substantial documentation. When I wrote for Breitbart, I was required to present credible documentation for my allegations. Likewise, when I wrote for the New York Sun, my editor made sure that any charges I made about an individual had to include their response to the issue.
