Activism against the mainstream media, October 1-3

If you're so led by the Lord to oppose the mainstream media's anti-Christian agendas, then let them and their advertisers know that next Thursday, Friday and/or Saturday, October 1-3, by calling them, sending letters, writing emails, leaving feedback comments, and tweeting. By a number of people taking some action at the same time, at least some in the media will have to consider what they're doing and that if one person is speaking out, there are many others thinking the same thing and who might also take action in the future.

Here are some of the most recent injustices that are routinely practiced by the secular humanist media:

Those in the media shouldn't be using their positions to simple impose their beliefs on the public, as they are doing. Acting as “impartial' journalists, they have, for example, branded Donald Trump and his supporters as “extremists” and “bigots” for opposing the government's illegal illegal immigration policies, while providing distorted coverage on the subject.

They are also trying to impose secularism on the country. Their implicit message is that it's okay to be a Christian, as long as you don't believe it's true, which also means you believe that Christianity is the one and only true religion. That's the essence of religious freedom, but secular humanists in the media increasingly brand believing Christians as wrong. We also have a right to believe that the Bible is the one and only completely true, divinely-inspired book. Journalists shouldn't impose their judgments on Christians for believing the beliefs of their faith, and believing the Bible.

Journalists should be held to the idea that they can have their personal beliefs just as anyone else does, but they are not paid to impose them on the public because they've come to believe that theirs are true and others' are false. They are responsible for reporting the facts, not distorting and changing them so that, not coincidentally, they've changed the picture to agree with their beliefs. Journalists today are acting on the belief that they are the seeing things correctly, so they have the right to impose their beliefs on those who see them “incorrectly” and need "correction," and to lecture and spout opinions during supposedly “straight,” “objective” reporting.

Journalists shouldn't be unskeptically following the reactions of social media "trends" because doing so fits their preferred narratives as secular humanists. The Islamic student bomb hoax/clock case is only the latest in a string of stories in which the media uncritically accepted the side of the story that fits their narratives, on incomplete evidence and without even an adequate, impartial investigation by the journalists doing the reporting. Journalists are simply piggybacking on Twitter “trends,” and following the interpretations of people who know little about the case but feel free to react anyway. If journalists are going to accept the judgments of Twitter trends as “truth,” they should first have to prove that these judgments have been soundly made. Apparently the only “proof” of that to this point is that these judgments have some popularity on Twitter.

Journalists are actively imposing their narratives as “activist journalists” on particular incidents, regardless of the facts, and attack those who disagree with them for doing so as bigots, conspiracy theorists, ignorant, biased, dishonest, politically-motivated, haters, and as “playing fast and loose with the facts” - all the things that the secular humanist journalists are actually doing when they substitute imposing their favored ideological narratives for following the facts in the case. Once they've imposed a narrative, they also actively defend it by distorting the facts as they come to light. This is necessitated by the fact that they have rushed to judgment to begin with in order to impose their narrative by framing the incident their way, and the facts that later come out threaten their imposed narrative so they must be neutralized as much as possible. Secular humanist journalists and like-minded allies do this by smearing skeptical critics and actively distorting the facts that emerge, in contrast to the rules of evidence that would normally apply.

These are some contact suggestions:

The national media. Local media. Advertisers of all media, including left-wing opinion sites like the Huffington Post.

Others to contact too are Congressmen and the RNC. They should be talking about the media's injustices, and also another situation that should be confronted - the now-established practice by President Obama to inject his own beliefs into controversial situations, despite the fact that they usually involve legal processes and always involve evidence gathering processes, yet he makes determinations on who are the “right” and “wrong” parties without these processes being completed, and in many cases, even begun. Yet no one has called him on this, and while that isn't surprising from the secular humanist media, it is a failure by the Republican Party and individual Republicans not to do so. At this point, other Democrats, like Hillary Clinton are following the President's lead, and should be called out on what they're doing.
