That is an interesting comparison. In the early days of radio broadcasting technology, some Christian ministries balked at the idea of using “airwaves” because the air of planet earth is, as the bible reports, infested with demons. Technically speaking strictly, air isn’t needed for anything more than the survival of people manning the systems — it would work equally well in the deep vacuum of outer space. I don’t think we have anything but a humanly made pun here. It still so happens that American news is biased towards wickedness.
Speaking of which, a guy came by the church where I serve as a musician about a decade ago, and claimed that its CARPET was full of demons! Our pastor bade the fellow a polite but sincere goodbye. I haven’t met any demons in the church carpet yet, although it’s getting kind of ripped up from being shampooed and vacuumed and stuff being pushed over it.
