The Christian preacher used as a case in point the resignation of a New York Times staff editor who went against the newspaper's liberal narrative.

July 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Popular Christian preacher Franklin Graham stressed the importance of the November presidential election, arguing that “media powers are putting forth every effort to spin the story and sway the thinking of the American people.”

Graham commented on the resignation this week of The New York Times op-ed staff editor and writer Bari Weiss. Her resignation, he said, “confirms what many people already have known — The New York Times is biased to the left, socialist, radical agenda of the Democratic party.”

“In her resignation letter, she said that it was very difficult to get anything published that did not ‘explicitly promote progressive causes’ and if something was published, it could happen only ‘after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated,’” the preacher explained.

“That’s very telling,” he added. “The founder of the Media Research Center said that her resignation makes the point that journalism is dead at The New York Times and it’s been replaced by censorship that is controlled by radicals.”

Weiss had sent her resignation letter to Times publisher A. G. Sulzberger on Tuesday.

“Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4,000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world?” she asked rhetorically. “And so self-censorship has become the norm.”

Franklin Graham is a gem. Thank God for him. And he is hated by the atheistic left.

I don’t think that the media is any less biased then it was back in 2016.

Though I think they are more alert to the possibility of losing the upcoming Presidential election.

I think their Terrified at the thought of Biden losing.
