Biblical headlines
Is there a liberal bias in today’s mainstream media (MSM) in America? I have firmly believed for a long time that our nation’s mainstream media is slanted to the left, but in recent months their liberal bias is undeniable by any honest person.
If there had been TV news and newspapers in Bible times, one would need very little imagination to come up with what would have been some of their headlines if they’d been written by the likes of today’s MSM with their propensity for distortion, spin, and sensationalistic hype, using emotionally-charged words.
If Biblical headlines were written by today’s liberal media…

I know some people for whom “if it’s in print, it must be true.” Here’s a picture of one of the all-time classic headline bloopers.

In recent weeks especially, the media’s handling of Sarah Palin has caused many more people to see this issue more clearly. Here at ivman’s blague we like to provide a bit of balance. During World War II and beyond, Rosie the Riveter has been a cultural icon, recognizing the essential role of women in the war effort. Here’s the readily recognized picture of Rosie:

Every since John McCain’s announcement and presentation of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the media’s attention and intense scrutiny has been riveted on Palin. This past week someone sent me a great rework of the classic poster of Rosie to highlight a new cultural icon…

Listen to and read very carefully the MSM’s coverage of Sarah Palin. Their absolute hatred of this woman is so thinly veiled that you can see it pulsing and writhing below the surface.
Here’s a great Kevin Tuma cartoon I’ve had in my files for a long time. It clearly shows the tenets of the “faith” of today’s liberals.

Do you see any of those things coming through in today’s “news reporting?”
If your sole news sources are the mainstream media, I strongly suggest that you check out some other news sources to see a different angle on what you’re hearing or, even more, to read news that the MSM purposely chooses not to report. The latter is very telling - it’s the news you’re not being allowed to hear by the MSM. Who knows what you might think if you heard it?!
Here are a few links to alternative news sources:
I’ve put a new poll question in the sidebar of the blog about how you get your news.
I’ll end this post with something about which it’s impossible for me personally to be unbiased - our grandson Drew. Our daughter Nora is up at Meg and Jim’s all this week. Here are a couple of pictures she posted on her Facebook. As he ate some ice cream, Drew said one of his new favorite words - NICE (which he pronounces “ni”).
