Lo, the Poor Journalists

Lo, the Poor Journalists by Bill Wilson

Some 350 news outlets did editorials protesting how President Donald Trump has declared a war on them. They are couching it in "defending freedom of the press." All fine and dandy, but Trump has never suggested curbing freedom of the press. It's a non-issue, a genuine non-starter.

Being that the Boston Globe organized this so-called protest, and that so many news outlets quickly joined it, demonstrates exactly what Trump has been saying all along-that the mainstream media is biased, runs with fake news, and by not telling the truth, is an enemy of the people. They created an opportunity to bash Trump on the same topic across all of America. This, in of itself, is an example of fake news.

Here they are writing and airing "editorials" about how Trump is a tyrant for characterizing the mainstream news media as an enemy to the people. I challenge anyone to tell me, or your family or your neighbors, the difference in what they said Thursday about Trump and what they have been saying all along.

They have been running a constant editorial against this man since before he was elected. Over 90% of their stories have been negative toward the President-even those stories about the good things he has accomplished-progress on North Korea, bringing companies back to America, the lowest unemployment rate in decades, the lowest Black unemployment rate in modern history, and the list goes on-they characterize in a negative register.

In my quarter, there is no sympathy for the mainstream media. They cannot put aside their political intolerance and ideological bigotry long enough to report the news straightaway. They ignore the plain truth before their very eyes while taking every opportunity to advance their progressive communist global agenda through the words they use.

Antifa can go violent, even beating up so-called journalists, but it's OK because their intent is to attack right wing extremists. To these "journalists," right wing extremists are anyone who isn't liberal-especially Christians, gun owners, the non-college educated, and those who want to live in a country with secure borders and is terrorist-free.

So lo, the poor journalists. The president doesn't like them. The American people don't trust them. They are like spoiled children who think they should be able to say and do whatever they want without consequence. My advice to them is to have some introspect rather than lash out.

They have been traveling down the slippery slope of entertainment and opinions disguised as news for so long, they have lost their way on identifying truth and facts. Oh, they think they are telling the truth, but they are far from it.

They mock God in their untruthful writings and whisperings. They see lies as truth. As Proverbs 14:5 says, "A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness will utter lies." Lo, the poor journalists.
