From The Frontline-Episode 128-The Battle for the Mind in the News Media

The BATTLE for the MIND in the NEWS MEDIA

Every day we are influenced by media. Whether through posters, billboards, social media, newspapers, TV, Twitter, Facebook, or a host of other media, which often gives us views instead of just news. While claiming to be neutral, newspaper journalists and TV presenters often report the news from an anti-Christian point of view. At one time, especially in the 19th century, most leading newspapers were Christian. However, there has been a major shift in the news media on what is covered and how it is covered. Instead of the wide-angle lens of context, all too often, the zoom lens of selective focus has predominated. Is there an agenda? Or are we dealing merely with bias and prejudice?

"Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour…"

Ephesians 4:25
