Mainstream news media doing its job?

Just curious for your thoughts. How much do you trust mainstream television news, and news papers…. Would you seek out alternative news sources, or do you just not care? I know there are polls, but I’d like to see some narratives.

I suspect that they don’t.
Money and advertising prevents them from reporting the truth about pollution, business abuses, lawsuits, etc… The fact that most media outlets are owned by a cooperative oligarchy means that we’ll never hear any news that isn’t pro-business or at least sympathetic to business.
Our masters rule through commercialism. We are domesticated animals whose purpose is the consumption of materialistic garbage. Our whole world is based on rich white men brainwashing us into buying plastic junk made by slaves overseas so that they can steal the fruits of our labor.
We have been stripped of all the things that truly matter: companionship, community and intimacy. These things have been taken from us because our free time has been taken from us. We work constantly just to obtain the basic inputs necessary for survival. We are so exhausted from our efforts that the only enjoyable thing we have the energy or time for is TV or shopping.
The "news" is just part of the system that controls us.
Think about politics. Democrat vs. Republican vs. Centrist; does this truly cover the realm of political ideas? To say this is the equivalent to saying the religion is Methodist vs. Baptist vs. Lutheran. Certainly, there is more to choose from in religion than these three relatively similar sects. But when people are exposed to politics on TV, they seem to accept this narrowing of ideas.

Our news fails. They sell us what they tell us we want. We never get what we need: truth.
Journalism, done properly, is a SCIENCE. It is the science of data mining, of searching for the context of the data, of seeing the historical narrative and most importantly being objective.
The "liberal" bias that the news agencies are accused of is usually just an attack leveled at any news item that achieves this scientific goal.

Amazing Discovery About Early Christianity

Few things are more important to a Central Asian than maintaining cultural traditions. Throughout the existence of the Soviet Union, they were forced to conform to a Russian mindset, lifestyle, and even language. Free from this tyranny, Central Asians now cherish the things they can call their own. On the flip side, they are turned off by anything that looks, smells, or acts foreign.

In the eyes of these people, Christianity is an intrusive import from the West. According to the Director of one of the leading Central Asian Christian ministries, it is viewed as a boil, a festering sore, and causes division. After all, a persons religion is not determined by choice, but by the family into which he is born. So to become a Christian is to turn your back on both your family and culture. And such an act goes beyond being disrespectful, its crazy.

It is for this reason that Central Asian Christians are persecuted. On a daily basis, they suffer at the hands of those who intend to bring them back to their senses. Families attempt to undo what they think is brainwashing by isolating him, denying his rights, or even through intense beatings.

Restrictions from the top
In two Central Asian countries, the governments have enacted laws to deter radical religions, such as Christianity. In these countries, it is unlawful to meet in churches that have not been legally recognized by the government. However, there are so many rules and regulations in registering, that few churches are able to complete the process of gaining approval.

In one Central Asian country, it is also illegal to conduct a service in the national language. This law was enacted to stop Christians from converting nationals to a foreign religion.

Shocking evidence
However, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, more and more Central Asians are discovering that they have been living under false assumptions. And in evangelizing this region, one question is turning the tide, Why do you profess the religions of your conquerors, and forget Christianity, the faith of your forefathers?

Amazing recent discoveries have shown that Christianity was practiced throughout Central Asia long before Islam or Zoosticism, the two predominant religions of today.

While visiting a Central Asian home, the previously mentioned Director saw a pattern in the familys rug that demanded his attention. The design, common in area rugs throughout this region, was full of symbols that told the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

With the familys permission, the Director took the rug to an anthropology professor at the University of Chicago. Upon further study, the directors suspicions were confirmed, the Christian symbols predated the period when Islam spread to Central Asia.

Return to their roots
One by one, Central Asians are discovering what Christians around the world have always known, God is truth. God is love. And God is longing for Central Asians to return to their ultimate cultural heritage through faith in Jesus Christ.

Pray for those Christians throughout Central Asia who are facing the torture of their families and governments, that they will continue to have the courage to live out their faith, regardless of the cost.

Pray also for their persecutors. Pray that as Gods Spirit moves they will accept the gift of salvation from the one, true God.
