More Media Slant from an unexpected source
I don't know how many of you watch the show "The 700 Club" but tonite's edition was worth it. I have never sat through any whole report they have, but they began the show with a piece on Bush so I had to stay tuned. For those who don't know what The 700 Club is let me elaborate because it is essential for my point. It is a Christian media vehicle, very much like CNN or whatever but with a strong christian influence. Imagine O'Reily if he prayed every time he came on air, and wasn't an overbearing baboon to his guests. So, tonite's report was on Bush's 'victory.' They quoted some 3 MILLION VOTES FOR BUSH! I don't know if that number is accurate, but I'll find out and post exact numbers soon. They also discussed the demographic of the voters this go 'round, and said basically they were "faith based voters." Then Pat [the host] turned to his co-host with a smile and she said "Values, Values, Values!" Does anyone else see a problem with this? A dominantly christian media group endorsing, even praising the votes for Bush! You know, the President who lied to his people about the motivations for war, and who waged a war based on intollerance of a belief structure and lifestyle, and who's decisions in office have been motivated by materialism almost completely. I'm talking about the war on terrorism [the belief structure and lifestyle] and OIL [materialism], and the hundreds of our own people who have been sent to their deaths. And a christian network praises this man publicly! I'm ashamed. I remember a history lesson about a war waged based on beliefs and maybe materialism... The Crusades. Ok, so I haven't researched any of my theories to support this posting yet. I don't know that exact history of the Crusades, and I don't know what Bush specifically said were his motivations for war, but I'm eager to find these things and further elaborate. If any of you agree or disagree please tall me and give support for your claims so I can offer coherent support for mine. -Brad
