The Muslim religion is like a poisonous weed that if not pulled will kill all else in the garden.
Any other portrayal would be unfair.
Yeah, a lot of people throughout history have felt that way.
Adolf Hitler said:The Jewish religion is like a poisonous weed that if not pulled will kill all else in the garden.
Any other portrayal would be unfair.
Maximinus I/Joseph Stalin said:The Christian religion is like a poisonous weed that if not pulled will kill all else in the garden.
Any other portrayal would be unfair.
You're in good company, you horrible fucking bigot.
I am no expert on theology but the news media has agendas just like everyone else. Once, media was just reporting the news as a news source only. Now it is all embroiled in choosing parties, yellow journalism, gossip and rumor mongering.
This was never the case. There is no time period anyone can point to where the media was objective rather than biased and opinionated. It exists only in some imagined rather than actual past. 24 hour networks may have made it worse in relation to the era immediately preceding their existence and expansion, but otherwise most media outlets functioned far more as open, biased advocates for certain positions, ideologies, and policies than they do now throughout most of our history. Yellow journalism, gossip, and rumor mongering is what ruled the day from the invention of the printing press until at least the 1970s. Factual, unbiased media reporting is predominately a fiction. Your conclusions about why one should be skeptical of the MSM as a source of information are right, but your idea that it was once just a dispassionate relayer of information is false.
