This thread is about the media —— not religion:
The issue matters not. The media decides which side gets the shaft. Example: Blaming conservatives for government shutdowns is the media template every single time the majority of Americans disagree. Most recently the ACA, and amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens —— not the 11,000,000 illegals the media has been lying about since 2008. Mark Levin called it right, but the media says the opposite:
You get a prize if you can name one issue when the media does not shove the Socialist agenda down the public’s collective throat including presidential elections. Bottom line: A small handful of media barons decide every issue.
The solution going nowhere
Eliminating tax deductible advertising dollars will not happen in this century although it is the only possible solution to curbing media abuses without violating the First Amendment. Media will never change the way they carry out their business of selling, but making buying media time very, very, expensive will at least pass advertising costs to every group selling something. The media sure as hell will not eat the higher advertising rates when nobody gets a tax deduction for any reason; not for products, not for charities and, most important of all, not for political causes.
Finally, the movie industry is media’s second most profitable advertising source of revenue. Political campaign advertising dollars is number one. Denying tax deductions to those two is a consummation devoutly to be wished by everyone who ends up paying for it.
Realizing that the best way to fight any war is to first wage a media campaign to convince others that the cause is noble and the enemy evil, opponents of Salvatore Cordileone, the archbishop of San Francisco, have brought in the infamous public-relations maven Sam Singer to escalate the war over the issue of whether San Francisco’s Catholic schools should actually be Catholic.
In his war against the Church in San Francisco, Singer is using the media in the same way, feeding them stories of “concerned Catholic parents” and oppressive clergy. The stories seem to have had an impact. The editors at the San Francisco Chronicle recently asserted that while they would not “quarrel with Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s determination to ensure that his rigid interpretation of Church doctrine is taught at four Catholic high schools,” he “could not be more out of touch with the community he has been assigned to serve.”
XXXXX
Singer has said that himself, suggesting that his mission is to “push the facts as our clients see them.” Noting that Singer “has a complex relationship with the truth,” reporter Joe Eskenazi wrote in the Weekly that “the truth, after all, isn’t exactly Singer’s milieu.” That is, “Singer is playing by a different set of rules” and “traffics not so much in truth but the perception of truth.”
This is what makes the battle with Singer so hard to fight: His side gets to play by a different set of rules.
