Liberal Bias in the Media?

Breaking News! There's Liberal Bias in the News Media!
Tell us some thing we don't know. Conservatives have known this for years, but now that we actually have proof, it will be interesting to see how the media's coverage of events and certain people and issues changes. For example, the media has not been kind to prominent conservatives over the years-Conservatives such as President Bush, and Dr. Falwell and the Moral Majority. It would be interesting to see if the coverage changes. I doubt it will, but We'll see.
As to the fact that journalists gave to Liberal causes over conservative causes at a ratio of 9:1, I say, that's their right, but while they have the right to give money to causes that they believe in, they also have the responsiblity to be impartial, and many journalists are not impartial at all. Some are, but there are many who are in the tank for one side of the political spectrum or the other.
I found the comments of my friend James Zipadelli to be very interesting. James is a grad student who is studying journalism up in Boston. He has some great insights as a journalist, and his column on this issue is a good read. He argues that journalist should not give to any political campaign, and I agree with him, but how can you stop someone from giving money to organizations that they agree with? How can you do that when we in America have the freedom to do with our money what we want?

Gone Home- Ruth Graham

Mrs. Ruth Graham, Wife of Billy Graham and mother of Franklin Graham, was called home to be with our Jesus today.

I can't help but feel that with her passing so close to that of Dr Falwell that the American Church has lost some giants of the faith recently-giants who may not be replaced. Are we willing to risk everything to follow Jesus? These were, but I fear many in the American Church today are not.

Jesus, make us your willing vessels. Lord, if I am not willing to risk everything to serve You, I want to be willing. I ask that You would make me willing. I am willing to be made willing. Thank You for the examples of willing servants You provided in the lives of Dr. Falwell and Mrs. Graham. Please watch over their families. Watch over Billy and Franklin and the rest of the Graham family and comfort them in thier time of need.
Holy Father, Raise up Your Sevants to carry on the work of spreading Your Gospel, and anoint us with the Holy Spirit as we tell others the Good News of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
In Jesus Name I pray
Amen and Amen

Updates Coming!

Hey everyone!
I know it's been a while, and I promise more posts are coming soon! As a teaser, look for my thoughts on the 2008 Presidential Candidates and More of my Open Letter Series...
While you're here, check out the new links I have posted in my sidebar... Silence or Music? and A Walk in My Shoes are written by two dear brothers in Christ from college. Also, take a look at Curt Schilling's blog, 38 Pitches. It's a fantastic read, especially if you are a Baseball fan in general and a Sox fan in particular.
That's all for now!
Grace and peace!
