The main stream media has an agenda. I know, no one's ever said that before, right? This outrage over media bias has certainly grown in the past few years, but media bias is nothing new. And it isn't limited to the liberal "news" outlets like CNN and MSNBC; FOX News, "Fair and Balanced", also has a liberal bias, but they actually work at presenting a more balanced view. Yes. FOX News.
Before you blow a gasket, hear me out. When was the last time FOX News referred to pro-lifers as pro-life instead of anti-abortion? Are illegal immigrants called illegal, or are they called undocumented? Is it climate change, global warming, global cooling or weather? See, words and terminology matter. Products of conception or a fetus?
You see, I am old enough to remember when murdering your own baby was actually illegal. I am old enough to remember when the next climate crisis was going to be an ice age. I am old enough to remember when practicing infidelity was enough to knock a man out of the race for president (Gary Hart) because of the character issues it raised. I remember when a person's reputation and good name were actually taken into account. I remember when common sense was actually common.
But I digress. What is all the fuss about media bias? It isn't new. As someone who has been pro-life my entire life; and really shouldn't everyone be?; I've seen the media bias in action since the 1970's. The pro-life faction, which organized the March for Life in 1974, has never been called pro-life, it is always anti-abortion. For the past 45 years, every single year from 1974 through 2019, there has been a March for Life in Washington DC on or near the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision. What mainstream media outlet covers it? Literally, hundreds of thousands regular Americans go to Washington DC every year to show our respect for life from conception to natural death. Did you know? Do pro-lifers stand around bemoaning it? Not really. We put our heads down and go about our work. Oh, and we're winning. Even without any fair media coverage.
Somehow, someway, the truth manages to be told. More people than not admit life begins at conception, the argument now, is when that person gains "personhood". The main stream media really wanted Ms Clinton to win, and yet, the American public saw through that smoke. Politicians, the media, elites and the spoiled Hollywood bunch all want to tell us what we know, how we should behave, what we should believe, and what morals we should live by. We, the great unwashed, continue to go about our lives, raising our families, doing our jobs, and voting, praying and hoping for the best for our country.
