Catholic values in a hostile political climate

If anyone doubts the left leaning liberal bias of the mainstream news media, please explain why we continue to be kept in the dark about attacks on Christianity and stories that are anti Christian are blown out of proportion and reported over and over again.

How many readers of this article were aware of an attack on Christians in Gojra Pakistan on August 1^st of this year? If you are aware of it chances are you became aware of it through some small unaffiliated news outlet. I first heard about this attack today via the “Voice of the Martyrs” web site http://www.persecution.com/

Wondering why I had not heard of the attack until a month later I “googled” gojra aug 1. Not surprisingly on the first page of hits, not a single one was from a major news source.

The first 10 hits in order were;

More evidence of this was recently brought to my attention by a friend who ask me, “have you noticed that the continuous reporting of body counts and bombings in Iraq that were so prevalent all during the Bush administration have suddenly disappeared?” And miraculously they stopped the day Obama took office and have not resumed in spite of recent setbacks, amazing.   

The obvious lesson here is; do not rely on the NBC’s, ABC’s, CBS’s, Reuters, Associated press, and even FOX for all of your news sources. Because of the internet and the many sources available information is now available, we just need to look for it and determine which is reliable and which is not. The old days of trusting NBC, ABC, and CBS are over.
