Reaping What We've Sown

https://www.dailywire.com/news/50323/trump-calls-out-nyt-changing-headline-after-james-barrett?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro

The founder of the NY Times used the slogan "News without fear or favor".

Since the Times withdrew the headline "Trump Urges Unity vs Racism" and replaced it with "Assailing Hate But Not Guns", it seems that it very clear that the NY Times mostly prints leftist "news".

I listened to NPR for about 6 hours on Wednesday. If that was your "news", you would likely be completely convinced that Trump essentially pulled the trigger in the El Paso shooting, and be nearly unaware of the Dayton shooter ... let alone his leftward political leanings covered here,

The idea that the El Paso shooter was somehow a Trump supporter is even questionable -- his "Manifesto" sounds more like the Unabomber. 

The US mainstream media has been all about marginalizing people with any views that didn't fully align with the elite orthodoxy of Political Correctness dejour for a long time.  Reagan was maligned as racist, warmonger, sexist, etc., and the beat has just got more strident.

The difference is that the right now has an equally strident voice in Trump, and since he has a Twitter account, he is harder for them to silence -- though not impossible, (see Jeffrey Epstein)

We are now blessed with strident voices from both left and right, which would indeed be a blessing if we realized that listening to only one side will do nothing but create hatred and violence. We need ALL sides! We need to hear and understand all sides of issues!

Proverbs 19:20-21 New International Version (NIV)

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

We removed God from our culture, we removed respect for life with Roe, and increasingly we are told that life has no meaning beyond getting what we each individually desire.

The wages of sin have always been death -- often young, violent, and very lonely. This has been known since Romans 6:23 -- sadly, we are increasingly reminded of this truth.
