   Media (The World as it “Should” be) One might divide media into news and entertainment. However, in practice both serve to advance the propaganda of the left in general and Satan in particular. Having created a society where the influence of parents has been reduced, this conduit of information is used to imprint an alternative to truth. A reporter once reflecting on his work in the 1960 presidential election commented that he had been assigned to travel with the Kennedy campaign while a good friend of his had been assigned to travel with the Nixon campaign. He had teased his friend about his bad luck and his friend responded that he thought he could do Jack (Kennedy) more good reporting from the Nixon campaign. Most people who work in this field understand the effect their work can have. News media is often populated with people who see truth more in terms of how things should be so if reporting on an unfavored politician, he is often portrayed as being opposed, causing contention, or making statements that are unsupported. Even things such as poor lighting all contribute to advancing what is sometimes called a “greater truth”. For people in entertainment media, telling stories is already being untruthful. However, telling stories in such a way that associates feelings with a particular image, situation, or political view can imprint people and in particular children. For example, if space aliens only had TV programs from which to determine what life on earth was like they might conclude that fathers were a subhuman life form.  Media is a perfect tool to use to funnel a culture into a populace that has had their culture removed. As Satan has decimated family and the culture and values they had passed down for millennia, children are open to the imprint of media to absorb a new culture. God invites people to know truth and explore selflessness. Satan’s plans are better accomplished by having people imprinted with selfishness and exchanging truth for feeling good. A disinclination towards truth makes one much easier to control. While those that manufacture media often use it to imprint the recipient with the message they wish to impart, the consumer of media often is unaware of how he has been manipulated. For example the teenage boy who comes to realize that a life of casual fornication that seemed desirous with the James Bond films is actually harmful. The gal in her late 30s expecting that she will always continue to be the object of passionate desire may find that the romance novels she has read did not paint an accurate picture.   Immersion in an artifical world often leads to expectations that are not based on reality. The two ways to minimize the effects of this distortion are to avoid media or to grow adept in discerning truth. Christians can learn from the bible that discernment has to be exercised. Since so much of what is in the media is false, watching it can be a good way to exercise discernment. |
