Mainstream Media Is A Symptom Of Our Illness

Kill a lion and be prepared for some harsh consequences.  Protests outside your place of business will make it impossible for you to stay open.  Calls for your arrest and extradition will be made publicly and loudly and covered on every major mainstream media outlet.  

Basically, life as you know it will never be the same.

On the other hand, kill a baby; get paid.  Dissect the parts of the baby and sell them; get paid.  Are there harsh consequences to be endured for this practice?  Apparently not!  Taxpayer dollars still flow to your organization at the tune of over a half a billion dollars per year. 

An undercover video that released details regarding the practice of Planned Parenthood triple-dipping has brought the wrath of others down upon them for releasing the video rather than the organization engaged in the horrendous practice.  Follow the money: (1) taxpayer funding; (2) abortions; (3) sell the body parts.  Why is this less newsworthy than the death of a lion? Furthermore, why would we persecute the whistle-blowers?

This morning I realized it was even worse as I briefly watched one of the TV networks cover the top stories of the day.  What can be worse than killing a baby or killing a lion?  According to our major news outlets there is something even more devastating.  Deflate a football and make headline news.  Wow!  We are in deep trouble in our country.  Cling to Christ!
