Among
the powerful anti-life and anti-family
forces are much of the mainstream liberal
media. These are US giants like CNN, ABC
and the New York Times. Now we are seeing
the same thing in the Philippines, as
evidenced by the current election campaign.
ABS-CBN, PDI and others have shown their
bias for the pro-choice, pro-RH, pro-population
control candidate for President. ABS-CBN
especially is shameless in dishing out
black propaganda, twisting facts, imparting
half-truths and doing biased reporting.
So much for truth and responsible journalism.
Liberal
media will be a major enemy in the culture
war. Unfortunately, they are very successful
in forming minds and hearts and in promoting
the anti-life, anti-family, homosexual
agenda. We will have to find ways to counter
them and impart the truth.
We
have our work cut out for us.
Andrew Breitbart: 'The Left is,
in Essence, the Media'
By

ANGELES, California, May 7, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- The bias of the
liberal media is so deeply ingrained that
it is an essential part of its structure
- one that conservatives must fight hard
to challenge effectively, according to
conservative new media guru Andrew Brietbart.
"The
left, to me, in essence, is the media,"
said Breitbart
an interview
with CBN's Matt Brody.
Big
liberal names like House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, he explained, "possess limited
charms." "Their
ability to get what they need to get done
is because they're carrying the water
of the media," said Breitbart.
"The media
is a left-of-center ecosystem, it's a
left-of-center organism. So the media
can change the dynamics of what we're
talking about."
Known
for attacking liberal media bias head-on,
Breitbart is a political commentator who
owns his own news web site, Breitbart.com,
as well as the blogs Big Hollywood, Big
Government and Big Journalism. He also
serves as an editor for the Drudge Report.
“I
aim everything at attacking the media
for its biases and holding them accountable
for their biases, and the things that
they report incorrectly, or the things
they fail to report,” he said.
“By
aiming everything at the media I’ve
pretty much done the one thing they ask
you not to do. ‘Please accept the
premise that we’re fair, and let’s
move on.’ No. I’m not going
to accept that premise.
“For
these people to tell me with a straight
face that they don’t come to the
media and their jobs from a political
perspective, from a left-of-center perspective,
is just a bald-faced lie.”
When
facing mistreatment by the media, Breitbart
urged conservatives not to play by the
rules as defined by the mainstream media.
"These people
don't fight fair," he said. "The
left does not fight fair, and so I'm basically
saying to conservatives, you don't have
to fight fair.”
“I
want to break down this politically correct
paradigm. These are rules that tell conservatives:
you're not allowed to say this, you're
not allowed to think that. This type of
Orwellian thought crime crap is what I'm
fighting against."
While
not strongly religious himself, said Breitbart,
the attack on Christians
perpetrated by the mainstream media
"angers me to no end." "I
consider myself to be a Judeo-Christian.
... I relate to the world view that America
has," he said. "It's a distinctly
Judeo-Christian one and I think that it
works."
But
Christians, he said, will only exacerbate
the problem if they continue to react
passively to media slander. "Christian
turn-the-cheek tactics do not work agianst
this crowd,"
he said.
Breitbart
said he hoped his battle against the liberal
media could become "an international
movement," and likened the battle
to the previous century's battle against
Communism.
"This
is the same battle that Ronald Reagan
and many millions of other people fought
in the 20th century, it just has a 21st
century new media battleground,"
he said. "The
Cold War is now a new media war."
"For
to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
