2. MSM is Church for Most Americans. Whatever MSM says IS Truth and How an American must Live!
Edited on Mon May-05-08 04:59 AM by quantass
MSM has never had a Black Pastor and cuz its a new Angle its a new story for Ratings...Everyone
knows the ins-outs of Catholic pedophile priests but because this is new and has the angle for race-baiting this is a ratings bonanza and they will (and have) jumped all over it....sure what Wright is saying isnt all that important and their have been priests (such as Hagee) that have said worse and the media ignores and i think yes it is a double-standard but this is the media for you....they intentionally are the ones making news for the sake of ratings....

hagee and others have said far worse, just check YouTube but the media doesnt care and come the GE it STILL wont matter...There's also the angle that because white america have already witnessed and accustomed to the corruption of there own white churches from past scandals but they still attend those churches these church goers understand and condone it....however, this new angle of a black pastor who, when you check the surmons in full, is actually speaking the truth (but with more intensity and less sugar-coating) it is deemed very strange and thus a new ratings angle for the media to exploit....all they need to do is take short sound-bites out-of-context and blanket it as a "hate speech" and presto BIG RATINGS....its a wet dream for them...let the 100-day Roman-style debauchery begin....Are they lying to the people? Sure, but the real purpose of news and the media isnt about truth, its about entertainment. Whoever thought it was a good idea for corporations to own the MSM must be rolling in their grave.

Sure its the viewing public that are tuning in to be "entertained" and sadly dont question the media about the relevancy or the importance of such issues but thankfully for the media the public is too dependent on them to question validity.

Ironic since the Church is your subject.
