Prayer Alert! Franklin Graham Warns Christians of "Biased Media" Swaying the Election

Martin Bürger : Jul 20, 2020  LifeSiteNews

"We must be very careful about what information we believe. We have a very important election coming up, and media powers are putting forth every effort to spin the story and sway the thinking of the American people." — Franklin Graham

(Charlotte, NC) – [Lifesitenews.com] – Popular Christian preacher Franklin Graham stressed the importance of the November presidential election, arguing that "media powers are putting forth every effort to spin the story and sway the thinking of the American people."

Graham commented on the resignation this week of The New York Times op-ed staff editor and writer Bari Weiss. Her resignation, he said, "confirms what many people already have known — The New York Times is biased to the left, socialist, radical agenda of the Democratic party."

"In her resignation letter, she said that it was very difficult to get anything published that did not ‘explicitly promote progressive causes' and if something was published, it could happen only ‘after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated,'" the preacher explained.

"That's very telling," he added. "The founder of the Media Research Center said that her resignation makes the point that journalism is dead at The New York Times and it's been replaced by censorship that is controlled by radicals."

Weiss had sent her resignation letter to Times publisher A. G. Sulzberger on Tuesday.

"Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4,000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world?" she asked rhetorically. "And, so, self-censorship has become the norm."

She also mentioned that the newspaper essentially used Twitter as "its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions."

Her own experience of the corporate culture was thoroughly negative. "My own forays into Wrong think have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views," Weiss revealed. "They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I'm ‘writing about the Jews again.' Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by co-workers."

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll, "most voters are eager to find fair and balanced media coverage but think the majority of news organizations these days are politically biased."
