There was a time when news journalists sought the truth, and they would not report their stories until they had received confirmation of the truth from at least one or two sources.
Today, however, perhaps it is fair to say that most news journalists have no interest in truth, for they are just like politicians and heads of religions: neither of which seeks the truth.
These three---journalists, politicians, heads of religions---know they are not telling the truth, for they know they are telling people exactly what people want to hear; and the people everywhere, nonetheless, believe in the journalists, politicians, and heads of religions, for they have found three sources that are in agreement with their own hearts.
For these three and the people following them have exchanged the truth of God for a lie and they are proud of it:
"Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." (Romans 1: 25)
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1st John 1: 8-10)
In truth, they have their ears tuned to jungle book theology, for their belief is in the Serpent, rather than believing in the Son of God, who is Jesus Christ our Lord.
