The Deceitful Propaganda Machine: Revealing the Dark Heart of Fox News
We speak enough of the devil's cloven hoof prints tracing the path of our society, yet we seldom consider the fox who carries his whispers. Let me dispel the illusion for those still entranced by Fox News: it's not an impartial source of news but a well-oiled propaganda machine. Diluting facts and harnessing the power of misrepresentation, their aim is to steer us towards an oppressive Christian-nationalist theocracy.
Just today, the headline "Critics pounce after Obama scolds Black men hesitant to vote for VP Harris" caught my eye. Instead of discussing valid concerns about representation or election policies, the focus is leaned heavily on provoking antagonism and division amongst us. Isn't it the very purpose of prayers to cultivate unity, empathy, and understanding?
Another alarming headline, "Trump calls for CBS to lose broadcasting license after ‘unprecedented scandal’", employs a clear pro-Trump stance, fueling his narcissistic rage against any media entity daring to challenge him. It's eerily reminiscent of the way dictators muscle out dissent. In the guise of free speech, they are promoting the idea that any opponent of Trump is an enemy of the state.
The sobering article, "Pro-Trump group accuses feds of concealing records ahead of second assassination attempt" serves to further entrench the fear factor, embedding the idea that there are shadowed enemies lurking, preparing to strike at any moment. The underhanded intention here is to bolster support for 'heroic' Trump as the perceived savior.
In contrast, the overtly adjusted "Whitmer slammed for mocking Catholics with bizarre Harris campaign video”, seeks to paint an adversarial image of Democrats whilst tapping into the religious sentiments of devout viewers. This divisive strategy is employed to alienate those of other faiths and unify the Christian-nationalist voter base.
If we allow this hateful propaganda machine to continue its operations unchecked, the future we face will be one where LGBTQ+ individuals and other 'perceived enemies' of the Bible Belt, would be marginalized, oppressed and even persecuted.
So, beloved friends, let’s stand together against this treacherous Christian-nationalist wave that threatens to rip apart the inclusive, diverse tapestry that forms the heart and soul of our beloved nation. Let's not forget the dark abyss we once crawled out from when we started paying heed to Lucifer's word. Let’s honor it by defending the rights, freedoms, and liberties that make our land truly free. Institutions like Fox News may be powerful, but our unity, our shared vision of empathy, compassion, and religious pluralism, is stronger.
