Ok, we all know the Fox “News” channel is full of shit. Take your pick of reasons, We all watched as they crowded as many flags into the screen while we invaded Iraq. We saw their opinion laden news with its extreme prejudice. A “fair and balanced” O’Reilly spouts strong conservative ideas.
This Sunday Fox is showing a special titled “Who is Jesus?” that features host Jon Scott on location in Israel.
Why does this bother me more than all the biased, opinion filled, flag waving news? After all, it doesn’t even have to do with the news, it isn’t using Jesus in any part of its news broadcasting and no real current news besides a blockbuster hit
What is up with Jesus lately? Is he making a comeback? First there’s all that fooferaw about ‘The Passion’, then Fox and CNN jump on the bandwagon, and CBS (I think it was) had some kind of an execrable drama the other night (Sunday, I think it was) about a Blonde Jesus. Luckily I was falling asleep at the time, so I didn’t have to turn it off.
Good God, enough with the Lord of All Media already – it’s making me agnostic!
Well, guess my anger was misguided, the entire American media has cashed in on this (un)Godly fad.
And it has become prevalent due to first our President declaring himself the sword of God, then a whole bunch of soldiers died in martyrdom for this dick waving, then lastly a blockbuster movie came out (complete with authorized merchandise that hel out the economy). All the while the media goes along with it because the American public is entertained by it more than drab stock reports (when I say entertained I don’t mean that they’re having a great time, just that they find it to be something they can all rally around and… well… feel all happy about themselves and the grand ol’ Red White and Blue).
phew.
Well, I went off topic some, not sure what is less related so I’ll just post it.
You obviously didn’t see the '04 Comeback Special. He’d gotten kinda fat–I anticipate a great Fat Jesus vs. Thin Jesus controversy–but he put on the sequined jumpsuit and belted out the tunes and the ladies still went crazy…
Didn’t Peter Jennings do a news story about the latest “Sinners Left Behind” series by Tim Lahaye and the other dude?
The big story is that Jesus Comes Again in the latest book and GASP…people are upset because /whiny voice/ that’s not how it is in the Bible! \whiny voice\
Gawd people! It’s a FICTIONAL BOOK. Chill.
Umm…sorry for the hijack.
. . . Then, of course, there’s the new sitcom Everybody Loves Jesus; TLC’s Trading Saviours; the HBO series Jesus Christ!; and Bravo’s makeover hit Christian Eye for the Heathen Guy . . .
