Just the tip of the iceberg

The news has reached an unparalleled level of fakeness. The numbers are cooked, the people quoted are actors, the details of the story are consistently fudged, the story itself is highly unlikely, if not implausible, on and on.

If people think that now that evil has gained so much territory their purveyors will be satisfied for awhile, forget it.  They're having too much fun mocking us, for one reason. It's game on, and we're dealing with "gamers".

Proverbs 27:20 says : [20] Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

I have always remembered my favorite professor from Ohio State University, Henry H. Schulte, Sunday editor-in-chief of the Chicago Daily News when it folded in 1978, telling us, "When you see the disappearance of a free and independent press that is the downfall of a society."

Proverbs 16: 27-29 says, “An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

[28] A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
[29] A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.”

Jordan relays in a study some years back, “I read that verse 27 and I wonder what these ‘newsmen’ at CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN think about themselves when they hear that verse. There’s always a motive behind gossip and that’s it. Gossip is a means to an end and that’s to separate people.

“Psalm 64 says, Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

[3] Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
[4] That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
[5] They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
[6] They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.’ "
