Evaluating News Sources

Media Bias Chart, Gallery - https://adfontesmedia.com/gallery/
Some tips for evaluating news sites and journal articles:
Read More
Authority (the source of the information)
- Who is the author/publisher/source/sponsor? Have they demonstrated expertise and experience?
- What are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations?
- Is the author qualified to write on the topic? Has the author written other articles on the same or similar topic?
- Is there contact information, such as a publisher or email address?
- Does it have an *agenda or bias? Well-known does not always mean authoritative.
- When was the information published or posted?
- Does the date affect the content or context?
- Has the information been revised or updated?
- Does your topic require current information, or will older sources work as well?
- Are the links functional? (applies to the web)
- Where does the information come from?
- Is the information supported by evidence?
- Has the information been reviewed or refereed (said of articles or books that have undergone peer review)?
- Can the content be verified by multiple sources?
- Does the language or tone seem unbiased and free of emotion? Does this article provoke an emotional response? The intent of a valid news source is to inform. While an emotional response to specific information is to be expected, inaccurate news articles are often written for the sole purpose of provoking anger, outrage, fear, happiness, excitement or confirmation of ones' own beliefs.
- Are there spelling, grammar or typographical errors?
- Be skeptical of articles only appearing in one place that you are unable to confirm. What is the original source of the story? This is particularly important with images that are shared widely across social media.
- What is the purpose of the information? Is it to inform, teach, sell, entertain or persuade?
- Do the authors/sponsors make their intentions or purpose clear?
- Is the information fact, opinion or propaganda?
- Does the point of view appear objective and impartial?
- Are there political, ideological, cultural, religious, institutional or personal biases?

Evaluating News Sources, My Notes:
In our highly partisan-divided country, it’s important to know if the source is Left/Woke/Progressive/Liberal/Democrat OR Right/Conservative/Republican. Unfortunately it’s difficult to find truthful information in our current society. As an example, Google’s browser is totally WOKE (try a search for “climate change” to see what I mean). Tusk Browser is currently the best alternative. To discover right-wing-focused news and information, visit a conservative website such as Heritage or Heartland, and enter your search term there. Also beware of publications (The Epoch Times, for example) that contain a mixture of truth and conspiracies/false information. Do NOT trust any of its health information, since the newspaper is founded upon a false religion (Falun Gong, a made-up religion based on Buddhism). I find The Epoch Times to be the best source of reliable, conservative news articles, but critical reading is necessary. Christians must filter everything they read or listen to through the truth found in God’s Word, the Bible.

Common Sense 101
Read More
Since “common sense” seems not too common anymore, here are some basics as a refresher.
- God made 1) Male and 2) Female. Note: there is such a thing as “intersex”, although it’s very rare. Gender follows accordingly (albeit often women have male traits and vice-versa). "Feelings-based" genders, pronouns, and the like are pure nonsense and an attack on God's perfect plan for humanity.
- Marriage is between one Man and one Woman. Same-sex “Civil Unions” are fine, provided they stay platonic. Anything else is called “sin” (see homosexuality, covered below).
- Obey the police at all times--it's the best way to avoid injury or death.
- Don’t take drugs! These include street drugs such as meth, cocaine, heroin, etc. If you use cannibis, ensure it’s homegrown. This is vital in current society, where drugs can be laced with fentanyl. A small amount of it can kill!
- If you find yourself addicted to opioids, get help ASAP; do NOT switch to other drugs (see above point).
- Stay away from any form of crypto-currency. You know what happened to FTX. These companies crash/go bankrupt and worse all the time. Stick with the tried-and-true cash/check/credit card--at least for the time being.
- Don't utilize genetic testing (family tree research) kits, since they may be manufactured in China. Did you know the CCP can use Americans' DNA as a reference for nefarious purposes, such as gain-of-function virus manipulation?
Modern-Day Etiquette
Living in a world of over 8 billion, we need a set of rules to get along with each other. The Bible says "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is an excellent foundation. The old-fashioned Emily Post-style etiquette has morphed, living as we do today in a modern, tech-oriented society. Here are some of my ideas, below.
- Don't talk loud on your cell phone in public--better yet, text.
- Don't wear strong cologne or perfume in public places (some are actually allergic to these!)
- Watch where you're walking when in populated pedestrian areas; put the phone away and be aware of your surroundings. This also serves for safety purposes.
- Don't let the door slam in others' face(s); hold it if you see someone behind you
- Say "please" and "thank you".
- When driving, use your turn signal when preparing to turn. Similar driving courtesies can also prevent accidents.
- Keep your voice low in public places such as libraries, restaurants, parks, etc. Be aware that others wish to enjoy their surroundings, concentrate, focus, etc. (See #1)
- Parents with young kids/babies: Please discipline them properly when out in public. That means they need to talk low, and crying babies need to be taken elsewhere until they have calmed down. Note that discipline of children needs to start early if you want to raise a decent, considerate, polite, and successful adult.

christians & Current events

God has blessed us with Donald Trump for another four years! Americans have spoken at the voting booths. For that we are grateful. Hopefully he can get America back on track when he moves into the White House in January 2025. We see in the Old Testament how God uses imperfect people, and President Trump does have his faults. However, he is an excellent leader and knows how to deal with national and global issues. He approaches politics from a business point of view, making deals. We know it works, as his first term featured a successful and vibrant country in which we were proud to call ourselves Americans. The 2020 Wuhan Lab Virus? He did his best and no one could have handled it any better, in my opinion.
Current times are tumultuous and challenging. People now more than ever need hope, faith, and encouragement. Christians around the world are being persecuted and even killed, especially in China, India, Africa, and more (see Barnabas Aid website). We can share the Gospel with those who need to hear it and pray for our brothers and sisters in their suffering and persecution.
Our society is plagued by deception and lies, as well:
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1 ESV)

What to Expect in the Days Ahead (End Times Study) - http://middletownbiblechurch.org/prophecy/prophe2.htm
Some Signs of the End Times:
Deception:
"Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many" (Matt. 24:4-5).
The Sign of Disputes among Nations:
Jesus warned His disciples that the end of the age would be marked by "wars and rumors of wars" with nations rising against each other (Matt. 24: 6,7). As dissension escalates, we can view it as a sign of the times.
The Sign of Devastation:
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” (Matt. 24:7) Jesus warned of "famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. According to the World Health Organization, there have been recent outbreaks of yellow fever, the plague, Nipah virus, meningitis, and many others. To make matters worse, "superbugs" are developing resistance to antibiotics. We are also witnessing an increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes.
Christian Persecution:
In the Last Days, there will be a marked increase of antagonism toward God's people: "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake." (Matt. 24:9).
Revelation 2:10: Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer [be persecuted/afflicted] for ten days [perhaps a symbolic number meaning a significant and definite time]. But be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the ·crown [a wreath worn to indicate high status or as a reward] of life. -Expanded Bible (EXB)
Materialism:
..."And the book of Revelation tells us that that will happen. There will be an increasing interest in materialism,... (John MacArthur/1998 Sermon/Rev. 18:1-5)
https://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/80-195/the-final-economic-collapse-part-1
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Signs of the End Times websites:
Dr. David Jeremiah - https://davidjeremiah.blog/4-signs-of-the-end-times/
What preparations should Christians make in the End Times?
The enemy wants to deceive and manipulate people’s thoughts. Since the Fall of Man, we gravitate towards evil; and up until the time of Christ’s second coming, we will continue to struggle spiritually. Christians must uphold the authority of God’s Word in Scripture and reject the enemy’s propaganda outlets, including the media and Internet.
Evaluate all things in light of God’s Word. Trust in God and exercise discernment.

our woke society
Consumer’s Research Woke Alert - https://consumersresearch.org/wokealert/
Conservapedia (an excellent resource for debunking “woke”) - https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page
What does "woke" mean?
Definition of "Woke" from Merriam Webster Dictionary:
"Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”
My (and most conservatives') usage of the term refers to individuals and groups pushing their progressive, liberal, and/or immoral values and agenda via activism and/or division on all the citizens of a country.
Some examples of “wokeism” in our current society: LGBTQIA+; “racism” (including reparations for past slave ownership); DEI; ESG; “Cancel Culture” (rewriting history, destroying statues, renaming buildings and roads, etc.); “climate change”; censorship, etc. Examples abound in the current news; most government agencies, large corporations, and Big Tech have gone this route. The US is not alone in this mindset, either. Look at the UK, Australia, Canada, and other many other countries.
I believe that behind (or in addition to) this trend is a plan for global control (read up on this for yourself). What will be some of the techniques used? Diversion (celebrities, TikTok, video games, etc.) for one. Another is the concept of the “common good,” as in giving up individual rights for the benefit of the collective. Fear would be a third. In this case, "climate change” threatens humanity with "extreme" weather; hence opportunities to place us under their control.

Definition of "Woke" from Merriam Webster Dictionary:
"Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”
My (and most conservatives') usage of the term refers to individuals and groups pushing their progressive, liberal, and/or immoral values and agenda via activism and/or division on all the citizens of a country.
Some examples of “wokeism” in our current society: LGBTQIA+; “racism” (including reparations for past slave ownership); DEI; ESG; “Cancel Culture” (rewriting history, destroying statues, renaming buildings and roads, etc.); “climate change”; censorship, etc. Examples abound in the current news; most government agencies, large corporations, and Big Tech have gone this route. The US is not alone in this mindset, either. Look at the UK, Australia, Canada, and other many other countries.
I believe that behind (or in addition to) this trend is a plan for global control (read up on this for yourself). What will be some of the techniques used? Diversion (celebrities, TikTok, video games, etc.) for one. Another is the concept of the “common good,” as in giving up individual rights for the benefit of the collective. Fear would be a third. In this case, "climate change” threatens humanity with "extreme" weather; hence opportunities to place us under their control.

"The DSM, a classification and diagnostic guide published by the American Psychiatric Association, includes over 450 distinct definitions of mental disorders." From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mental_disorders
Where did these all come from? My guesses are: 1) basis for government/elite control; 2) opportunities for BIG Pharma (unhealthy chemicals, basically); 3) opportunities to claim "victim" status. Power and greed for the first two; refusal to accept personal responsibility for the third.
When I was growing up (60's, 70's, 80's), we had "shy", "neurotic", and several others. We possessed "personality"--something that God gives each person. We need to make the best of what we have been given, accept personal responsibility for our actions, admit and confess sin, and commit to doing all things for God's glory.

the “climate change” myth

MSM and woke proponents proposing this narrative nonstop. Here you'll find valid alternative views more aligned with the truth. "Climate Change” is actually natural climate variation, occurring since the beginning of time.

World Climate Declaration plus all signatories in PDF - https://shorturl.at/lDLTW
Summary:
Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Climate models have shortcomings and overestimate the effect of greenhouse gases, ignoring the benefits of CO2 for nature and agriculture. There is no climate emergency, and net-zero CO2 policy is unrealistic and harmful.
Key Points:
Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Climate models have shortcomings and overestimate the effect of greenhouse gases, ignoring the benefits of CO2 for nature and agriculture. There is no climate emergency, and net-zero CO2 policy is unrealistic and harmful.
Key Points:
- Climate Change Message: A global network of scientists and professionals urge for less politicized climate science and more scientifically grounded climate policies.
- Climate Change Causes: Natural and anthropogenic factors contribute to global warming, with the current warming being part of Earth’s natural climate variability.
- Climate Change Impacts: While CO2 is beneficial for plant growth and agriculture, there is no evidence linking global warming to increased natural disasters.
- Climate Change Stance: No climate emergency, no need for panic, oppose unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy.
- Global Policy Goal: Prosperity for all by providing reliable and affordable energy.
- World Climate Declaration (WCD): Brings together competent scientists to provide a balanced view of climate change.

What is ESG?
Environmental, Social, Governance is used as an investment strategy to “encourage” organizations to “act responsibly.”
ESG works by analyzing organizations across 3 criteria:
1. Environmental footprint
2. Stance on social issues
3. Internal corporate governance

What is Economics?
“Economics can be defined in a few different ways. It’s the study of scarcity, the study of how people use resources and respond to incentives, or the study of decision-making. It often involves topics like wealth and finance, but it’s not all about money. Economics is a broad discipline that helps us understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines, and make predictions about the coming years.”

Of course it wouldn't be that easy to take back America; here's what conservatives will be up against in the next four years.
Democracy 2025 is "a coalition of 280+ organizations representing millions of people, committed to disrupting any efforts by the Trump-Vance administration to attack our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy through strategic legal action in courtrooms and communities across the country."
Democracy 2025 is "a coalition of 280+ organizations representing millions of people, committed to disrupting any efforts by the Trump-Vance administration to attack our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy through strategic legal action in courtrooms and communities across the country."
Apparently, making America great again by restoring the rule of law, securing our borders, preserving traditional moral values and family, reforming the educational system, and more is "extremist" and a major "threat" to "democracy".

This has been the case for the past four years. Now that we've elected Donald Trump, hopefully he will "drain the swamp" to some extent, thereby eliminating some of this corruption.
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk will plan “massive downsizing” of the federal government as part of their work under the newly named “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE.

*Update: Trump elected for a second term; satch for a major downsizing of government and a "draining of the swamp".

Since Trump has been chosen for a second term, I doubt these groups will have as much of a voice for the next four years. They will not receive the support they've been given from the Democrats in the past.
What is Gender Dysphoria?
What is Gender Dysphoria?
Author's Note: This gender "confusion" is a SIN against God’s plan for the family (God created male & female). Oftentimes women have some male personality traits (I am an example) and interests; the same goes for men (they may like feminine things such as fashion, work as a nurse, etc.) They remain their birth sex (gender). Personally, I don't care for the "family" concept; however, if one wishes to procreate, the child(ren) should have both a mother and a father. It's been proven that boys raised without a father tend to be criminal-minded or involved with drugs, etc. Kids raised in single-parent households ordinarily don't turn out as well-adjusted citizens. They need the male and the female role models provided by both parents.
From the American Psychiatric Association:
“The term “transgender” refers to a person whose sex assigned at birth (i.e. the sex assigned at birth, usually based on external genitalia) does not align their gender identity (i.e., one’s psychological sense of their gender). Some people who are transgender will experience “gender dysphoria” which refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Though gender dysphoria often begins in childhood, some people may not experience it until after puberty or much later.”

LGBTQ+ Identification in U.S. Now at 7.6%
Personally, I don't care what people do at home in private, who they love, or what they do with/to their own bodies. However, Christians are called to identify sin where we see it. Regarding their pushing these lifestyles (mainly trans) on others via the "Pride" movement, this is just wrong! Why do you think they are so adamant about imposing their woke, sinful views on all of us?
What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?
The Word of God is evident in its view of homosexuality. The most commonly quoted Bible verses are Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13, which state that it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man as he would with a woman. In Romans 1:26-27, Apostle Paul says that homosexuality is contrary to God's natural order and results from rejecting God.
Additionally, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists homosexuality as one of the sins that will prevent someone from entering the Kingdom of God. While the Bible is clear in its view of homosexuality, it is essential to remember that God loves all of his creation and offers forgiveness to those who repent and turn away from their sins.

Bible Verses about Homosexuality:
- Leviticus 18:22 ~ "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."
- Leviticus 20:13 ~ "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."
- Jude 1:7 ~ "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire."
- Romans 1:26-28 ~ "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done."
- Mark 10:6-9 ~ "But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
- 1 Timothy 1:8-10 ~ "Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine..."

Definition from Brittanica:
censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing that is deemed subversive of the common good. It occurs in all manifestations of authority to some degree, but in modern times it has been of special importance in its relation to government and the rule of law.

Here is another topic for today’s global society—censorship. If you doubt this, just look up “climate change” on Google browser. You will find most every result to be in favor of this “hoax” perpetrated on us by the elite. A “climate change denial” search on Google turns up an Orwellian assortment of bullying towards we who understand there is no climate emergency, especially of the magnitude they purport.
As another example, read on the FDA’s site “Help Stop the Spread of Misinformation” https://www.fda.gov/ where they dispel many health “myths” and prompt us to become social media censors as well. I can tell you one outright lie the FDA perpetrated during COVID: denying the safety and effectiveness of Ivermectin. They also downplayed the effectiveness of HCQ (I used it for COVID). Rather than utilizing these low-cost, proven remedies to save thousands of lives, Democrats engaged in a coverup. Instead they pushed their not-thoroughly-tested and potentially dangerous (mRNA Moderna & Pfizer) vaccines. I am not “anti-vax” per se; however, we need to do our research. Both Ivermectin and HCQ are anti-malarial drugs. If you need to order Ivermectin, see The Epoch Times website.

- Disinformation.
- Climate Change. Note what organization appears at the top and the extensive range of information provided.
- Woke Map. Note the attacks and bullying terms directed at conservatives, etc.
- COVID. Three years later! Note all the info and the government agencies appearing at the top.
- Vaccines. Note the government agencies that pop up. Do you ever wonder why the PUSH? I do. Hint: BIG Pharma.
- COVID natural remedies. Formerly suppressed (when needed most), we are now seeing some. Ivermectin is now (too late) being discussed.
- Gender. Look at the definition at the top--it's certainly not Biblical nor scientific! What else do you find?
- Trans. Totally woke, as you see!
Note Climate Change vs. COVID-19: Apparently "Climate Change" is the CONTROL mechanism at the forefront now, so COVID overload is diminishing. To understand more about this "control" feature, watch the movie 1984 (or read the book).
I notice Wikipedia entries turning up as the first choice very frequently now. It's good for general reference; however, they are totally woke/liberal and in-line with the Democrats. No wonder Google features them at the top.

- Great Awakening Map (seen above) - “The great awakening map, also referred to as the QAnon map or Q Web, is a graphic linking together hundreds of world events, individuals, organizations and conspiracy theories to show the depth to which these things are interconnected and help QAnon adherents better understand the complexity of the world around them.”—ADL
- Illuminati - Both the New World Order and Illuminati conspiracies are rooted in a belief that “a cabal of elites is working behind the scenes to orchestrate global events to enslave the global populace,” explained the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Read about its origins @TheWeek - https://www.theweek.co.uk/62399/what-is-the-illuminati-and-what-does-it-control. Fact: There is an elite cabal out there that wishes to institute global control; read about this topic under headings WEF, UN, etc. However, just disregard the nonsense about celebrities, hand-symbols, and the like. The best way to debunk these is to actually visit the websites of the "elite" in question--. read for yourself what Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab have in mind. In other words, go straight to the SOURCE.
- Aliens & UFO’s - There is NO life on other planets; God put humanity here on Earth. “Sightings” are more than likely demons. More research is needed on this.
The above is a small sampling, as there are too many to cover here. Remember that none of this stuff is worth worrying about; fear is unhealthy mentally as well as physically. God is always in control; we need to Trust Him at all times.

Left-Wing Conspiracy Theories:

- “Racism” - It’s NOT a thing. Blacks have equal rights to whites; case closed.
- Trans Movement (men can be women and women can be men) - This is a progressive, liberal LIE. God created Male & Female. It's based upon the "feelings" movement (Plato) which has infiltrated society. Also Marxism may be involved.
