This is a helpful discussion which illustrates how the
corporate-political relationship works. I think if anything this reporter is a
bit naive. I'm far more cynical than he is.
It's a pretty unscrupulous world and the Left is as guilty
as the Right. However, I was pleased to note that he did bring out the
differences in the nature of their organizational forms.
It reveals how many think-tanks and other groups are little
more than propaganda machines. Big money is out to manipulate both the
citizen-consumers and the politicians. It's the old power game.
In Conservative circles the Church has endorsed this and
helped to create a circular make-believe world. We write our own histories,
report our own news, take our own polls, and use our own think tanks and
sources to report the news and write more histories. This is the FOX news model
when it comes to journalism. People are trapped in a circle that they can't
escape from.
This is not how we apply Biblical truth to the world around
us. This is not a Christian Worldview. We believe the Bible speaks the Truth
and if history doesn't match up to how we think it should be... then maybe we
need to go back to the Scriptures and re-think the issue.
When I bring this up to Christians the common response is...we're
just doing the same the thing they do.
Well, that doesn't fly in Christ's Kingdom. We don't play
the world's game and we don't play by their rules.
Basically this argument is saying that they lie, cheat and
steal so we have to as well (or even better) in order to win.
Such wisdom is spawned in the Pit and has no part in Zion.
