I want the truth!

As some of you have read and now understand about me is that I want the truth. The kind of truth that I'm talking about is the kind that isn't tainted, isn't censored, isn't manipulated, and isn't distorted. I would argue that most people on the face of this earth want the same thing. Who wants to be lied to or manipulated? No one...at least no one I've ever met. The fact is, in this world today we are being lied to and are being made the fool. I want to take a stand against those lies and challenge them like many others before me and who have been and are doing that to this very day. The war in Iraq has been very challenging for me. What I want to share with you is something that I have watched 3/5 of and would encourage you to watch as well.

Bill Moyers is a outstanding journalist who is extremely respected in the media and press. He has held himself to the highest of character and has practiced real hard "democratic theory of the press" type journalism. His recent show was on how the media didn't do it's job of questioning the government pre-Iraqi Freedom. Here is a quick little blurb of something Moyers said:

As Moyers explained in the introduction:

The story of how the media bought what the White House was selling has not been told in depth on television. As the war rages into its fifth year, we look back at those months leading up to the invasion, when our press largely surrendered its independence and skepticism to join with our government in marching to war.

Our Founding Fathers wanted the Press to be free from any sort of censorship or control. Thomas Jefferson even though didn't like the press a lot of the time knew that the Press would be the "Watchdog" for the people. This "Watchdog" was caught off guard in the months leading up to the Iraq war...or were they?

My challenge is this: set aside your political affiliation, your mindsets and pre-dispositions, just watch this show and afterward reflect on it. The greatest thing God created us with is brains that can make choices. Wisdom, knowledge, faith, hope...it has all been created and instilled in us by God Himself. We can make a choice and we can think for ourselves. I challenge you to do just that.
