Lara Logan: Media Bias Exposed

Details
Published: 17 April 2020

Veteran journalist Lara Logan has joined Fox News Network's premium service Fox Nation.  In her second season of "Lara Logan Has No Agenda", she tackles all aspects of bias in some of the best reporting on each of the four stories outlined below. 

I find that Fox Nation's thousands of hours of premier programming and movies make it well worth $5.99 / Month or $64.99 / Year.

S2 E1 Part 1: Two Sides to Every Story

In Washington D.C., journalist Lara Logan meets with Nick Sandmann, dubbed 'the Covington kid' by the media, to hear his side of a story that went viral in 2019. Sandmann reveals how the media got it wrong from the start.

S2 E2 Part 2: The Hidden Faces of Hate

Journalist Lara Logan dives into the tactics of smear campaigns with two targets: Trevor FitzGibbon and Dinesh D'Souza. Logan also looks into the mechanics of Media Matters for America, an organization using the media to push their liberal agenda.

S2 E3 Part 3: Bias Has Victims

Journalist Lara Logan takes a deeper look at Antifa, a far-left militant movement that receives favorable mainstream media coverage, through the eyes of one of its victims: journalist Andy Ngo.

S2 E4 Part 4: All Bias is Global

One story has dominated media coverage for years: Russia's alleged involvement in the 2016 election. Journalist Lara Logan investigates how the liberal media distorted facts and discredited Devin Nunes and Carter Page to push their anti-Trump agenda.

 Greetings everyone, Happy Easter, Happy Passover,


Religious Freedoms are being suppressed like never before in our lifetimes.  Now we have a tiny, tiny taste of what the faithful see in other countries.

DOJ: 'Expect action' on government regulation of religious services amid COVID-19 outbreak

 
The Justice Department (DOJ) may take action next week against local governments that have cracked down on religious services as widespread parts of the country are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, a DOJ spokesperson said Saturday.

“While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly [and] not single out religious [organizations],” DOJ Director of Communications Kerri Kupec tweeted.

Mississippi churchgoers fined $500 while attending drive-in service

 
GREENVILLE, Miss. (WREG) — Churchgoers who attended a drive-in service at a church in Greenville, Mississippi, were fined $500 for reportedly violating a curfew order from the mayor.

During Thursday night service at King James Bible Baptist Church, while parishoners sat in their vehicles listening to Pastor Charles Hamilton, Greenville Police surrounded the church parking lot.

'Thank God': Rand Paul praises judge's decision to overrule Louisville mayor and allow Easter drive-in church service

 
Sen. Rand Paul responded to news that a Kentucky judge overruled a decision by Louisville’s mayor to prohibit local churches from holding drive-in services on Easter Sunday, calling it a victory for the First Amendment. 

“Thank God for a judge who understands the First Amendment prevents the government from prohibiting the free government exercise of religion," the Kentucky Republican said. “COVID-19 in Kentucky: Judge grants church's request to hold services."

Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians  Hardcover – February 25, 2020 

What Would You Surrender for God?
 
Christians in the Middle East, in much of Asia, and in Africa are still being martyred for the faith, but how many American Christians are willing to lay down their smartphones, let alone their lives, for the faith?
 
Being a Christian in America doesn’t require much these days. Suburban megachurches are more like entertainment venues than places to worship God. The lives that American “Christians” lead aren’t much different from those of their atheist neighbors, and their knowledge of theology isn’t much better either.
 
Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes the pitiful state of Christianity in America today, lays out the stakes for us, our families, and our eternal salvation, and invites us to a faith that’s a lot less easy and comfortable—but that’s more real and actually worth something.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - Guarded Even Today

Published: 03 April 2020
First... Thank you to every veteran for your service to our nation.

Despite the threat of Coronavirus, The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ('The Old Guard') continues to stand guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as it has since 1937.

During our current extended stay at home period, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton's book "Sacred Duty" is an excellent non-political outline of the varied service of this amazing unit.

New York Daily News:

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier remains guarded 24/7 despite coronavirus threat

 
The Army’s 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment continues to stand guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, even though Arlington National Cemetery is closed because of the coronavirus lockdown.

“For us, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hurricane, or if it’s the coronavirus.” Cpt. Harold Earls told CBS affiliate WUSA9. “We are always here, we are always guarding.”

Sentinel Earls is part of a tradition that began July 1,1937, and has seen more than 30,000 straight nights of patrol. The gravesite he and fellow servicemen and women guard holds the remains of unidentified soldiers from America’s foreign wars. The first burial was approved by congress in March 1921 and represents unaccounted for U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in WW1.
