Al Mohler—whose blog I have now decided to make a daily read—is suggesting ten principles for responsible evangelical engagement with the news media.
1. In a fallen world, everyone is biased.
2. News reports are heavily filtered--and the filters matter.
3. The media are driven by commercial interests.
4. The media elite is demographically and ideologically removed from the world inhabited by most Americans.
5. Headlines often lie and language often misleads.
The next five will come tomorrow. Read the whole thing to see the explanations and documentations.
