Mohler on the Media

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.
