When watching television news, interviews, listening to radio or reading any mainstream newspaper or magazine, you should be viewing the material like a boss checking over his employees' self-evaluation report. "I might agree, then again maybe not. Where is the evidence that backs up why I should be giving this worker a raise?" So what are you looking for?
1. Coverups (or Memory Erasing)
So what are they trying to keep you from paying attention to yet again? Is it the laws government wants to change? An unnecessary war? A murder? A celebrity connection to some madness? Shady business dealings? What might the media reps be doing to get you to forget about what you heard or what you saw the other day coming from that rogue fraternal member who is now turning on his brothers and sisters? Time to erase your memory.
2. Lies
Last week, month or year you were told one thing, but now it is something different. Compare reports (if you can still find them). Save material whether seen on or off the TV screen especially when a case involves you or a family member. There are the lies that cover up lies, lies that are left unsaid, half-truths, and other types of lies. All must be proven wrong. Lies become person when they affect your well-being or someone else's you care about.
3. Exaggeration
The media will do it every time, exaggerate news stories! What may appear to be a bad earthquake, storm, or something else "tragic, bad" or the worse one has seen in years is usually not as bad as you think. Take the time to interview locals simply by making a phone call, visiting a person's blog or video page from that area and more before alerting everyone to how bad something is. You don't want to be considered a puppet, a pawn or an agent in the game now do you? Do your research!
4. Bullying
Talk show hosts and similar shows where people like to yell, argue, joke, etc. will bully a guest who starts sharing truth that deviates from the planned order of events for the show. They will give the honest guest a hard time because they don't want certain things about an A-list event, law, document, book, movie, government official, or a celebrity leaked out. Therefore, these reporters will talk real loud, criticize, speak about something else, or even threaten just so that someone speaking truth will shut up. Sometimes the guest is told to, "Shut up!" by the interviewer. Don't fall for it! Look up what the guest is alerting you to rather than getting caught up in the emotion and stay off those mainstream media sites that will only keep you brainwashed when seeking truth. The bully (an emotional commentator/reporter/writer) often goes to work when protecting certain entertainers (ie. athletes). You may have suspected some cheating going on at a national sporting event, but the media will distract you from not thinking too deeply (exercising your critical thinking skills) by putting their spin on things. "Go back to sleep...we know you won't question anything--we know you are a fan--watch those commercials,enjoy the show!" they hope you won't raise a stink. But if you do, they will get some talk show host to bully you on or offline with all your exposing.
5. Symbolism
There is a coded language between members of elitist groups and if you think there isn't you are deceived! Just like you have certain things you say at work that others may not understand outside of your job, so do those individuals who belong to powerful groups. So there is a lot said when one holds his or her hand a certain way, poses or winks while the camera is rolling. In addition, the wardrobe a person wears and the color makes a statement right along with the tattoo, earrings, necklace pendant, and more--they all mean something. Your job is to find out what it means and why would this person be communicating such a message at this time and to whom? Hold on to your wallet and your family.
6. Connections
Everyone has them whether poor, rich, black, white, and so on, connections. From civic groups to churches, someone is connected to a support system that may help you, but then again maybe not it all depends on your networth, service and namesake. Anyone who is a major figure in the news didn't get there just because they could sing, dance, throw a ball around, etc. someone or group permitted them to grasp the pages of certain award-winning media because "My mom is an affiliate of...my dad works for...I know..." You will want to find out what is that person's affiliations and what might that person be used for that keeps being flashed before your eyes on the nightly news. Maybe his or her story drives consumer spending up (mind you 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumers buying stuff). Who knows, maybe that popular celebrity that keeps making Yahoo's top ten searches sways the masses to think a particular way, live in a specific area, or moves children to act rebellious toward parents who later grow weary of them and drop them off at a government owned organization, etc. Whatever the purpose, you should be concerned particularly when your child or partner says things like, "I love that celebrity, I want to marry him...I think she is the best...I wish I could be her...Why don't we get that thing they have, honey it would make us so happy..."
7. Purpose
Ask yourself with every major news story presented before your eyes, "What is the purpose? Why do they want me to be concerned about strangers from XYZ county, who can't help me, and could care less about my family and I?"
Remember, from commercials to the music you repeatedly listen to everyday in your car, someone has something they want to say to you whether consciously or subconsciously. How often you listen to them, your choice. How much you will buy from them, your choice. Where you go, your choice. Who you support, your choice. Don't let media hype box you into a corner that you can't get out of!

G. Craige Lewis Shared Some Interesting Spiritual Insight about Superbowl Performance
If you missed an insightful blog entry by preacher and writer, G. Craig Lewis, then you might want to check out the link provided at the end of this blog post.
Christians who think that there is nothing wrong with compromising their beliefs to support dark entertainers are only stirring God up. Sooner or later the Creator is going to unleash his wrath, in other words, permit the devil to have his way on some individuals who have large platforms. Don't be that one who wonders why some of the biggest entertainers fall hard one day.
Christian entertainers, as well as secular ones, have unholy connections. They are expected to make appearances, show support, and more all in the name of masters who worship dark gods. By doing these things, believers abandon biblical precepts and don't fear God. They begin to act comfortable in their own "sin" and skin, and will not hesitate to defend their actions often negatively. They will accuse those who do hold them accountable to godly standards of being jealous, hostile, etc. Rather than permitting God's truth to set them free, they stay bound to money, fame, power, etc.
One day these chart-topping entertainers' years of work will mean nothing, so I have heard in the Spirit, and they will feel miserable asking themselves, "Why did I sell out the gospel of Christ for this?" Believers that walk on two sides of the fence are nothing more than a modern day Judas who thinks about committing suicide before he or she actually does it through over-eating, pill-popping, heavy drinking/partying and more. They must confess wickedness before the Lord and repent while they still have time!

When They Talk Too Much, They are Told to Change Their View
Oprah, Glenn Beck, Tom Joyner as well as many other talk show hosts in broadcasting and elsewhere in the media may initially have a great opinion about something--you know the kind of information that makes people think for a change, but then later on, as you follow the person more, you find out they have flip-flopped.
Changing one's view is okay in media just so long as the evidence backs up your new enlightened knowledge, so to speak. But the truth of the matter is the big mouth is warned or even threatened to say whatever he better say and believe it while convincing others he believes it, just so long as he or she doesn't bring the public back to what was said last week, last month or last year.
Many of these news organizations are given information from elite groups. The so-called major news events do nothing more than distract reporters from what their critical thinking skills are telling them in the first place. Rather than act on them, they allow themselves to be persuaded by owners so as to keep their jobs and name recognition. (And you thought that mainstream, award-winning journalists were unbiased and trustworthy--they are just good workers that do what they are told very well.)
Consider this, you or I sit in front of television cameras or a radio station's microphone sharing what our gut instinct tells us along with some reports and interviews that are valid, indisputable, and definitely will get the public off their feet. The public is buzzing after hearing this eye-opening information and all appears to be going well--people are thinking, questioning, researching, protesting, and even holding back their monies from certain businesses and groups that have lied to them. But Uh oh! Someone feels it is time to change the flow of things because an individual/business/group is being negatively affected by the protesting. So what does the threatened do? Give us some "breaking news" in a form of a press release, confidential file, email, audio recording, text, video, etc. in the hopes of changing our minds which will ultimately present a different angle to the initial impactful story. "That should hold them for awhile." says the threatened professional.
So when these unfortunate events take place in our media that draw huge crowds/readership/money, keep in mind that the reports following will be littered with distractions to keep you from finding out the truth. Some big mouth radio hosts and others will even go so far to say something the conspiracy theorists would like to hear just to draw him or her into their programming, because they know that truth seekers are skeptical anyway. Many researchers end up falling down the rabbit hole never coming up for air or truly helping anyone with their findings only further confusing them. The public falls for the conspiracy angle in a news story every time! Elitists know you are looking for the story beyond the story so they are going to give you something to chew--partial truth possibly or some wild distraction that will keep you angry, crying or laughing--black talk show hosts are good for that one.
Lastly, know that those mouthpieces in broadcasting who do the following: talk too much, bring out unsettling information, act like they are sincerely interested in finding out the truth and care about The People, etc. will change their view whenever they are told to by their owners. Therefore, it is better not to follow these mainstream puppets too closely or you just might be one of the unenlightened ones used and abused in the end.
