More Propaganda


More Propaganda

The Evening Times is my local newspaper and I usually have a quick look at it online. It is primarily a local evening paper, being top-heavy with football stories about Glasgow Rangers or Celtic foorball clubs.

What then of this feature?



Apart from the absurdity of the red arrow –“ want more “local” stories like these” – why is it in the newspaper?  Why are comments disabled?

Isn’t this an example of tainted reporting, in the hope that evangelical Christians can be discredited by association with extreme and anti-biblical viewpoints? Paint all evangelicals as raving nutcases advocating drowning children and there is no need to give a reasoned answer to their objections to same-sex marriage.  Allow no comment and they cannot even make a reasoned response to such gutter journalism.

Next week, I am expecting a headline saying “Reliable Historical Source Shows Christians Ate Babies”

See Andy McGowan’s article at:  http://tinyurl.com/mekl96w

Not that Andy McGowan – the other one, I hasten to add.
