Wag the Dog

Insteresting intro today to the movie "Wag the Dog."
Though a quite extreme storyline, I was a little more awakened to how journalism and the media controls and sets the agenda for Americans and their political preferences. Sortof makes me wonder....what really IS true that is coming from the mouths and fingers of journalists these days? If we can't trust what the TV news is saying, how can we trust the internet, newspapers, radio....Will we ever know the truth about our political candidates, about our political system, about whether or not the wars and nuclear weapons are as dangerous/safe/non-existent as the media informs us that they are.
Thank God, this is NOT the end. Thank God that the rulers and professionals and presidents and kings of the earth are nothing but mere humans just like us, who make mistakes, who are not all-knowing and all-powerful..who are merely...mortal.
Thank God that though we cannot find truth in the world's eyes, we CAN find ultimate truth from the Creator of the Universe, through the Bible and through the knowledge of the Sovereign God.
