What Christian media? Western mass media is mostly secular.
- senderista 5mo agoHaving known some Palestinian Christians, typical evangelicals in the US don't give a damn about their suffering.
- __patchbit__ 5mo agoTo my mind the West is Christian since when before the wars after 2003 and the followup mass influx dangerous immigration. And, the West's Christian mass media did used to cover power less biased to or blinded by the Zionists of the present.
- graemep 5mo agoWestern mass media has not been Christian in any meaningful sense for many decades. Much of the ruling class has not been more than nominally Christian for much longer. Maybe less true in the US than in Europe, certainly true in the UK. Even in the US there has been a lot of talk about Christianity, but very little actual influence on policy: and certainly not enough influence to motivate economic change or adopting Christian policies towards the poor. The best known Victorian novel about Christmas does not refer to the birth of Jesus at all! Can you imagine someone from England a centuries earlier writing a Christmas story without Christian references? At best you are thinking about Christian culture rather than the actual religion, but Western culture retains a huge amount of Christian influence so I would not say that is a thing of the past.
