A local television station uses “First Fast and Accurate” as their slogan in advertising. The first two adjectives cannot be evaluated as their is no independent criteria to determine who was first or fast.
The third adjective, Accurate, is also hard to evaluate, but for a different reason. If you were to read a news article or listen to reporters from different news agencies you are likely to get as many different stories on the same subject as journalists reporting.
Most of the variations are due to political leanings or biases of the reporters. All news agencies and journalists like to say that they are unbiased and report the truth. In recent years it has become obvious that this is simply not true.
When I lived in a foreign country I used to complain about the biased reporting. The only news came from a government television station and was extremely controlled by the government. I told everyone that this controlled and biased reporting would never happen in the states. Boy was I wrong!
So where can we find truthful and accurate reporting on the state of affairs and the human condition? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” You want to know about life, come to the creator and sustainer of life. You want the truth, come to the author of all truth. You want to know about how to live, come to the only one who can show you the way.
