The Christian Outlook - "Our Orwellian Moment"
Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2021 3:40 am
Today I was listening to the radio and caught this program which I had never heard before and the portion I heard was very disturbing.

Frank Wright, the host, President and CEO of Truths that Transform was interviewed. (A ministry of D. James Kennedy) Apparently the Lifetime channel has been its home for many years until recently when Lifetime cancelled Truths that Transform completely.
They aired a program on abortion that included the captured footage of Planned Parenthood representatives caught on camera selling fetal body parts. This footage has been in the public domain and had also been previously aired. Lifetime told him not to air it and he did anyway. Lifetime then asked him to submit the next 3 programs he was set to air and those were also rebroadcasts - (I'm going from memory here) One on George Soros, another on George Washington's spiritual life, and another on George Soro's and his involvement in the 2016 Presidential election.
Lifetime said these programs did not meet the stations programming guidelines for fairness/balance and they could not be aired. When Wright attempted to air the first of them, Truths that Transform was dropped from Lifetime Network and lost 65% of its base on what can only be called viewpoint bias. These programs, 4 in all, had all been previously aired on Lifetime. When asked what had changed, Wright answered, "There was an inauguration in January."
The next portion of the program was about a book published by Ryan Anderson 3.5 years ago and released on Amazon entitled "When Harry became Sally" about Transgenderism.
Amazon recently pulled the book from its website. The guy they were interviewing, Carl Trueman of Grove City College identified himself as a liberal as did the woman who was interviewing him. Both were discussing how Amazon, being a private company and not a government entity is immune to first amendment protections and can decide what books they will sell and what books they won't sell. Over 50% of the worlds books are bought on Amazon and over 80% of the worlds ebooks. They said no publisher is going to want to publish a book that Amazon won't sell. Coming on the heels of the Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato head kerfuffle, it is all so surreal.
But none of this was as bad as listening to Rand Paul questioning Dr. Levine before Congress last week on whether minors - especially street kids with no agency should be allowed to make decisions that will make irreversible changes in their reproductive status and having Levine refuse to answer the questions.
