Christianity and the Mainstream Media

It's no mystery that the mainstream media has willed to deconstruct the so called "evangelical movement" in this country for many years. The real question is why? The United States was founded upon Godly principals, and with over 70% of Americans claiming themselves to be Christians, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense why the media doesn't take a more pro-Christianity stance than they do. Evangelical voters play a huge factor in political elections, epecially in the Southern States. Films in recent years like The Passion of the Christ and Facing the Giants have been huge successes. So, again, why is the media so biased toward evangelicals in this country? The answers...too many biblical points contradict with the media's social agenda. The Bible strongly speaks out against many social injustices like abortion and gay-marriage, both issues are media strongholds. Many of the journalists and editors at the big media corportations (like GE...which owns NBC News, a far left institution) are also extremely liberal, and only serve to cast a shadow of hatred on the evangelical movement. Finally, the Media toy with those who will not fight back. Those folks who they can continually polk with a stick again and again. The Bible speaks on loving another person as one's own self, and therefore, Christians are above the mudslinging that the media take part in everyday.
