Earlier this month Hillary Clinton had a town hall in Pennsylvania
and was asked a question by 15 year old Brennan Leach, who is actually an
actress and has appeared in political TV ads!
This was an obvious setup as she read from a script and had a red ribbon
in her hair so that she could be easily selected. Brennan's father is Pennsylvania Democratic
State Senator Daylin Leach. She was
clearly a plant in the audience and this was not a spontaneous event. The major media completely missed this - no
wonder they are not trusted.
In a recent study by the American Press Institute, only 6%
have “a great deal of confidence” in the press.
About 52% said they have “some confidence” in the press and 41% said
they have “hardly any confidence.”
Truly, we have found the 6% solution - go to the web and do your own
research.
Could it be that many are iffy about Young Earth Science
(YES) due to the overly biased media? If
you google "young earth science" you get about 27K hits. Many of the items on the first page look at
YES in a positive light. DuckDuckGo also
provides some helpful results. If you
search on Yahoo! you can reach a number of pro-YES sites.
Let's look at some examples of the slanted press. The Boston
Globe labels YES viewpoint as "indefensible and even embarrassing." They further quote Bill Nye's claim that
human-dino coexistence is "completely unreasonable." Yet 41% of Americans believe humans and
dinosaurs shared the planet.
Another story in the Boston
Globe quotes Christiana Peppard (Fordham University) who denies that we
live on a youthful planet. Globe journalist Brandon Ambrosino had this to say about the
young earth view:
Most scientists would disagree, since those who believe the earth is billions of years old don’t come to that conclusion by guesswork, but rather by, among other methods, radioactive dating ...
But this statement is not documented. We are actually crowd funding an effort for
an age-of-the-earth poll. Many
scientists that are pro-YES are pressured to keep their opinions under their
hat (Expelled anyone?). Brandon should read our book YES - Young Earth Science where we
refute radiometric dating and other old earth arguments. Neil Young spoke at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles earlier
this year (we visited last year). Maybe
Neil Young (Earth ♫) should read our
book too.
Michael Patrick Leahy, writing in the LA Times, dissed Sam Harris' (Waking Up) view that half of Americans
accept that the earth is only thousands of years old. Leahy seems to be unaware that a full 36%
doubt that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Michael - please read my book.
On the positive tip, the NY Times was kind enough to publish a letter from a medical doctor
who bashed the NYT staff ethicist for
calling a young earth Ph.D. candidate's views "nonsense" and
"nuttiness."
Walter Cronkite (CBS) used to say "and that's the
way it is" at the end of his news broadcast. In early TV, breaking news was announced at
5pm and then later at 11pm a video report was presented. Hence the phrase "film at 11."
