For years, conservative media has been silenced. Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro shared how this happened before Congress.

From The Daily Wire. Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro told Congress on Wednesday that there is “an informal pressure system” created by Democratic lawmakers, the White House, and brand safety organizations that boosts Left-wing media and silences conservative news outlets.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

Shapiro made his remarks on the alleged conspiracy against conservative media during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. The Republican-led committee invited Shapiro to testify during its hearing on the Collusion in the Global Alliance for Responsible Media after releasing its report accusing the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) of strategizing to censor conservative content, including from The Daily Wire.

“We are in the midst of a trust crisis in the world of media, which is because so many in the legacy media have lied in order to preserve Left-leaning narratives,” Shapiro said in his opening statement. …

The Daily Wire host then told lawmakers how social media companies have been pressured by Democrats, the media, and the White House to censor his and others’ content. Social media companies “have responded by adopting the standards of third-party Left-wing ‘informational safety’ groups like the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM,” Shapiro said.

“GARM purportedly sets ‘brand safety’ standards – objective standards by which advertisers and platforms can supposedly determine just what sort of content ought to be deemed ‘safe’ for advertising,” he added. “In reality, GARM acts as a cartel. Its members account for 90 percent of ad spending in the United States — almost $1 trillion. In other words, if you’re not getting ad dollars from GARM members, it’s nearly impossible to run an ad-based business.” …

Shapiro then urged Congress to “stand up for the First Amendment.” …

Freedom to express ones thoughts and beliefs is a God given blessing and should be respected, by all. can we be respectful even when one does not embrace our thoughts. Pray that people will show love and respect and maybe pray for change of hearts, bring us O Lord to a place of learning to act justly, to walk in mercy and humbly walk before our God.

“Conservative media is being silenced.”

…but God is not silent, we have His Word…

The law of the LORD is perfect…
The testimony of the LORD is sure…
The precepts of the LORD are right…
The commandment of the LORD is pure…
The fear of the LORD is clean…
The judgments of the LORD are true.
Psalm 19

“We are in the midst of a trust crisis in the world of media…”

..but God is 100% trustworthy all the time

…though Abel is long dead, we can still learn lessons from him about trusting God…. Enoch trusted God too….Noah was another who trusted God….Abraham trusted God…Sarah, Jacob, the people of Israel…It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of all the people who trusted God and as a result won battles, overthrew kingdoms, ruled their people well and received what God had promised them; and kept from harm….
Hebrews 11 The Living Bible

Dear Lord and Almighty God, Your Word says the unbeliever considers foolish the things that come from Your Spirit. But hey are unable to understand because the god of this age has blinded them. You made the Light of Christ shine in us, will You do this for “them?” Will You expose the lies of those who claim to report the news? You are perfect, sure, right, pure….altogether truthful. In Your truth, will You raise up and remove? Will You open and close and have Your way with those who continue to defy, corrupt and deceive? As for us who love You, will You increase our numbers, our faith and our trust in You alone? I ask this and so much more, in the Name of Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and in Him, there is no deceit. Amen
1 Corinthians 1; 2 Corinthians 4

Groups like GARN were formed to justify the actions of any narrative that would help justify the silencing of Conservative ideals. They influenced and pressured Democrats, the Media, and the White House. The First Amendment be damned. Congress should stand up for the First Amendment. Decades later is better now than never. Save the First Amendment, Congress!

Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers for our country. Thank you for the privileged of being an American. We are grateful for our country and those whom you guided to create our freedoms. I ask you in the precious name of Jesus to guard our freedoms. To cast down the evil that wants to destroy our freedoms and cause chaos in the groups of evil demonic forces, that come to kill, steal and destroy our country. We trust You Alone Lord our Creator Heavenly Father. And give You all Praise, Glory and Honor 🙌🙌🙌

For many years I have realized that news media sources that we have watched on our major news networks have been very bias in their reporting of the news, especially when it is a source they don’t agree with. They are no longer interested in just reporting the news but rather they editorialize it to fit their prejudices and do their best to make it sound like they are just reporting the news. However, there are other news sources that report only the truth and nothing but the truth. One of them is Flash Point on the Go Victory Network. We need to pray for these sources that they will always have a way to make the truth known to those who are really interested in the truth. Prayer works and if enough Christian people will really pray for these type of news medias they will not be silenced.
