I noticed the story last night about how
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad killed William Long and wounded another soldier at a military recruiting center in Little Rock. Of the 6 web pages I normally use for news, only one ran the story. ONE.


I then began to compare the news coverage of Muhammad with that of Scott Roeder, the murderer of George Tiller, the Wichita abortionist. EVERY one of my normal news sites had MULTIPLE articles on Tiller and Roeder. 6 sites with two or more articles each.

Is it just me? Do we live in the Museum of the Hard to Believe?

A Muslim man randomly attacks a military recruiting site and murders an American soldier and the story gets negligible coverage.

A schizophrenic man associated with an "Old Testament Church" (which means it is not a church, thank you very much) murders an abortion doctor, and both Obama and the press feel compelled to immediately unleash a flurry of commentary.

Bizarre. Enough to make one paranoid - although I may already be there anyway!

By the way, China has now banned Twitter and other networking sites in anticipation of the anniversary of Tiannamen Square. Hard to pick - a free press that intentionally chooses to ignore stories which do not suit its purposes or a nation with no free press at all.

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
