Excerpt: 75% of Americans claim
to be Christians, yet less than half vote. If they voted using their Biblical
principles, there would not be any culture war in this country. But where can Americans
find Biblically honoring information
about the candidates, since over 75% of the media elites are against Christian principles. Perhaps
this will help. You can download this webpage as a PDF
version (SureBolt.com/2018N.pdf).
Who writes
the news? Who writes the history? The majority always controls the news and the
history books. Yet Jesus said the majority would wind up in hell (wide gate verses narrow gate, many verses
few, Matt 7:13-14). So why do we expect the majority
to tell us the truth? If you want to see quotes from the media admitting
their anti-Christian biases and also get
links to more reliable news sources on specific subjects, see this

… George Barna and
William Paul McKay published Vital Signs:
Emerging Social Trends and the Future of American Christianity in
1984. They report from a 1983 study, which showed that 75 percent of television executives claimed
to be politically “liberal.” Only 7 percent
attended church regularly and 44 percent stated that they had no religious affiliation. 80 percent stated that homosexuality
was not wrong. 51 percent did not think adultery
was wrong. A whopping 97
percent approved of abortion. One can only wonder if those statistics are
even worse 35 years later. … (this paragraph is just an excerpt from this link, SureBolt.com/News.pdf)
