Now THAT title ought to get me some Google hits. 🙂
Actually, at first glance, that title might seem to some like a contradiction. It sounds almost like “the media” (meaning the news media) are the victims, rather than the perpetrators as many of us often think of them.
However…that’s not what I mean by “media” here. 🙂 I am referring to the broader definition; any form of communication, particularly public communication, is a medium, not just journalism. Art, music, dance, literature, television, movies…all of them (and others) are the media I’m talking about.
So…who has been raping the media?

I hate when I do this…something someone said on one of the blogs I read that helped to spark this post, but I let it sit too long while writing another series, and now I can’t remember who to link to. 🙂 So if you see something of your own content here, let me know.
For several years I’ve been pondering the dialogue Jesus had with Peter when they had breakfast together after the resurrection (John 21). Three times Jesus asked him, “Do you love Me?” And three times Peter answered, “You know that I love you.” There’s a lot of powerful meaning in the Greek words that are used, and many of you have probably heard teaching about it.

(If you can’t tell where I stopped using actual words and started poking fun—I just proved my point.)

Where can I go from Your spirit? And where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. –Psalm 139:7-8, NASB
A lot of my ponderings about God in the darkness have come from this verse. And as I finish up my ramblings about this before moving on to something else…it might be wise of me to remind you of the disclaimer I made in Part 1, i.e., that these are reflections, questions and ponderings, not a statement of doctrine or belief. Take it for what it is… 🙂
