The clickbait in the Daily Wire that caught my attention claimed that 100,000 Anti-Israel protestors were going to show up for the Democratic convention. The first couple of thoughts that crossed my mind were that it was going to cost someone a lot of money because I believe most of these people are being paid to show up and that this would help the unemployment figures for the Biden administration. They could claim 100,000 new jobs created using their own clickbait.
As I began to slide through the article the first thing I noticed was that the first sentence reduced 100,000 to “tens of thousands”. I passed my math class. I know that “tens of thousands” could become 100,000. I also know hype when I see it. Although it was from a conservative source this did not bode well for the rest of the post. As I read on I noticed that the Daily Wire reporting seemed to accept the numbers of the leftist spokeman.
Why can’t we get clear and direct reporting?

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
