Giants
Propaganda giants like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, FOX, Wikipedia and GOOGLE love to promote mediocrity and compliance with the agendas of their sponsor. Fear sells water and peanut butter when a hurricane may pass through. Fear keeps people listening for advice and more warnings of danger. Fear has torment and punishment as its point (1 John 4:18).
Faith giants like Paul, Luke, James and John loved to empower the faint hearted with hope and courage and wisdom and love. If you are not listening to any prophets of Jesus with any regularity, I recommend that you find some and start listening. The likelihood of error still exists while listening to prophets, but the likelihood of truth coming through the toilet of the American news industry is about the same percentage as the likelihood of error coming through the spiritual gift of prophet.
