So Many On The AP, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, Fox, Breitbart, Reddit And Legacy News Media Are Way Off. Need Ten Practical Steps In Diggin' For Solid Truth? Sometimes, It Would Seem: "Falsehood Flies, And The Truth Comes Limping After It." ~ Jonathan Swift, 1710

Life decisions are being made daily. They are made according to what one really believes inside. Please believe what really so. Don't be suckin' down any of that fake news jive. 

Q: When did the first Fake news arrive here? You remember the serpent in Genesis 3 delivered history’s first spiritual disinformation campaign: “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4–5). It seemed polished in the mind, it seemed so plausible, emotionally appealing—and yet it wsa utterly false. Adam and Eve died spiritually when they ate the fruit. The promise of empowerment kinda masked their rebellion. The result was death inside. 

You have a valueable human spirit inside, that needs to live! Are you stone-cold-dead, lukewarm spiritually, or on fire for Jesus Christ? Be the latter and follow Him! 

The fake news peddlers of today need to be absolutely eviscerated, refuted, and exposed for who they are..for what they are doing. Too many young people in the USA keep swallowing their Fake News lies (much of which is cooked up by Lib late-night comedians) hook, line, and sinker. 

The young people are not running to lame Reddit or TikTok because they’re mentally challenged. They’re running there because they distrust other institutions (and many of them have let everyone down).

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes". 

"A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on".

Need Ten Practical Steps for Diggin' for Truth 

1. Start with prayer, not social media scrolling. Inquire honestly of the Lord

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God…” — James 1:5
Ask for discernment before you consume information.


2. Slow down emotional reactions.
If it instantly makes you furious or smug, pause.

“The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” — James 1:20

Outrage clouds judgment.


3. Check primary sources whenever possible.
Read the actual speech, court filing, bill, transcript — not just commentary.

“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.” — Proverbs 18:17

Headlines are not evidence.


4. Compare across perspectives.
Read left, right, and center reporting on the same event.
Truth survives comparison. Lies collapse under it.


5. Separate reporting from opinion.
News describes events.
Commentary tells you what to feel about them. Pray, read, and lean on the God of the Bible more. 

Many outlets blur the lines. There is a right and a wrong. There is absolute truth. People tell me there are no absolutes.. but that's an absolute statement. 


6. Follow facts, not personalities.
Don’t anchor your worldview to influencers — even ones you like.

“Do not put your trust in princes…” — Psalm 146:3

Charisma is not credibility.


7. Watch who benefits.
Ask:
Who gains power, money, or control if I believe this?

Incentives reveal bias.


8. Reject tribal loyalty.
If you feel defensive when your “side” is criticized, that’s a warning light.

Christians follow Christ — not camps.


9. Value long-term credibility over viral moments.
Truth is often boring, qualified, and patient.

Lies spread fast.
Truth endures.


10. Anchor your mind in the Bible Good News daily.

“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” — John 17:17

When Scripture shapes your thinking, you become harder to manipulate.


What do I slow down and do with intentionality? 

  • Pray, wait, really come to know the Lord as He is. Study truth with a heart to obey the Lord. Then put feed to your faith
  • Slow down.
  • Check the whole Bible context. Verify.
  • Compare what the whole Bible says about that.
  • Detach from tribes, but not from Christ or his Body (a healthy local church). Abide in.
  • Follow real evidence.
  • Stay humble, be a learner rather than a know-it-all. Forgive those types of jerks. (a part of being a good witness in Christ is: Don't act or talk like a puffed up jerk.. ever.)
  • Stay anchored in (daily intimate 24/7/365 honest relationship) Christ.

Man, with Jesus inside leading as Lord, that’s how you dig for truth in 2026 — yep, with godly wisdom instead of worldly wisdom.
