The Christian Science Monitor was started in the early 1900s, purposefully to counteract the yellow journalism which was running rampant inthose times. Believe it or not, the lies and confusion in the news was as bad then as it is now — we just hear more of it now! In these tumultuous days, we need news we can trust. When a sitting president of this country tells untruths, is called out about it, and then takes governmental action to quash truth, this is blatant fascism. To say social media is disallowing free speech because Twitter is putting a rejoinder on his comments with a link to the truth, is to sorely misinterpret the meaning of freedom. For this same man to “retweet” a post from another politician saying that the only good democrat is a dead one — well, this is not acceptable behavior for anyone, much less our so-called leader. Anyone who is confused by televised news, printed news, internet news, I beg of you, please subscribe to the Christian Science Monitor. They have daily updates which come to your email, and a weekly physical magazine which will leave you feeling good after you find out what’s happening in the world. Don’t get me wrong: they tackle tough subjects, but in an honest manner which gives hope for us all. I don’t know about you, but I need every bit of hope I can find!
"His home relations unfolded a wealth of affection -- a tenderness not talked but felt and lived. His humanity, weighed in the scales of divinity, was not found wanting. His public intent was uniform, consistent, sympathetic, and so far as it fathomed the abyss of difficulties was wise, brave, unselfed. May his history waken a tone of truth that shall reverberate, renew euphony, emphasize humane power, and bear its banner into the vast forever." Mary Baker Eddy writing about President McKinley - Miscellany Page 291
