Pope Francis Vs Donald Trump- A Set Up !! by Chelseafan99: 10:26pm On Feb 18, 2016
I have written several articles about the media. The media's hitherto objective and unbiased ethos have been corrupted, and with hundreds of millions, even billions in potential revenue the media will go to any length to squeeze out controversial stories often times in complete disregard for the privacy of its victims (The Sun wire tap scandal comes to mind) even if it means sleeping with terrorists all day long.

Without Al-Jazeera and CNN's inspired conflict in the so called ''Arab Spring'', or what ever misnomer they choose to call it, 250,000 Syrians will be alive. North Africa will not be in such a chaotic state, terrorists will not have access to heavy weaponry to sell to Boko haram.

The same media shamelessly fed off the unprecedented attention the #BringBackOurGirls campaign received but did absolutely nothing to use the power of the media to bring about change, instead CNN and BBC made Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau an instant celebrity over night-the new kid on the block. Perhaps not surprisingly Boko Haram was stunned by the unexpected media attention and decided took full advantage by staging mutiple attacks in Abuja. Why should we blame them? A typical 30 seconds advert on CNN costs $150,000, Boko Haram is getting much more for free. Attacking soft targets with little strategic significance - the Nyaya bus terminal, not once but the same target twice highlights the fact that these terrorist groups will do what ever it takes, even if it means killing 12 year old kids in a publicity stunt to be in the news spotlight,In a shameless secrete affair , a marriage of convenience the terrorists creates the buzz, while the media without shame broadcasts terrorist propaganda videos and messages. The love of money truly makes for strange bed fellows.

Today the media is at it again, this time upping the anti . In their clever bit of subterfuge to spark controversy they have dragged the Pope and Donald Trump into a fight-the objective-provoke a potential war of words between GOP Republican front-runner Donald Trump and the Pope -Goldmine.

The last time i checked, the Pope is not the President of the United States. The Pope is not an American citizen. The Pope is not a diplomat or politician but a religious leader, the Pope should not have a say in American politics, the Pope should not be encouraged to endorse or condemn any candidate, this goes beyond the stupid, it borders on criminal. The journalist who dragged the pope into this by asking what he thought about Donald Trump should be ashamed of himself and resign.

On the flip side, last i checked the pope is not GOD. If only people can accord to God the loyalty and love and respect they have for the Pontiff our world will be a better place. It is increasingly becoming evident that the Pope is gradually going astray. He enjoys the unprecedented celebrity attention showered on him. It is the job of the American people to decide who is fit to be President or not. Donald Trump is not Catholic, many American citizens who will vote for Trump are not even Christians, why is the media, led by CNN pitting Trump and the Pope in a match up? How low is the media willing to stoop and in many cases bend down and hold the table for terrorists in their obscene quest for ratings with complete disregard for those that will be affected by their actions. It is no record science that Donald Trump will respond, which he did, he has the right to.

Christian Amanpours condemnation of Donald Trump for standing up to defend himself against -in her words '' The leader of one billion Catholics'' is beyond stupid, it is borderline insane. Being leader of one billion Catholics does not make one a god.

It is hard to believe that the media has no regulatory oversight in existence, never have hence the media can get away with lies and stiring up descent. It is time for a a regulatory oversight on the media, especially in America. The world is mired in conflict on a scale not seen since the second world war mainly because of the media.Sometimes the American President gets his news and Intel from CNN before CIA briefings.

It was amusing watching CNN's Hala Gorani (as i type these words) throw a question to a Turkish official Boutaina Shaaben, trying to prey on the Turkey-Russia tension, asking what she thought about Trumps ''insane'' claim that Russia is bombing the terrorists and not Turkish supported groups on the ground. The devil you know is better than the Angel you dont know. '' We have no idea who the people we are supporting are''

Expecting an outright ''this is nonsense'' or condemnation the Turkish officials remark was unexpected.. ''It is a good thing someone is asking the right question'', she quiped. Who are these people? we do not know them.''

The change in Hala Gorani's countenance gave her away. From a smiling face she was obviously stunned, stumbling in her response she quickly changed the subject. The dishonesty of the media is disgusting but relatively not life threatening. Pitting up people against each other, countries against each other is the real danger here, it can lead to unintended consequences.

The threat to global peace today is not ISIS, neither is it global warming, the threat to our world today is the Media. The excesses of the media has to be checked before they plunge the world into a thermonuclear conflict of apocalyptic proportions, a war that will leave the planet devastated and uninhabitable for thousands of years. The time to act is now.

That explains Kim nwa North Korea but allowing western media broadcast in his country.

The counterparts in Nigeria publish fake news, why they over bloat issues and create unnecessary tension world over.

I am not a Christian, but I have noticed that the West (America) has been demonizing the Pope since 2013. He had a meeting with a Patriarch of the Orthodox Church (a Russian), and the meeting was held in Cuba! The West is mad about it and they are doing all they can to ruin the Pope's life. They paid someone to push the Pope, now it is a journalist that ask the Pope what his opinion is on Donald Trump. I expect the Pope and the Catholic church to get more negative space in the news in the coming weeks.
