Why The Legacy Media Slams People of Faith

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

The legacy media would have you believe America has moved past God, that people of faith are fringe, backward, or even dangerous. That’s not reality. It’s narrative. Pew Research says about 83% of Americans believe in God or a higher power, roughly two-thirds pray regularly, and around 70% identify with a religion. That’s not “extremism.” That’s mainstream America. So why the constant drumbeat, documentaries warning of “Christian uprisings,” segments implying faith must be abandoned to live authentically, and headlines that selectively frame a nation of believers as a country in spiritual freefall?Dr. Phil breaks down the pattern, the framing tactics, and the real-world data the press tends to minimize, including the measurable ways faith communities strengthen mental health, reduce crime, build civic trust, stabilize families, and fuel charitable giving. You can disagree with theology. You can’t argue with the outcomes. Because when belief in God is treated like a threat, the media isn’t describing America, it’s arguing with the facts. That’s The REAL Story.Thank you to our sponsor: Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to https://DrPhilGold.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
