      People of Faith Deserve Better from the New York Times

      An op-ed piece in the New York Times recently did not blame the Chinese government for the COVID-19 pandemic that has brought the world to a standstill.

      The post did not blame Republicans, Democrats or Independents. Of course not.

      Katherine Stewart instead tossed the responsibility and blame on people of faith.

      After all, the religious right is anti-science, as she claimed, and they support President Donald Trump, who the “newspaper of record” clashes with at press conferences on a regular basis.

      Stewart’s opinion article was published on March 27, 2020. It is titled “The Religious Right’s Hostility to Science is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response,” and Stewart makes her opinion clear that people of faith are the reason we are all might die.

      She blathers that Trump came into power with the determined assistance that denies science and bashes government. She opines that loyalty is stronger than expertise.

      This is a prime example why many Americans do not trust the mainstream media. Journalism used to be a proud profession–one that held esteem and honor.

      If Trump had not chosen to align himself with anti-science Bible-thumpers, then we would not be in this mess, she suggests.

      This is straight out of the leftist playbook. Blame the deplorables and the gun-toting Bible thumpers.

      When all else fails and you are void of an intelligent argument, toss the blame and call names.

      The editorial writer then made an appearance on MSNBC to further point the finger at Christians.

      This is a prime example why many Americans do not trust the mainstream media. Journalism used to be a proud profession–one that held esteem and honor.

      A Gallup poll recently released a piece, and the title said it all: “Most Americans say they have lost trust in the media.” A CBS poll in March said that President Trump is trusted more than the media.

      Stewart’s unwarranted attack on people of faith is just another reason why Americans do not trust the outlets and the people who are supposed to be fair and neutral.

      I would have expected the blame to be directed at Communist China for the release of the virus. After all, that is where it came from.

      Instead, journalists and left-leaning members of Congress chastise the President as being a racist for calling the disease the “Chinese Coronavirus.”

      I see nothing wrong with that characterization. I go to “Chinese” restaurants and “Italian” restaurants to dine. I speak the “English” language, and one of my pets was a “German” Shepherd. These assumptions of racism are ridiculous.

      Stewart is fine with offending American people who are Christians but will not dare put the responsibility of this pandemic where it belongs out of fear of being labeled a racist or frustrating a country that has a documented history of population control – China.

      Instead, she attacks Christians.

      The fact that I rely on the “ultimate healer” is not a slap in their face. If an atheist is put in the position to save my loved one and has the skills needed to save lives, then I am ready to receive his help.

      I remember when journalists were brave and sought to tell the truth no matter the consequence.

      Stewart is neither. She puts a target on those she assumes have been taught to “turn the other cheek.”

      Christians are not anti-science. I have many friends who are doctors, and I have put my trust in them. Just because I am a person of faith does not mean I don’t appreciate doctors and hospitals.

      If I am sick or need attention from a healthcare provider, I go. I never ask about their religious background because that’s not really important to me when I am in an emergency room.

      The fact that I rely on the “ultimate healer” is not a slap in their face. If an atheist is put in the position to save my loved one and has the skills needed to save lives, then I am ready to receive his help.

      But Stewart’s attack on people of faith is deeper than what she claims. She must possess a deep hatred for Christians in order to blame them for this pandemic. Many in the media mock Vice President Pence for his Christian beliefs. But he handles it with class.

      I believe there is more to this pandemic. Many high-profile people warned two years that this could happen.

      Tragic events usually bring the country together, and citizens are more lenient and loving toward each other.

      But in this case, this writer expressed disdain and blame for a certain population which only works to divide the country even more.

      President Trump has been working hard to fight this pandemic and to encourage private and public entities to partner together to fight this enemy. Inconvenience is a way of life for now. He is criticized by the media for holding too many press briefings. If he didn’t make daily appearances, they would bang on him for that. The mainstream media cannot be satisfied or trusted.

      But to scapegoat Christians because of this pandemic is a low blow, even for the New York Times.
