A little perspective

Here's something to think about if you're an information junkie. In a First Things article, "American the Comfortable," David A. Westbrook makes this observation about journalism:

Journalism reports, but to what end? Like its signature medium, photography, journalism is rarely completely untrue. The photographed event occurred and was mechanically documented. Even advertisements are true in this sense: A beautiful woman got into a car—that really happened. The implication that one should buy the car is a much more dubious proposition.

Right. As a student of the Scriptures I find myself asking, how do we shape our worldview: through the world or through the Word?
