The mainstream media's war on Christian conservatives reached a new low this week as leftist outlets including The Blaze attempted to manufacture controversy by amplifying fringe voices within the faith community to smear the broader movement.

The latest attack centers around comments from pastor Joel Webbon, who posted controversial remarks about interracial marriage on social media. Rather than treating this as the opinion of one individual, liberal media outlets are using it as ammunition to paint all Christian nationalists and conservatives as extremists.

This is the same playbook we've seen for years, folks. The left finds the most controversial statement they can from anyone remotely associated with conservative Christianity, then uses it to smear millions of faithful Americans who simply want to preserve traditional values and constitutional principles in our nation.

"This is exactly what the radical left does - they take fringe comments and use them to attack the entire Christian conservative movement," said one religious liberty advocate who requested anonymity due to media targeting.

What's particularly telling is how quickly these stories spread through the liberal media ecosystem. The same outlets that ignore real stories about persecution of Christians worldwide suddenly become very interested in theology when they think it can damage conservatives politically.

Meanwhile, President Trump's administration continues advancing policies that actually protect religious liberty for all Americans - something the mainstream media conveniently ignores while manufacturing outrage over social media posts.

The Real Agenda

Make no mistake - this isn't about protecting anyone from harmful rhetoric. This is about weaponizing selective outrage to silence Christian voices in the public square. The same media that spent four years calling Trump supporters every name in the book suddenly cares deeply about "divisive language."

Patriots need to recognize these coordinated attacks for what they are: desperate attempts to fracture the conservative coalition that delivered decisive victory in 2024. They want to divide us by amplifying the most extreme voices while ignoring the millions of Americans who simply want faith, family, and freedom protected in our constitutional republic.

Don't let them succeed. The vast majority of Christian conservatives believe in the dignity of all people while also believing America should return to its founding principles. That's not extremism - that's common sense.

Finally someone is calling out this media bias! They attack anyone who dares to defend traditional Christian values and slap the 'nationalist' label on us like it's something shameful.

Exactly! Since when is loving your country and faith a bad thing?

I've been watching this trend for years in our denomination. The media constantly misrepresents what we believe about marriage and family. We're not hateful - we're just standing on biblical principles that have worked for thousands of years.

This is exactly why we can't trust mainstream media anymore. They've completely abandoned any pretense of fair reporting when it comes to people of faith.

100% agree. It's all narrative-driven now, not actual journalism.

What specific outlets were doing this smearing? I want to make sure I'm not accidentally supporting them with my clicks or subscription dollars.

The hostility toward Christian values in this country has gotten completely out of hand. My grandfather would be shocked at how far we've fallen.
