Good on Bill Maher for bringing attention to this. He believes it doesn’t get any attention from the media or from college age protesters because there are no Jews to blame.

Hmmmm….I don’t think he’s nailed the landing here.

In the theater of the media, the script is written with a purpose. It’s a play where the villains are clear, and the heroes are cast in a certain light. And what’s the story they tell about Christians? Oppressors. Patriarchs. The bad guys. Anything that threatens that narrative is brushed aside, ignored, or outright condemned.

You see, the mainstream media operates on a simple principle: control the story, control the perception. Christians? They’re the oppressors. They stand in the way of progress, of equality, of the new order. So when persecution happens what do we get? Silence. Or spin. Or both. Because admitting that Christians are being persecuted would mean acknowledging a flaw in the story. It would threaten the narrative that they are the oppressors, the patriarchy’s enforcers. And that’s a problem. So instead, they dismiss it. They turn away. They focus on other issues, other villains, other scapegoats. It’s theater, really. A manufactured reality.

The media’s role isn’t to uncover truth but to maintain a certain order. And that order says: Christians are the villains. Oppressing whom? Not the oppressed. No, they’re the oppressors. And anyone who challenges that is silenced or ignored. The tragedy is that real people suffer. Real Christians face real persecution, real violence. But the story? The story is more important. It’s more comfortable to paint them as villains than to admit the truth: persecution is happening, and it’s often ignored because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Because in this play, the villains are clear. And the truth? The truth is inconvenient.
