Summary
This morning, we witnessed the longest partial lunar eclipse in over 500 years. Andrew Sullivan recently wrote an impactful article condemning the collapse of mainstream media. In The Daily Article for November 19, 2021, Dr. Jim Denison encourage us to focus not on condeming the things we can’t control, but to control the degree to which we submit our biases to our Lord.

| 0:19.6 | The Beaver Moon Lunary Eclipse that occurred early this morning lasted around 21,693 |
| 0:27.1 | seconds, six hours and two minutes. |
| 0:30.1 | I know this because I read it on the time and date website, which seems authoritative. |
| 0:35.6 | However, I did not stay up to time the event and can offer no independent |
| 0:39.9 | confirmation of this claim. The same article states that the last time a partial lunar eclipse |
| 0:45.9 | lasted that long was on February 18, 1440. The next time a partial lunar eclipse will reach the same |
| 0:54.0 | overall length will be on February 8, 2669. |

| 1:08.0 | Upon reflection, it seems to me that nearly everything we read in the news |
| 1:13.2 | must be approached in the same way. We can only be in one place at a time, and thus we can |

| 1:26.6 | Even when televised news covers a distant event, |
| 1:29.9 | the fact that we are watching that particular televised event means we are not watching others |
| 1:35.5 | at the same time. And even when we witness an occurrence firsthand, we often require the help of |
| 1:41.9 | those who are more expert on the subject to understand it more fully. |
| 1:46.8 | I can know that I'm running a fever, but I need a doctor to tell me why. |
| 1:54.0 | I say all of that to make this point. |
| 1:56.8 | If we cannot depend on the objectivity of those whose reporting and opinions we require, |
| 2:02.6 | our ability to engage with the world is severely affected. |
