Can Satan bind Satan?

While one agency of the propaganda arm of Communist Party of the Soviet Union has carried on an “internal investigation” into how it engaged in Communist lies, other agencies of the propaganda arm of the Communist Party are running around like chickens with their heads cut off wondering how to tell about the story.

Translation: Reuters reports on NBC’s “internal investigation” of its splicing of George Zimmerman’s 911 call to make Zimmerman appear like a racist.

The entry’s title is a gloss on the Gospel of Mark, chapter 3, where the scribes are saying that Jesus’ ability to exorcise devils proves that Jesus himself is of the devil:

And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

What Jesus is saying is that Satan cannot cast out Satan; only that which is not of Satan can cast out Satan. Which, applied to our situation, means that the evil lying leftist media cannot police or speak the truth about itself.
