I don't think today's newspapers make for a good hermeneutic. Next thing someone will tell me is that the locusts in Revelation are actually black apache helicopters. All that said, 2 Timothy 3 sounds like it's describing today without missing a beat.
2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, without gentleness, without love for good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Keep away from such men as these. 6For among them are those who enter into households and take captive weak women weighed down with sins, being led on by various desires, 7always learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, disqualified in regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress, for their folly will be obvious to all, just as theirs was also.
