The MSM is not doing their jobs. I don't trust they ever will because the bottom lines is that the Corporatists are using our issues for sensationalism, not news. They are only interested in the conflict, not truth. Truth doesn't pay as we have seen through all of the anti-gay paychecks being cut all over America.Mykelbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-15538593316561329912010-12-11T20:47:24.957-08:002010-12-11T20:47:24.957-08:00I would argue there's a difference between cen...I would argue there's a difference between censorship and not allowing a particular individual to speak on a television show and outright censorship.<br /><br />Your implications that news organizations are obligated to give a voice to groups that are known for spreading lies about the LGBTQA community on the grounds that it would look like "we believed them to be telling the truth", is interesting.<br /><br />There are plenty of conservative groups that don't spread lies about LGBTQA people, yet still take a stand (for various reasons, including religion) against our community. Shouldn't the news media turn to them instead, when they need to present both sides of an issue?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470325503788056122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-83532715344350810172010-12-11T17:13:21.886-08:002010-12-11T17:13:21.886-08:00And that's where the community has to make a l...And that's where the community has to make a lot of noise. If we can raise hell and get noticed about other things, we can with this.<br /><br />Also, we have an entire network - LOGO - as well as several lgbt publications. I refuse to believe that pressure cannot be applied on these outlets to make them focus on these issues.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-66662499058218726302010-12-11T17:09:28.839-08:002010-12-11T17:09:28.839-08:00The problem is that the main stream media never as...The problem is that the main stream media never asks those kind of questions. It's a great idea in theory, but the reality is, people like Tom Brokaw give them a pass time and time again while giving them a public forum to spew their hatred. Besides, Tom Brokaw is not very sympathetic himself to LGBT issues.Bradnoreply@blogger.com
