I'd Like To Take This Opportunity To Send Paula Zahn The Big "Fuck You" -- CNN's Biased Coverage of Love In Action

If it wasn't obvious from the wash job performed by Paula Zahn and the crew over at CNN already, it should be clear to everyone now. The new conservative media has found its way into the Love In Action issue by providing unabashedly biased coverage of the debate on ex-gay reparative therapies.

Last night's episode of Paula Zahn Now would have been enough, but Paula Zahn Now has decided to go that extra step -- tonight's show is described as "Gay to straight. One man says he has changed his ways. We’ll tell you how he says he did it." It just demonstrates that news organizations like CNN are willing to trade their track record for fair reporting for dimbulb reporting and a vain attempt at obtaining ratings they will never have again. CNN's abusive misrepresentation of the dangers of reparative therapy marks another chapter in the long spiral downward of one of America's great news organizations. If CNN wants to be the new Fox News, they'll have to do a lot better than picking through the trash of the real issues for their soundbytes.

Paula Zahn and company, please allow me to initiate a very public and well-deserved FUCK YOU SWEETHEART because, after all, I have no mastery of the English language and I don't speak boob job and facelift nearly as well as you do. I guess all those things Radar Magazine had to say about you were true after all?

The real story of the day was Good Morning America's debate between Brandon Tidwell and Gerard Wellman in which equal time was provided for the discussion of the central issue here: the dangers of reparative therapy. Chalk one up to ABC News for looking at the issue instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
