The pro-illegal
alien media: Tossed and turned by internal diversity police who demand a greater minority
presence and minority consciousness in the newsrooms, those who report the "news" are doing their level
best to ensure that the protesters for "immigrant rights" get the best possible publicity boost.
Why the "Racist" Card Has Lost Its
Sting. Ordinary people are getting smarter as the mainstream media loses its power, which is
probably why the "amnesty" bill recently went down in flames.
The answer to AIDS is
values. [It is] clear that in a world of abstinence, monogamy and sex exclusively within the
framework of marriage, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases in general would be rare. Yet, such a world
is such a remote possibility and so irrelevant to the Newsweek reporters that it does not receive a word
of mention in the article.
Media recruiting less
credibility. Following the Pew Research Center's latest survey, which shows the public's
continued distrust of the American media, one might think the press giants would be more careful about their
public associations and agendas. One would be wrong.
HBO'S Anti-Whitewashed Fairy Tales: In Jack and the
Beanstalk, not only are all the players black but so even is a rabbit that jumps out of a magician's hat.
In Little Red Riding Hood (or "Happy Coat" in this China-based tale) even the squirrels have almond-shaped
eyes. That squirrels do not have the extra fold that characterizes Asian eyelids is irrelevant.
Even nature bows to the PC gods at HBO. It seems only one major ethnic group has been left out. Of
over 90 voices used in this series, just one appears to belong to a token white of non-Hispanic descent.
No Respect for Diversity in News Coverage of Rice
9/11 Testimony. It's not unusual for folks to wonder if there is a double standard in the news
media. Usually, that question has to do with ideology, a liberal or conservative bias perhaps. But
the headlines about Dr. Rice's testimony are not about ideology, but about diversity in views. The
press just can't seem to understand that a well-educated black woman could hold the views Dr. Rice holds.
"Never gayer" Tony
Awards: For all its fizzling ratings, it's amazing that the Tony show hasn't been moved kit and
caboodle from a major network to PBS or Bravo. Why the collapse in public support? Perhaps it's
because the public has become disgusted by the Tonys' sexual agenda.
Learning through
images: Television images have become remarkably successful at distilling complex issues into the
broadest and most knee-jerk dimensions. This is particularly true of political programming, which has
perfected the rapid fire style of discourse that leaves little time for thoughtful analysis.
Journalism 101: The
surest way to predict the top stories on any evening network newscast is to read the front page of The New York
Times. Most journalists consider the paper fair and balanced, and they follow it almost
religiously. A story just isn't a story until it's in the Times.
Rush and race: The
left obsessively racializes nearly everything, but if a conservative dares mention anything related to race,
he is dubbed a "racist" and considered unfit for polite company.
Racial censorship:
If this was a criticism of anybody, it was a criticism of the powers that be in the NFL. Nevertheless,
people have gone ballistic, just as if he [Rush Limbaugh] had criticized blacks as a race. But you have
to twist the truth like a pretzel to reach that conclusion.
Media, darlings, your abortion
bias is showing again: What if the women who helped make abortion-on-demand the law of the land
changed their minds? They did. And what if no one cared? Apparently, no one does.
Maureen Dowd's Tambourine:
Pulitzer Prize winning "journalist" Maureen Dowd in her April 20th article entitled "A Tale of Two Fridays," in
the New York Times thought it was "pandering" and culturally "insensitive" to have Franklyn Graham and
presumably other Christians espousing Christianity at a Good Friday service.
Racism in the newsroom:
The diversity craze in the newsroom has not only hurt good, qualified white male reporters and editors in
tangible ways, it has hurt the very people it was intended to help and it has hurt the credibility and
viability of the news organizations infected with this disease.
Left and Right Agree: Journalists
Are out of Touch: Both sides in the diversity debate agree that establishment journalists do not
connect with average Americans.
Black journalists jeer peer:
A conservative activist says that he was booed, jeered and called "the white man's boy" by a crowd of nearly
300 black reporters and media figures for speaking against reparations at last week's annual convention of the
National Association of Black Journalists.
Study Reveals Abortion Harms Women's
Mental Health... Media Yawn. Unless you subscribe to the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry,
which published the report last month, or are a fervent researcher of the Internet, you probably haven't heard
of this important study. That's because our mainstream news media recurrently decline to broadcast
studies that cast a skeptical shadow on abortion.
"Partial
truth" abortion: Many in the media resent any suggestion that they are
either politically biased or that journalists' personal views stop them from doing a
good professional job of accurately reporting the news. The way the issue of
partial birth abortion has been reported — or not reported — gives the lie
to such protests.
The Ugly
Truth: Exsanguination or draining of blood? A federal judge
is demanding that abortion-industry witnesses speak in plain English as he considers
one of three challenges to a federal law banning partial-birth abortions. But
despite all the sensational testimony and courtroom drama, the major news media
are paying no attention.
Media Promotes
Illegal Abortion Death Myths, Though Legal Abortions Kill Too. Some
major newspapers in the U.S. are using foreign horror stories to try to
promote the idea that the federal government should get involved in the overseas
abortion business. But the editorials and columns are filled with myths circulated
by the abortion lobby, according to pro-life advocates in the U.S.
Silence on Welfare Reform: What
may be most striking about the current welfare debate may be the remarkable absence of journalistic interest in
the topic. In fact, the news media's silence speaks volumes, testifying to the emergence of a broad new
consensus surrounding a law that was vilified by opponents when it was originally passed.
Glossary for the Liberal
Media: Death tax vs. estate tax; Preferences vs. affirmative action; Strategic Defense
Initiative (SDI) vs. Star Wars; Fetus vs. unborn. Words matter.
Nickelodeon Ignores Quarter Million Parents
Protesting Pro-Homosexual Show!: "In fact, Nickelodeon is blocking many of its email addresses to
prevent parents from expressing their outrage over this show," said Traditional Values Coalition Executive
Director Andrea Lafferty.
Nickelodeon is
afraid of Losing Advertisers! Traditional Values Coalition has learned that in an attempt to stop
the hemorrhage of negative press and to preempt losing sponsors, Nickelodeon will be airing its controversial
Nick News program on homosexual parenting/families commercial-free.
Is Nickelodeon Promoting
Diversity or Perversity with its Homosexual Agenda? Nickelodeon, one of the Viacom Corporation's
divisions, has decided your children need to accept the notion that homosexuality is merely a form of
"diversity" like religion, or race. Linda Ellerbee produced the show "My Family Is Different" which was
aired Tuesday night [6/18/2002 (?)]. She said she was "puzzled" by the backlash against the
production from pro-family groups such as The Traditional Values Coalition.
Charlton Heston Takes Aim at
Hollywood.
Heston Blasts P.C. Media as a Threat to Freedom.
Shibboleths: A Great Labor-Saving Device for
Rational Thinking. Shibboleths are the life blood of the media. Stories which seem to
support the side of the angels are trumpeted from coast to coast, while stories which support the other side
are either downplayed or ignored altogether. For example, vicious crimes committed by white people
against black people are big news because these stories fit the shibboleths which establish the moral identity
of the journalists who tell these stories. Vicious crimes committed by blacks against whites are not big
news because these stories undermine the shibboleths -- or, as it is phrased, "feed stereotypes."
Politically Correct Murder and Media Bias:
Some Murder Victims Are "More Equal" Than Others. Never mind that where violent crime takes place between
blacks and whites, the cases overwhelmingly involve a black perpetrator and a white victim.
Media Push Homosexuality as Part of
P.C. Agenda: In this second of our three-part series we show how, and why, a political agenda has
damaged honest coverage of homosexual issues.
Hollywood Leftists: You Pay, We
Insult: How long will consumers put up with celebrities who assault political views and who
falsely accuse them of racism? Celebrities who insult audiences with their political views may indeed
face a reckoning at the box office.
Coloring
the News: How Crusading for Diversity Has Corrupted American Journalism. William McGowan
presents case after case in which, he contends, reporters and editors got stories wrong or ignored topics
worthy of coverage because of their liberal ideologies and their fear of offending African-Americans, gays
or feminists.
Coloring the News: Feminism
and Diversity: "Journalists are more disproportionately liberal on [the abortion] issue," wrote
Jonathan Alter, Newsweek's poster boy for liberal bias in the media. "So they are more likely to rely on
whether consciously or unconsciously, the information they get from the pro-abortion side." What he
neglected to add was that in almost every case, liberal reporters don't even bother to seek comments from the
pro-life forces, relying most often on what the spokeswomen for the abortion industry tell them.
How Homosexuals Skew the News
NAACP vs. Racist Hollywood: According to
the Screen Actors Guild, blacks, who comprise 12 percent of the population, are cast in 14.8 percent
of all roles on television and in movies. Besides, don't the "good guys" -- mostly Leftist
Democrats -- run Hollywood?
Editor's Note:
(In this article, Larry Elder makes another interesting point: black households watch more TV than do
white households. Compared to some other groups, black children under-perform on standardized tests.
Studies also show black children do less homework than their white counterparts. Meanwhile, the president
of the NAACP seeks ways to make television more appealing to blacks.)
Under-the-Radar Trash
TV: So many [kids] don't tune in for specific shows; they turn the set on because they're not
comfortable without it on. At times they pay full attention to it; sometimes partial attention.
But oftentimes they're paying virtually no attention to what's on the screen. It's impossible for them
to stay with one channel; they must, by necessity, mindlessly, endlessly flip around.
