I have to disagree here. If the clip had shown them kissing, that would have been on the front page and sold a TON of newspapers.

I can see the Brokeback High?

headline now. No, they may want to push the agenda slowly, but they want to sell papers more than anything. And a lead paragraph that leads something line this is guaranteed sales.

" Blahblah High School was put in hot water today when it was reported that Cinematography teacher John Doe showed explicit scenes from last years contreversial hit Brokeback Mountain in his class yesterday. Details on page 4."

Don't you think?

No, I still disagree. My evidence is the fact that all major newspaper subscriberships are way down. Why are people abandoning the newspapers? Because they're sick and tired of the liberal bias. Knowing this and wanting to sell lots of newspapers you would think that the newspapers would become more balanced. They haven't, they won't and they'll stick to the liberal script until they fold. They can't help themselves.

Cable news networks are another good example. CNN and MSNBC have audiences less than 1/3 of Fox News during prime time and are losing massive numbers of viewers each day. Why haven't they responded by becoming more balanced to increase audience share? Do you think they don't notice the difference in audience size? It's because they would rather go out of business than stray from the liberal cause. CNN replaces liberal Aaron Brown with liberal and alleged homosexual Anderson Cooper. The audience for Cooper has dropped to less than half of the abysmal audience for Brown when he was replaced. Why haven't they canned Cooper? Again, the liberals are more concerned with the cause than with the money.

My local newspaper covered a story about two local male high school coaches "hazing" a male athlete on a bus trip. They covered most of the important parts - the coaches' names, the fact that they were fired and so on. The important part of the story they left out was that the athlete was raped homosexually by the two coaches as he was held down against his will, screaming for them to stop. Why did they leave the rape detail out? Isn't that pretty sensational? Wouldn't that help them sell more newspapers? I remember reading the article and scratching my head trying to figure out why two coaches would be fired for "hazing." In a follow-up article the paper quoted one of the coaches as saying that the athlete was just upset that he wasn't getting playing time. Again, they left out the rape part. Why?

This same newspaper ran 7 glowing movie reviews of Rumpranger Mountain on several different days, but never reviewed The Passion of Christ - one of the biggest grossing films of all time. Why?

The teacher who showed the clip from Rumpranger Mountain obviously didn't show the explicit scenes or she would have been fired. However, I still very much doubt that if the clip shown was a kiss between the two homosexual characters that the paper would mention that fact.

Let's follow up on this. I win if other news sources mention that the clip showed a kiss.
