It isn't just staggering. It's a press campaign, intended to batter us to our knees. So to speak.
Thanks for the post of the Bozell article, he finds some good illustrations of the massive bias of mainstream media at work.
In another article about the Dirkhising incident, Bozell recalled finally cornering a mainstream editor (from the WashPo, IIRC) and cross-examining him about why they spiked the Dirkhising story. The lame, but utterly revealing, answer given up at length: "It doesn't resonate." (Emphasis added)
Which just about said it all.
BTTT.
It's because they are moral cowards who don't want to deal with the flaming and virulent hatred from the homosexual activist community. Same with the bishops in the Catholic Church. They're afraid of taking heat like the Boy Scouts has had the courage to do.
