When you dont feel like covering the news, you manfacture it. Remember the story I broke last spring about NBC News engineering a sting at NASCAR to try and expose fans as anti-Muslim bigots? Well, it looks like the dinosaur networks havent learned from the embarrassing backlash to that pathetic episode. Or Rathergate. Or Shattered Glass. Or Janet Cooke. Or Scott Thomas Beauchamp. Etc. etc. etc.
Now, according to the local Fox affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama, it looks like ABC News is engaging in media stage management and Theater of Journalism to expose anti-homosexual bigotry in the South:
ABC is doing a social experiment in Birmingham that includes having same-sex couples show affection for each other in public, according to Birmingham police department sources.
FOX6 first learned about this story from a Southside merchant who pointed out an RV parked at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South. The merchant said ABC was working on a week-long project to see how people would react to things like public displays of affection by gay and lesbian couples. A FOX6 news reporter approached the RV and talked with an actor who said, Yes, we are working for ABC News.
The experiment is apparently for ABCs Primetime Live program, which is running a series of undercover stings titled What Would You Do?
Welcome to Serious Broadcast Journalism: If you cant find the video you need to fit the P.C. left narrative, hire actors to make it happen.
Dinosaur network news motto: All the news thats fit to stage.
This is no experiment except to see how hard they can shove the gay agenda.
If there is no reaction, it will be loudly deemed to be thoroughly acceptable to 'queer off' at NASCAR events.
How long do you think that's going to fly with the fans?
If there is a reaction, especially anything which can be derided as "hateful" or violent, then the long knives of homoliberal urinalism come out and start hacking away at Southerners, NASCAR, etc.
The only way the homosexuals 'lose' is if the camera accidentally gets broken first. But they have chosen a venue with enough cameras to make that really tough accident to have.
Yeah I think they probably had the sense to realize it was a gag or setup or at the least a lone nutcase.
I live in a crowded city, and if I see any kind of professional video cameras, or people filming, whatever, I cover my face with my backpack, my elbows, my hands, anything to keep my face off their bloody broadcasts!
Unfortunately, all the vomit will be real.
Working in the fine tradition of dishonest reporting about grocery stores, gas tanks, National Guard memoranda, ...
I believe it's "Public Display of Affection," although in the context of this story, the notion of a "palm pilot" does evoke some pretty disturbing images.
Great, now you are a bigot if you are disgusted by perverts in public. Next up, perverts molesting kids or animals. There is little difference between the “intergenerational, homosexual, and interspecies” lifestyles. All are disgusting and rife with negative impacts on public health. Networks are merely the marketers of deviance and to those that refuse the marketing attempts, it is still your choice.
ABC is prejudiced and bigoted against anyone that refuses their marketing of deviance.
Why not Boston or San Francisco?
Yup...think I'll run over to Southside around lunch time and check this out.
I should have included a /sarc post. I was taking the position of the DBM.
That is all the news people ever do anymore, go for shock value.
Your sarcasm was quite clear to me. I was just joining in. I live in Birmingham and my hobby is shooting, although I don’t consider myself to be a redneck (unless some gun hating yankee needs his cage rattled...then I just have some fun).
Will they be rimming?
Fixed.
Exactly. Brainwashing new “social norms.”
