How About Writing About Reality
ArchPundit
Kevin McDermott joins the it’s just icky so I can’t print it about gay couples:
“African-American women in particular had to choose between supporting an African-American or supporting a woman,’’ said Bonnie Grabenhofer of Illinois NOW, who isn’t a delegate but is in Denver this week accompanying a friend who is a Clinton delegate. “(Jones) essentially said that it wasn’t a legitimate choice that she made.’’
It’s possible that’s how Grabenhofer worded it which would be her call, but I’m not buying that’s how she phrased it. She’s there with her partner and the press avoiding the reality of that is an incredible abdication of their duty. They would never say a man or woman was there with a friend if it was their spouse.
Now, in Kevin’s article it doesn’t lose any context to the story as the story I flagged the other day where it was a material fact, but it’s homophobic garbage and has no place in papers. Printing the simple fact has nothing to do with condoning or rejecting the relationship, it’s reporting a fact about it.
