Apparently\u00a0two men who adopted children have been charged with sexually\u00a0assaulting\u00a0them<\/a>. \u00a0The story doesn\u2019t come out and explicitly say they are gay, but since the the two men are said to be married, we\u2019ll assume.<\/p>\n

Now, why won\u2019t we hear CNN or CBS or NBC or the AP running with days and days and days of coverage over something like this? \u00a0 They\u2019ve been known to do it before<\/a>. \u00a0Because there is no such thing as a media. \u00a0There\u2019s only\u00a0propaganda\u00a0 \u00a0Not to say there are no real journalists out there. \u00a0Bless their hearts, there are some left. \u00a0But on the\u00a0whole, most media outlets are simply advocacy groups for various agendas.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0ramrodding\u00a0non-heterosexual normality down the West\u2019s throat is one of most media outlets\u2019 prime agenda. \u00a0Thus, like most progressive ideals, we are presented with the narrative that in these liberal ventures, there is no\u00a0guile\u00a0 \u00a0All will be right with the world. \u00a0All is perfect. \u00a0All is wonderful. \u00a0Just like Glee and other shows, the job is to advocate and promote, in a way not unlike the old Ozzie and Harriet<\/i> was accused of doing for the traditional American\u00a0family\u00a0\u2013 though I\u2019m not sure it was as flagrant as most media and entertainment venues today.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when something like this pops up, don\u2019t expect any coverage at all. \u00a0I merely stumbled across it on a comments thread on a blog about a subject not at all to do with this story. \u00a0Get used to it, all who fail to conform to non-progressive, non-secular values and ideals.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
