CNN Sucks. Why can't they just tell it like it is "Don't Trust Republicans"

Look at this graphic on the home page of CNN.

Instead of telling it like it is, they have to baby the GOP. What they are really saying is that Republicans will tell you one thing to your face, but behind your back they will fuck you every time. I'm so sick of CNN's bullshit.

1. WTF? "GOP friendlier to gay community -- at least behind the scenes"

GOP friendlier to gay community -- at least behind the scenes

<...>

While the Republican Party may take anti-gay positions on paper, behind the scenes many who advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender causes feel more accepted. There is even an ad that will run during the convention that will feature San Diego's Republican mayor, Jerry Sanders, speaking out in favor of allowing same-sex marriage. Sanders urges his party to do the same.

<...>

"The platform is a piece of paper," said Jimmy LaSalvia, executive director of GOProud Inc., which will attend the convention and hold "Homocon 2012," a giant dance party with Republican notables after the speeches Tuesday. GOProud is the first gay Republican group to endorse Romney for president.

"The platform doesn't carry rights and responsibilities that the candidate is bound by," he said. "Routinely after the platform is out, candidates quickly make statements that they don't agree with it."

<...>

"This election is bigger than one issue. We are in a crisis in this country and gay people need jobs. Sure same-sex marriage is important, but we can't base our presidential vote on it," LaSalvia said.

3. Behind the scene is just another way to soften bigotry, plain and simple...

By letting the crazies dominate the public rhetoric they are forfeiting any claim of tolerance.

The question I would as is if it were Black folks instead of Gay folks, what would be the response of the newsmedia...
