• NewsBusters, the watch dog group dedicated to “exposing and combating liberal media bias”, are taking aim at GLAAD the group released a statement in which president Neil Giuliano “urges” the media to commemorate Falwell as a homo-hating monster:
As they look back on the life of the Rev. Falwell, media have an opportunity and a responsibility to reflect on the outdated, hurtful attitudes and beliefs he embodied…
It’s an important opportunity to take stock of how far our nation has come in moving toward a more respectful and inclusive society, and how far we still have to go.
Newsbusters go on to accuse CNN of buying into the Falwell bashing:
On Anderson Cooper 360, CNN correspondent Randi Kaye, who raised eyebrows in December for a story worrying about Saddam suffering when he hanged, shared no comparable horror at the death of Falwell. Her transcript read like a commercial for GLAAD… Anchor Anderson Cooper titled his segments “Faith and Fury,” and fury was certainly in heavy rotation on CNN.
If only Evangelical revisionists were in charge of the media…

Randi Kaye is an amazing reporter. When she was here in Minneapolis, she use to co-host Gay Bingo w/ Miss Richfield 1981 & volunteered at numerous events in the Twin Cities. It was a big loss when she moved, but we’re really proud of her being a part of CNN.
