Kyra Phillips Didn’t Apologize For Having Richard Cohen on CNN. But Did She Make Good Today?

“So why is it still a misconception for some people,” CNN’s Kyra Phillips today asked guest Dr. Clinton Anderson, of the American Psychological Association, “that [homosexuality] can be reversed or, quote-unquote, cured?” Oh we don’t know, maybe because CNN is participating in perpetuating the myth?

Making amends for her prior segment that gave ex-gay propagandist Richard Cohen a platform to spread his misinformation, Phillips had an actual respected psychological expert on the program to shoot down earlier arguments made during her show. And we’ll leave it at that — unless, of course, CNN continues inviting certified quacks on its network under the guise of “journalism.”
