The Media Research Center’s Tim Graham has been watching like a hawk for any evidence of gayness in the media. Why? Because to him, gay = liberal, and neither can really be allowed to exist in the media.
Which makes Graham’s freakout in a Nov. 20 NewsBusters post over the Washington Post helping to sponsor a National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce conference in Washington and sending an employee to speak so utterly predictable: “The Post didn’t just fund it. They participated. On Friday afternoon, the program touted their Communities of Color Business Initiative, with speaker Jonathan Capehart.”
Graham went on to declare that “There’s no question that what the Post is funding here is a socially liberal advocacy group.”
Is it the liberalness or the gayness that offends Graham more? Or is the combination that pegs his squick meter?
