In October, CNSNews.com dishonestly claimed that the federal government was giving “preference” in hiring same-sex domestic partners of government employees at the U.S. Embassy in Libya; in fact, the preference was for “qualified U.S. citizens who were family members of U.S. government employees,” which included same-sex domestic partners. Now, CNS is going for a different type of dishonesty in smearing gays.
A Dec. 4 CNS article by Penny Starr on the CIA is “actively seeking recruits from a new demographic – the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community” is accompanied by an Associated Press picture of a group of “Dykes on Bikes” taken during San Francisco’s annual gay pride parade in June.
What does one have to do with the other? Starr’s article doesn’t explain. Apparently, CNS believes all potential gay CIA employees will ride motorcycles during a gay pride parade.
Remember, CNS’ parent, the Media Research Center, has a pretty heavy anti-gay agenda.
