The Media Research Center’s Tim Graham abhors certain F-words. Other ones, not so much.
In an April 15 NewsBusters post, Graham complains that basketball star Kobe Bryant “an amazing $100,000 fine” for uttering the “gay F-bomb” at a referee. Even worse, Graham says, the New York Times “approvingly published gay activist John Amaechi on its Off the Dribble blog begging Bryant not to challenge the fine.”
Not only did the Times not “find room to consider that Bryant’s fine was excessive,” Graham huffed, it “was delighted when the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the TV networks and against FCC fines for fleeting profanities on broadcast TV.”
Can Graham really not tell the difference between a swear word and a personal insult? Or is Graham totally down with personally insulting gays? He might want to clear that up.
