Media Bias For Homosexuality

No factual information that could reflect negatively on homosexuals is likely to find its way through either media or academic filters, but anything that shows gays as victims can get massive coverage.  A search by journalist William McGowan found more than 3,000 media stories about a gay man in Wyoming who was beaten unconscious by thugs and left to die, but fewer than 50 media stories about a teenage boy who was captured and repeatedly raped for hours by two homosexual men, who likewise left him to die.  McGowan’s search indicated that the second story was not mentioned at all in the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times, nor was it broadcast on CBS, NBC, ABC, or CNN.
