Fox Goes After Sesame Street’s Supposed “Assault” On America’s “Moral Foundation”
Source: Equality Matters
By Carlos Maza

Fox News has a nasty habit of assembling trios of unqualified and anti-gay guests to fearmonger about the threat of “gay indoctrination” aimed at America’s youth.

Last week, it was a “power panel” decrying a gender diversity lesson in a California elementary school.

This week, it was “The Great American Panel” attesting to the evils of Sesame Street’s <[insidious>] pro-diversity and pro-tolerance agenda. The panel consisted of:

•- Ben Shapiro, a conservative columnist who has compared homosexuality to incest and adultery, called homosexuality “immoral behavior,” and accused President Obama of trying to start a “race war.”

•- Ken Blackwell, a former Ohio secretary of state who has publicly endorsed the idea that “homosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed” and attempted to smear his opponent in the 2006 Ohio gubernatorial race by accusing him of having a gay affair.

•- Kirsten Haglund, the 2008 winner of the Miss America pageant.

Seems “fair and balanced” enough for Fox, doesn’t it?
