Blowback Against NPR Continues With Petition in Reaction to Story

[William769]

The blowback continues in reaction to an NPR story that gave equal weight to proponents and critics of conversion therapy, with a petition surpassing 4,000 signatures in three days.

The petition on Change.org calls for NPR to "correct and apologize for parroting 'ex-gay' propaganda." The public radio network has already admitted it handled the story incorrectly. Its ombudsman wrote a lengthy column and gathered statements from the journalists involved, who said they made errors in the way the information was presented.

But Truth Wins Out, which posted the petition, described the ombudsman's column as "disappointing and woefully inadequate."
