GLAAD to CNN: Stop Giving a Platform to Hate Groups

[kpete]

GLAAD is now stepping with this petition:

CNN has long been one of America's most respected journalistic organizations on many issues, but for several years, it has had a giant blind spot when it comes to issues that impact the LGBT community. On December 21, John King USA ran a segment featuring Peter Sprigg from Family Research Council, but there are countless other examples. Out of a desire for 'balance' on these issues, CNN turned - as they often do - to the anti-gay industry to provide the counterpoint. Except all too frequently, the network doesn't book these people because they provide any actual expertise or experience on issues that impact LGBT people; their only qualification is that they are anti-gay.

Tell CNN to Make a New Year's Resolution:
Keep Away From the Anti-Gay Industry
