(6,342 posts)Looking at the comment sections of his site concerning this story, it's filled with tea partiers and homophobes talking about "gay agenda" conspiracies and how it's the far-left is trying to "destroy western society." And you are kind of playing right into it.
But... first off the media never gets anything right. Especially when a story is first reported, 90% of the information is wrong or it's interpreted incorrectly. We see this all the time if you watch cable news during a breaking story...speculation runs wild. No one knows anything for sure. And everything is exaggerated. So yes, the media does twist facts. Second off, why do we automatically trust the other parents? Because they did an interview on CNN? There are people that say those parents are not angels either. Both sets of parents are going to give a story that supports and helps their child and their case. That's to be expected.
