THE RELIGION THANG
The media's problem with black lesbians

Issues of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation trigger a particular type of news broadcasting on the major networks. With their objective to provide viewers with "infotainment" rather than fair and balanced reporting, discerning television viewers - straight and gay alike - are more often insulted by the news than informed by it.

Case in point: "The O'Reilly Factor" with Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel, which recently tipped the scales of purportedly delivering fair and balanced reporting. O'Reilly carelessly brought inflamatory news to his viewers about an alleged national epidemic of black lesbian gang violence terrorizing neighborhoods and schools in large urban enclaves.

According to Rod Wheeler, a Fox News crime analyst, these black lesbian gangs recruit and force kids into homosexuality. "There is this national underground network, if you will, Bill, of women that's lesbian and also some men groups that's actually recruiting kids as young as 10 years old in a lot of the schools in communities across the country," Wheeler told host O'Reilly on the show.
