Manufacturing the News: ABC news hires actors to engage in homosexual PDA, provoke reaction

When you don’t feel like covering the news, you manfacture it. Remember the story I broke last spring about NBC News engineering a sting at NASCAR to try and expose fans as anti-Muslim bigots? Well, it looks like the dinosaur networks haven’t learned from the embarrassing backlash to that pathetic episode. Or Rathergate. Or Shattered Glass. Or Janet Cooke. Or Scott Thomas Beauchamp. Etc. etc. etc.

Now, according to the local Fox affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama, it looks like ABC News is engaging in media stage management and Theater of Journalism to expose anti-homosexual bigotry in the South:

ABC is doing a social experiment in Birmingham that includes having same-sex couples show affection for each other in public, according to Birmingham police department sources.

FOX6 first learned about this story from a Southside merchant who pointed out an RV parked at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South. The merchant said ABC was working on a week-long project to see how people would react to things like public displays of affection by gay and lesbian couples. A FOX6 news reporter approached the RV and talked with an “actor” who said, “Yes, we are working for ABC News.”

The “experiment” is apparently for ABC’s Primetime Live program, which is running a series of undercover stings titled “What Would You Do?”

Welcome to Serious Broadcast Journalism: If you can’t find the video you need to fit the P.C. left narrative, hire actors to make it happen.

Dinosaur network news motto: All the news that’s fit to stage.

The homos are scared to death of a Saracen, they will not go near a mosque, the press is the same way. they know a Christian and Jew will not have a violent reaction. One day maybe the worm will turn. One day maybe they will get their just due.

Thank God the TV writers are on strike.

They may have the film clips of these staged hoaxes, but who'll do the narrative that holds the clips together?

I doubt that they'll want to rely on ad lib narratives.....they may get the carp sued out of them for a few wrong words.

Strikes have some benefits, not many, but some.

What ABC would really love to see is a bunch of rednecks in the bed of a lifted pick-up with 38" mud bog tires and confederate flags flying from dual whip antennas. Then, as they roll alongside the homosexuals, it would make for great ratings if they opened fire with fully auto AK-47's while yelling "God hates F*GS!"

In their warped elitist brains, that's what happens every day in the south

And sadly, even though about 99.9% of the population will ignore the gay PDAs, there will probably be one group of teenage "good 'ol boys" who might make a scene or an otherwise disparaging comment and thus provide all the good footage for ABC to show over and over again while making generalized statements about southern homophobia.

I’m trying to figure which of the brilliant city council critters or Mayor approved ABC mounting their equipment on the light poles.

Aren’t these the morons who set the model rocket motors on the pick-up truck fuel tanks to make sure the fuel would ignite in a roll-over?

Sick bastards.

PDA = public display of affection

I consider same-sex PDA to be a violation of public-private boundaries. I do not consider homosexuality itself to be de facto wrong; on that I am liberal (or better, libertarian).

I wish more of the intelligentsia was cognizant of deeper issues. The need for male/female role models and norms versus their preoccupation with equal equal for everybody.

I saw two young women holding hands in a grocery store in Austin, Texas. They looked uncomfortable as hell - like they were forcing it to make a point (like ABC in this case). The only folks I saw reacting were Hispanic women who started giggling at the foolishness.

LOL - they are prejudiced against flag waving, redneck, military supporting, Christian conservative middle America. They have just zeroed in on the south and NASCAR fans first. I am a flag waving, redneck, military supporting, Christian conservative in upstate NY hidden away in Hillary country.

I’d like to see them take one of their white newsbabes, dress her in a skirt-suit, and film what happens to her as she walks through a minority “inner city” neighborhood at 2 AM
