Hearst Granddaughter Launches ‘Cosmo Harms Minors’ Campaign...
Breitbart ^ | 4-16-15 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 04/16/2015 5:58:59 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

The granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, of the multi-national media empire Hearst Corporation, and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) are launching a campaign that demands Cosmopolitan Magazine be displayed behind blinders or in an opaque wrapper and not sold to minors.

Victoria Hearst, who is also the founder and president of Praise Him Ministries in Montrose, Colorado, and Dawn Hawkins, executive director of NCOSE, will be joined by child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist and author Dr. Miriam Grossman on Wednesday, April 22 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to launch their new campaign titled “Cosmo Harms Minors.”

“Cosmopolitan Magazine is a porn magazine, glamorizing things like public, anal, group, or violent sex in nearly all of their issues,” says a statement on NCOSE’s website. “We are asking that Cosmo be sold to adults only and have the cover wrapped like all other porn magazines in retail shops.”

“In recent years, Cosmopolitan Magazine has blatantly started to target young girls to expand their audience and increase profits,” the press release adds.

In a telephone interview with Breitbart News, Victoria Hearst said she has tried for years to talk to family members on the board of directors of the Hearst Corporation about the fact that Cosmo is harmful to young people...

“Minors shouldn’t be able to buy Cosmo, it’s adult content and minors shouldn’t be exposed to it,” Hearst said. “Apparently, my family members in authority in the Hearst Corporation don’t care about corrupting and harming children. They only care about money.”

But Victoria Hearst pushes back. “Cosmo is anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-marriage, and promotes a deviant lifestyle centered on sex,” she says. “It promotes promiscuity – with its risks of getting STDs, being raped or murdered, and its promise of emotional and psychological damage, including suicide.”

Good to see a Hearst who is a Christian. I pray she will lead her entire family to Christ.

The statues don’t have signs underneath them that tell you how to perform oral sex and anal sex.

Back when the First Family had at least one member good-looking enough to sell sex advice (GW Bush's niece Lauren).

Hmmm...

Well, pretty sure other parts of the Louvre, MOMA, Gugenheim, etc have depictions of amorous acts.

Sometimes there is a thin line between art and pornography.

Cosmopolitan uses three words to draw attention on its covers over and over again.

The words are “Sex”, “Naked” and “Orgasm”.

I don’t get into fights like this but I find obsession with those words to be toxic to me personally and I’m sure they are to others......

Billy Graham was publicized and became famous after the original William R. Hearst went to one of his tent revival meetings around 1950.

Every month they roll out a new cover girl all slutted out to compliment the “23 ways to drive him insane in bed” hook on the cover. Every month. The periodical has zero redeeming qualities... other than knowing who to avoid because they are spotted reading it which means they weren’t taught that if you want to impress a man you need to clean and dress the deer he brought home for you to cook for him.

Per Wikipedia, she has another sister that's a conservative Catholic. I'll leave the debate on that to the Religion board.

Good to see a Hearst who is a Christian. I pray she will lead her entire family to Christ.

"Cosmopolitan uses three words to draw attention on its covers over and over again."

Cosmo has reached the stage of self-parody; I don't know how a mature woman could read it without laughing. All those cover stories about, "Ten bedroom moves that will drive him crazy." It's juvenile; only a moron thinks that sex is subject to endless "innovation."
