‘Lone Survivor’ Director Slammed by Media after Critiquing Bruce Jenner Courage Award

For the second year in a row, a member of the LGBT community has taken home ESPN’s Arthur Ashe Courage Award, simply for being gay or transgender. If you take issue with that, you’re a trans-phobic and vile hatemonger, according to numerous media outlets.

Peter Berg, director of such films as Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights, and Battleship is feeling the wrath Thursday, after posting a critical image of Jenner’s ESPY selection to his Instagram page following Wednesday night’s show.

Berg shared an image of Army veteran Gregory Gadson, a double amputee who played a role in Battleship, alongside an older image of Bruce, who was still undergoing the cosmetic procedures that ESPN felt made him courageous.

If the press (i.e., media) is going to depart from reporting the facts and engage in advocacy, then it forfeits First Amendment protections and is subject to regulation.

I’m not trans-phobic, I’m trans-disgustic.

I've always been a fan of Peter's. He does good work.

And I should have heeded your warning. I'm sick of seeing that picture, because, well, it makes me physically ill.

Courage now equals = aging trannie using wealth accumulated as man to indulge his creepy fantasies in his remaining years

What got me was his teenage daughter weeping that “Bruce” had to hide his womanhood for 65 years

I wanted to ask her where she would be if he came out as a lesbian 20 years ago? As if Kris Kardashian would have mated with that?

Might have been a blessing for the world to have fewer “Kardashian-Jenners”

I watched about 30 seconds of Bruce Jenner, in a woman’s dress, speaking. I laughed out loud. For some reason, it caught me off guard when he sounded like a man. I guess it just struck me as so darn funny that this silly man, sounding like a man, was dressed like a woman and trying to convince people that he actually IS a woman.

I think he’s having a big fat joke on everyone.

ESPN pretty much sold the award to "Caitlyn" Jenner.

Report: Caitlyn Jenner's camp pitched ESPY award in exchange for PR plugs

Watch a few press conferences with WNBA star Brittany Griner and listen to “her” voice/speech.

I used to watch this loudmouth’s show, but when his leftist politics starting coming out I never watched his show again. Keith Olbermann has nothing on this liberal SOB. I wish there was a sports channel that didn’t parade this perversion. From Michael Sam to the freak Bruce Jenner, it never ends.

“While not referring to Berg specifically, ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd slammed those critical of Jenner receiving the Courage Award Thursday.

Cowherd referred to detractors of Jenner’s selection as “phonies,” and said he is tired of hearing “the right” say they are being force fed LGBT issues on TV”.

Nobody stopped him from speaking out...and we all fortunately got to hear his excellent message...

that a few malcontents took to social media to throw childish tantrums should not goad us into make things worse than they already are...

Anyone who doesn’t think there’s something mentally wrong with Jenner, only has to look at his current face.
He’s had too much plastic surgery & become a real freak show (even from the neck up).

I think he’s going to progressively exhibit self-destructive behavior possibly leading to a complete mental collapse

"Society" is telling us that we have to pretend that objective, physical reality does not exist.

If you insist that a Y chromosome is really a Y chromosome and not an X chromosome, you will be insulted, harassed, and targeted.

You are not allowed to disagree with the illusion.
