I wonder when the Gay old New York Slimes will run this story:
THE NEW YORK TIMES AND GAYS ["3/4 of the people deciding what’s on front page are...homosexuals"]

At the recent New York Times annual meeting, Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. turned in another amazing performance, acting ignorant about the paper’s pro-gay bias that is becoming a national embarrassment. A year ago we had raised the issue of Jesse Dirkhising, the 13 year-old boy who was raped and murdered by two homosexuals in Arkansas in September 1999. The media’s general failure to cover the murder stands in sharp contrast to the massive coverage of the death of Matthew Shepard, the gay college student in Wyoming. The Times hadn’t published a word on the Dirkhising case.
A year later, nothing had changed. In fact, when Cliff mentioned Dirkhising’s name again, Sulzberger still acted like it didn’t ring a bell. The Times’ failure to cover the case was mentioned by John Leo of U.S. News & World Report in a recent column in which he said, "Since the murder, not one story about the Jesse Dirkhising case has appeared in the New York Times." Andrew Sullivan of the New Republic, who is himself gay, told John Leo that the New York Times would rather go out of business than report the Dirkhising story.
This reflects a hard pro-gay bias. I told Sulzberger that Richard Burke, his national political reporter, has said openly, publicly, that homosexuals are now dominating the coverage of the New York Times. Specifically, here’s his quote: "There are times when you look at the front page meeting and literally three quarters of the people deciding what’s on the front page are not so closeted homosexuals." I asked Sulzberger to comment on the paper’s pro-homosexual bias, and whether this is responsible for suppressing the Jesse Dirkhising story.
