On another thread there was a discussion about why the press didn't "out" NJ Gov McGreevy. I remembered a couple of things and went looking. One big issue regarding press coverage of McGreevy, Foley, etc, is you need to take into account the number of gay people in senior positions in the MSM. People who will take it real personally if a reporter attempts to break a story that will harm a gay politician who is friendly to the Left

This is a transcript of mediabistro.com's March 12 panel, "Gay Editors at Mainstream Magazines: Ghetto or Gestalt?" cosponsored by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and held at New York's Obeca Li. Produced by mediabistro.com editor Albert Lee and NLGJA's New York chapter head Steve Reed (also deputy wire editor for The New York Times), the panel was moderated by Newsweek International senior editor Marcus Mabry and included: • Arlyn Tobias Gajilan, senior editor at FSB: Fortune Small Business and a veteran reporter on gay issues for Newsweek; • Adam Moss, editor of The New York Times Magazine; • Maer Roshan, former editorial director of Talk magazine; • Henry Scott, media consultant for BusinessWeek, Nest, et al, and former president and editorial director of Out magazine; and • Emil Wilbekin, editor-in-chief of Vibe.

WOLF: Well yes... We are just the"starts" of the MSM...er... :) But behind us there is an army of lefties just like us... all fighting for the same cause.

Ok team, let's do a cheer! :)

"... we all kiki and drink our white wine"

Can somebody translate this, lol?

[RichInOC]

Yeah. I mean, I get drinking white wine, but what in the wide world of sports does it mean to "kiki"?

[RegulatorCountry]

I'm reasonably certain it's not golf.

Someone needs to go into these resources and start stripping out the names, and making a list of all these gay special-pleaders in senior and editorial positions in the MSM. Between them and the atheists and the scientific materialists and the Stalinists, all these ideologues are literally poisoning public discourse in America.

It's like Lyndon Johnson said that time, to nobody in particular, in that scene in The Best and the Brightest after the Ten Wise Men, who six weeks earlier had advised LBJ to stand firm and strengthen his efforts in Vietnam, had walked out of a fresh consultation during Tet, having just advised Johnson that the U.S. had lost the war in Vietnam and that he should cut his losses and get out.

Quoth LBJ, lost in thought, "Somebody poisoned the well."

FYI. And what is "kiki" - do I want to know?

[kcvl]

From my very short 'investigation' (aka GOOGLE) it must mean gossip. lol!

This may help with "kiki"......although it seems awfully imprecise.

You might profitably look at their entry for the word "homophobia" -- and notice that it seems to have been overtly political coinage. Notice, too, that the word was coined in 1972, when organized gay psychiatrists and psychologists were plotting the political overthrow of the clinical definition of homosexuality as a paraphilia, and the institutionalization of their own definition of "normal".

I found a few other references that all seemed to be related back to this usage, such as the Japanese video character "Hard Gay Kiki Ippatsu" (actually performed by a straight man).

I also found an archived reference to an old article in the July, 1960 issue of One: The Homosexual Viewpoint entitled, "KiKi [sic], or the butch-femme". It was part of a resource list at www.rainbowhistory.org.

According to its political correspondent Richard Burke, speaking to the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, "Three-quarters of the people who decide what goes on the front page [of the Times] are 'not-so-closeted' homosexuals."

It might be what Foley wanted to do to the underaged pages.

Can you imagine the horror if there were a symposium of editors or reporters who were concerned about marriage or children? My G-d, it would be lampooned as a 1950s revival or Archie Bunkerism. If a group of reporters start creating a cabal to protect politicians who protected family values, it would be exposed as 'protectionism' and 'bias' and a corruption of the Constitution itself.
