Imagine for a moment that a Fox News reporter was arrested in Central Park early in the morning with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals. Do you think this little nuance would be included in press coverage of this bizarre event?
Probably in the headline and the opening paragraph, right?
Well, for some reason, though news outlets did report the odd happenings in NYC Friday morning when CNN's Richard Quest was officially arrested for loitering and drug possession, from what I can tell, only the New York Post included the "kinky" elements in its article Saturday

Just doing the job normal Americans won’t do...
I imagine it’s because most people in the MSM found the kinky part completely normal and common among their crowd and, thus, inconsquential.
“I am sure there is a reasonable explanation” /s
there is a reasonable explanation for this, you must consider that at CNN this in not that odd for it’s employees to act in that manner, but at Fox that is way out of line.
So it is no big deal, he was most likely with others from the news room. :-)
Is that a mug shot?

CNN'S QUEST A VERY 'KNOTTY' BOY

Just keep in mind that the gay mafia will get him a gay judge who will “get him off” of all charges...
...meanwhile, straight Black males are getting ten years in Club Fed for having “some Meth in my pocket.”
I find him guilty and sentence him to hang by the little neck until he’s dead.
Let me help the manistream media over their shyness:
“CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said. [...]
Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket. [...]
He was charged with loitering and criminal possession of a controlled substance. His unusual get-up didn’t lead to a lewdness charge because he wasn’t exposing himself, the police source said. “
There. Now we all know what works at CNN.
You should see his picture! He’s got to be “gay”!
He sure keeps a nice shine on his teeth.
No, you don't know your audience.
What the NY Post is doing by saying "Imagine for a moment if a Fox News Reporter" did the same...
...is showing leftists that a double-standard is in play, and **hypocrisy** is one of the few moral failures for which the Left will concede an occasional audience.
In contrast, normal human beings would find the tying of a rope around a neck and genitals while carrying an illegal narcotic stimulant to aid in cruising for anonymous gay sex to be immoral-enough to condemn without the added hypocrisy element.
But the NY Post knows that few-enough "normal" people are going to read an article on Quest's public behavior. The hypocrisy charge is needed for their intended audience.

...
Richared Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.
...
Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the rope was for.
The criminal complaint says the officer at the scene was able to ID the drug because of “his prior experience as a police officer in drug arrests, observation of packaging which is characteristic of this type of drug, and defendant’s statements that . . . ‘I’ve got some meth in my pocket.’ “
He was charged with loitering and criminal possession of a controlled substance. His unusual get-up didn’t lead to a lewdness charge because he wasn’t exposing himself, the police source said.
Richard QUEST, was a NAUGHTY BOY er “knotty” boy.
Hmmmm ... wonder who his little friend was ... ?
EW!
speechless !!!
