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

It’s so he can nod both heads at the same time!
The comment left by shawn on the NewsBusters site:
“I actually prefer a silk tie, the rope makes me chaffe”
lol
Your little yellow guy is a wimp. How many real men would run out screaming?

....with a rope around his neck and the other end tied to his nuts?...
The stress of being a whack left liberal at CNN is to much for some.....
I believe you are exactly correct. The people "reporting" the story probably breezed right past the kinky part without a second thought.

A Blast from the past, Satyricon.
The next to appear is a catamite, the silliest of mankind and quite worthy of the house, who beat his hands together, gave a groan, and then spouted the following delightful effusion:
“Who hath a pathic lust,
With Delian vice accurst;
Who loves the pliant thigh,
Quick hand and wanton sigh;
Come hither, come hither, come hither,
Here shall he see
Gross beasts as he,
Lechers of every feather!”
He had the rope tied around his genitals to help correct his “wide stance”.
Really baffling this is not the lead story worldwide. Could there be anything more important?
Does anyone make man-burkas?
Core liberals realize that society at large yearns or higher standards, and they deeply resent it, and try to manipulate the rest of us into joining the unspoken pact of moral depravity.
Thus when one of their own falls into moral depravity, they cover up. When one of their enemies falls into moral depravity, the shout it from the roof tops and are full of self righteous condemnation.
That's because he wasn't Brit Hume.
Great screen name BTW.
I am sure there is a reasonable explanation /s “
Could it be that gays run most of the fish wraps?
I read he had a rope tied to his “winkie”
and Drugs in His pocket.
sounds like something a democrat would do.
... just as long as no nooses were involved.
Maybe he was just taking little Dick for a walk?
Dick Quest's fate was decided long ago.
The 46-year-old reporter was initially arrested at 3:42 a.m. at W. 64th St. and West Drive for being in the park after the 1 a.m. closing, cops said.
He may have been coming from The Ramble, a notorious gay love nest buried in a densely wooded area of Central Park. It's less than 10 blocks from the area where he was arrested.
The Ramble as a gay icon
Since at least the early 20th century, the seclusion of the Ramble has been used for private homosexual encounters. In the 1920s, the lawn at the north end was referred to as the "fruited plain" and in the 1950s and 1960s the Ramble was feared by many as a haven for "anti-social persons".[10] In the early 1960s, under Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Jr., the parks department proposed building a senior center in the ramble with the hope of curbing gay encounters and anti-gay assaults.[11] Today, the Ramble's strong reputation for cruising for sex has given way somewhat to nature walks and environmentalism. However, some in the gay community still consider the Ramble to be "ground zero for outdoor gay sex", enjoying the "retro feel" of sneaking off into the woods.[12] A tradition much older than Christopher Street and Fire Island, the Ramble continues to be a gay icon even in the more open environment of modern New York.
