The gay son of Rep. Matt Salmon, Arizona Republican, told KPNX-TV in Phoenix on Sunday that both MSNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell” and CNN’s “Piers Morgan Live” canceled interviews with him because he refused to attack his father on the air.

Matt R. Salmon, the son, said MSNBC canceled his appearance because “they had intended to be critical of him and … I was unwilling to do so.” He also said CNN “seemed very gung ho about” an interview at first, but when he said he was supportive of his father, “they seemed to lose interest.”

Perhaps O'Reilly or Shep could have him on instead.

Oh, wait, they'd want the son to bash the father, as well.

American news media-—Public enemy #1.
American news media-—The reason we have a muslim loving communist in the white hut.

They should have asked Ron Reagan. He happily bashes any Conservative, especially his father.

Two more intolerant people then MSNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” and CNN’s “Piers Morgan would be hard to find. Their shows are driven by hate.

Re: MSNBC

Who is the faux news channel after all?

Has the gay lobby targeted and seduced a member of each politician’s family?

I think so.

I don’t support the lifestyle of the younger Salmon.....but that was classy of him to not take the bait from the Hate Media

[SeminoleCounty]

Actually MSNBC has Al Sharpton.....the Black Ku Klux Klan racist who is trying to lynch George Zimmerman. Sharpton is the worst

[garbanzo]

Are there any Democrat politicians who have publicly acknowledged gay children? It’s just that all of the publicly acknowledged gay children of politicians seem to be of Republican or movement conservative parentage.

Very true observation.

Our media is literally fighting a war on every single front to kill and destroy both the country and anyone who dissents from their views. They are in it for blood.

We need to either destroy or detach from these people completely. This includes most of the GOPe too.

The small crazed tyrants have declared all out war on American culture and the overwhelming majority of Americans.

We won't ever do anything though, rest assured. Just like the Soviets won against the Kulaks (sp?) and continue almost 100 years later to still keep that entire population in misery and hopelessness.

We will return to the era of serfdom soon enough. And only Elites (not even rich or upper-middle class people) will be excluded.

Anyone doubts haters are almost exclusively on the left?

Instead of Salmon, he went with Bass.

Thanks markomalley.

Morgan had about a weeks worth of losing gun control arguments on his show. When you make Jesse Ventura look like Mr. Common Sense, you are a loser.

[GOPJ]

CNN is soooooo transparent. I’m amazed anyone watches them...

Kwaanza Kook Klan...

“Perhaps O’Reilly or Shep could have him on instead. “

Shep would want to hit on the kid!

Shep would want to hit on the kid!

OK, well, maybe I should have said:

“Perhaps O’Reilly or Shep could have him on instead. “

Good for Salmon. It’s actually a bit refreshing to see a gay person stand up against the gay gestapo and their media allies in order to smear traditional marriage supporters such as the Congressman.

I think they do target vulnerable young people in their highschool and college glbt clubs, they have also added “questioning” to the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender. I think they use some of the same tactics as cults have used in the past, targeting people who are isolated or unhappy for some reason. Cults will embrace the new possible convert and shower them with unconditional love, luring them into the cult by degrees. This is a tactic that is also used by pedophiles, it is called ‘grooming”, it is a process of winning the trust of the child victim. Pedophiles often target kids who are having problems in their lives and I believe that a number of family members of prominent people have been targeted for their high profile exposure potential.

Kids sometimes get involved with drug users for the same reasons and are lured into the dug culture by the instant acceptance of the druggies.
