Sadly the MSM still believes that they control the narrative. For to long they were the ones that decided what got covered and how it got covered. The advent of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc.... coupled with the Internet has thrown them completely off balance.

They are no longer in charge and waking up to this fact has terrified them.

I would agree, and they have ample reason to be terrified.

With this CFA incident alone already much has changed.

From all of the articles and OpEds I have read and from viewing hundreds of declines to gay events on Facebook, I would say that the CFA dibacle alone has accomplished the following:

1. Revealed the ground swell of support for first amendment rights and traditional marriage.

2. Revealed the Rainbow Agenda to be an over-reaching, obnoxious and selfish affair, and caused not only moderate conservatives and libertarians, but from what I’ve seen also a good number of liberal sympathizers, to lose interest in the gay marriage movement. I have noticed a whole secion of liberals who seem to have suddenly broken from the movement. This is good for social conservatives.

3. Sounded a note to many that the liberal gay agenda is dangerous and must not be allowed to hold sway. Ergo, Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage and the Democrats including the plank in the DNC now looks like bad, bad timing.

you can’t control the narrative if your narrative is held in equal with the cartoons. Hard to decide which contains more truth, the comics or the MSM. I’m not interested in opinions of liberal news readers, especially when what I hear them saying doesn’t jive with what’s going on around me in fly over country!

What the MSM found out the hard way is this: They carry the water for the gay cause, but by doing so they grossly inflate their influence on society. So when such a scenario comes up, the gay cause doesn’t have a chance, and their media supporters were caught up a creek without a paddle.

My table included a friend who supports civil unions, one for gay marriage, and one who thinks government should get out of the marriage business, letting people and churches make their own agreeable arrangements.

I think the author couldn't wait to undercut the anti-homosexual marriage message.
