Because I am sure the guy writing the article wasn’t going to let it go, he’s the one interviewing him.

Do you know the context the interview was agreed to? Ever see Roger and Me? Press lie all the time to get interviews, about the reasons for them etc etc etc. They spoke for an hour, yet in the article there are no more than 10 or 20 direct quotes from Dan Cathy in the article, do you think those were the only things he said in a 60 minute interview?

Nearly 1/3 of the article is providing backstory about his comments that caused the ruffle, and quotes from folks who disagreed with him, you have to go about half way down the article before you really get any quotes from Dan Cathy himself. Other than this:

“All of us become more wise as time goes by,” he says, apologetically, in a rare, one-hour sit-down interview. “We sincerely care about all people.”

Which again, there is nothing in what he says that is aplogetic, that’s editorial by the reporter.

You are looking for a reason to be offended and there isn’t any. Go READ WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID... its no different than anything he’s said in the past, the only difference is the editorialization around it.

Go read exactly what he said, not all the hogwash around it, just what he is quoted as saying, and then take into context how those statements are being presented by the reporter, you’ll see what he has said is nothing different than he has ever said.. The only thing he’s stated that’s new is that he’ll be wiser about when he speaks his opinion, not in any way has he apologize for his opinion, or state that he has changed it.

Anything that implies this, is purely editorial content provided by the reporter/editor, not by the words of Dan Cathy.

This is pure propaganda, and the fact you and others can’t see it, is beyond disturbing. If folks are so media unsavvy as to believe that Dan Cathy has changed his beliefs around homosexuality based on this article, then there is no hope for this country.
