On Heretical Editorials and Biased Reporting

Will editors and reporters realize they've been captured?

It’s been bewildering seeing the unquestioning devotion with which reporters and editors at The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette adhere to the tenets of gender ideology. NPR has gone even further, becoming the evangelical broadcast wing of the gender religion.

None of these outfits have given much coverage to the ongoing scandals in gender medicine, whether it was The WPATH Files or now The Cass Report. Their readers and listeners likely have no idea that Europe is moving away from the affirmation model at breakneck speed.

But there are glimmers of hope. We covered an editorial published in The Pittsburg Post-Gazette a few weeks ago in which a father reasonably expressed his concerns about gender ideology. The New York Times actually published an editorial saying biological sex is real and important. Now in ultra-captured Massachusetts, The Boston Globe has published an editorial by BROADview’s Lisa Selin Davis about The Cass Report.

It’s important to point out that the reporters at these papers still follow the demands of gender ideology and consistently conflate gender distress, dysmorphia, and fetish with homosexuality. They still use biased language such as “anti-trans” when writing about any moves to protect women and girls from men in their spaces or sports. They still refer to mutilating surgeries and drugs as “care” and still frame this quackery as life-saving medicine.

It is frustrating that gender heresy is confined to the editorial pages and news coverage remains so bizarrely skewed. However, the fact that these editorials are being published at all indicates that editors and reporters are noticing something is amiss. Will they dare to look at their biased language on this issue and change it?
