The editorial board of PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. is taking a hardcore stance against those who disagree with the Supreme Court ruling to legalize gay marriage.
“As a result of Friday’s ruling, PennLive/The Patriot-News will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage,” they declared.
After receiving strong pushback, the newspaper’s editorial board, which is overseen by Editorial Page Editor John Micek, quickly revised its policy. Freedom of speech will be allowed — but only for a “limited” period of time.
Micek explained on Twitter: “Clarification: We will not foreclose discussion of the high court’s decision, but arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”
Before that, there was this: “From the edit: ‘PL/PN will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.’ …This is not hard: We would not print racist, sexist or anti-Semitc letters. To that, we add homophobic ones. Pretty simple.”

Wow! Freedom of Speech will be allowed, but only for a "limited" period of time. What has happened to the morals, common sense, historic understanding of our Constitution and so much more?
ReplyDeleteAll is can say is we're sliding into the abyss very fast. Pray as never before.
No worry Gods master plan is coming together,time to be ready!
ReplyDeleteShould be the papers right and prerogative just as should be the right and prerogative of a baker to not make a cake celebrating a same sex marriage. To bad the world doesn't accept the rights of the individual anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe are fighting Goliath in the Story of David and Goliath....
ReplyDeleteGOD WINS IN THE END....
So who among us is going to be DAVID?
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
That's their right. If you disagree then don't read their news at all. Go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of news sources out there.
They have a point. The debate is over and it will never go backward.
ReplyDeleteYou will be and accept the NWO or they will retrain you in a retraining camp!
ReplyDelete"That's their right. If you disagree then don't read their news at all."
ReplyDeleteThen it is time for them to stop masquerading as a 'free press' and identify themselves as an agenda-driven propaganda machine. Under those circumstances, I would agree that they have a 'right' to skew information any way they like.
And paper print newspapers wonder why they are struggling to make it financially. Good debate makes for good reading, one sided stories get bored and repetitive fast!
ReplyDeleteThat paper has been on the ropes for a while. I hope it folds nobody with a brain reed's it anymore let alone pay money for it.
