Tony Perkins: Calling It “Don’t Say Gay” Is Fake News

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:



At some point, maybe we should ask the Associated Press who they’re associated with. Right now, all we can gather is that they’re “associated” with the Democratic Party, the LGBT lobby, and any effort that distorts the news to suit the far-Left.

That political bias, which has been on full display with the trucker convoy and election reform, was back in full force Tuesday, when the bastion of journalism couldn’t even bring itself to call Florida’s parental rights bill by its real name.

After all, being honest might have exposed the real news: that most of the state supports it.

Zeke Miller, the reporter covering the story, announced instead that the “Florida legislature has passed the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, which Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign into law.”

Of course, the word “gay” doesn’t even appear in the bill — not that this stopped the BBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Time magazine, and NPR from repeating the lie.

Only CNN, NRO’s David Harsanyi points out, felt the need to use any facts, writing “Florida House approves bill prohibiting schools from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity in K-3 classrooms.”

Just imagine, Harsanyi wrote, “If Republicans had decided to call the Democrats’ recent abortion bill — on demand, until crowning, paid for by taxpayers — the “Let’s Kill Babies” bill (though pretty accurate, actually), no major news agency would have allowed those words to creep into their reporting, much less used it in a headline.
