Cliff Kincaid from the right-wing AIM bias pimping operation is up on his haunches and braying
In a blatant violation of journalistic ethics, Time magazine assigned a homosexual reporter, John Cloud, to write the recent Time cover story on homosexual teenagers but did not disclose his conflict of interest to its readers.
So I guess now in addition to bylines, reporters are going to be required to disclose their heterosexuality or homosexuality, depending on the subject of their stories.
Conflict of interest? Wha?
What sort of writeup would Kincaid have expected from a heterosexual reporter?
Oh NOES! TEH GAYZ! I thought we were fighting them over there, so they can’t redecorate over here?
More waving of the arms and gum-flapping.
“No, don’t look at that mess !
Here! No, Here! Look over here!
We’ll here more of that in todays speech by DubbleFool.
I wish Time and Newsweek would placate Cliff Kincaid and have an atheist write a big cover story on Christianity.
I completely agree with this new openness in journalism.

I enjoy frottage, furries and rough play
Cliff Kincaid: being gay and writing about gay is
Hey- maybe he IS gay! He seems to have his head stuck pretty far up his own ass.
I think he might be onto something- from now on, each byline should include these general tid-bits:
Race?
Date of Birth?
Gender?
Bwhahaha!
I say we apply these “journalistic ethics” standards across the board. Why stop at sexual orientation? From now on, only nonwhite, nonmale reporters may be assigned to cover the White House and Congressional Republicans. Imagine:
“In a blatant violation of journalistic ethics, Time magazine assigned a white male reporter, John Doe, to write the recent Time cover story on the President but did not disclose his conflict of interest to its readers.”
He’s just biased by his hetersexuality.
Are women who report on women’s issues supposed to announce they got the story because they have a uterus? Do Black reporters have to say, “Yeah, I’m the token black reporter, so they sent me to do the Martin Luther King story.”? Do reporters have to tell us their political leanings when they’re sent to do a political story? In days of old, we were able to assume that reporters did a good job just because they were supposed to. It’s a sad world we live in that we now believe there is a slant on everything written.
That obviously means that if bigoted morons report on Cliff Kincaid, they have to declare a conflict of interest.
[...] Oliver Willis finds Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy In Media engaging in a little recreational identity politics and cries Cliff Kincaid from the rig [...]
I wonder if Fox News “journalists” will now find they have to disclose their political party affiliation before they do stories on Democrats or Rebublicans?
