Reply #3: I am happy but: Sharpton's hitting Murdoch where it hurts......

... or where it *could* hurt. At the FCC level.

Good to have a plan; it's better to have a plan that might WORK. Asking the media to report that Delonas and Murdoch have a history of GLBT defamation is a plan, but it probably will not work. Have you seen any MSM accounts of the chimpanzee fiasco that referenced the 20+ year caricatures of GLBT's in the POST? I haven't.

I only know about it because I live in NY and am periodically exposed that particular paper.

By GLAAD's own account, they've issued three separate "Calls to Action" in the past re. Delonas. Anything to show for it?

Sharpton, OTOH, has an ( admirable , in this case) instinct for the jugular and we can learn from it and, in fact, ought to be HELPING him.

Murdoch doesn't care about GLAAD's Calls to Action. He DOES care about his multiple broadcast licences and that freaking waiver that allows him to own so much of the media in this town.

Hmmmm... if I didn't know better I'd suspect that some of our local, ostensibly gay-friendly pols were instrumental in getting that waiver and getting those license renewals.
