MLIVE Editors Purposefully Lie

I can't stand condescension.

Especially when its used in the face of an article that begins with a lie

The title "'Filthy homosexuals': Michigan GOP leader Dave Agema's Facebook post sparks furor " SCREAMS out to the casual reader that MI Committeeman Dave Agema made such a statement. I was amazed he would say such a thing.

Amazed I tell ya!

Funny.. he never did. He quoted someone who actually said:

"Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives"

Huh.. so very different.

Yet when challenged, instead of acknowledging the error in reporting, the editorial board for MLIVE simply deletes comments they do not like. I can understand that on someone's personal blog, but this entity presents itself as a news source. Editor Dave Murrays says:

"Readers,
Comments, many of them, actually, have been removed for violating the community user rules. We ask that you discuss this topic with civility and respect, without insulting each other or entire groups of people.
-- Dave Murray, Grand Rapids community engagement specialist

Yeah ok Dave. lets take a look at what got MY comments ALL Deleted.

Go below the fold.

My comment started and a few others threaded through. (I made sure to save a text record)

Amazing.. He never said "filthy homosexuals" yet it is headlined as if that is so. (license to confuse by para-phrasing? - yeesh)
So much for any journalistic integrity.

From the article linked by Agema
"part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle"

As some have pointed out, I did explain the headline in comments below, but I'll repost here so people don't have to go searching:
One part of the article states the following:
Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27).

There is a great difference in the way it gets presented as a headline, and the way it was actually presented in the piece.
One way (the way you presented) makes the impression that he actually SAID was "You Filthy Homosexuals" as a PERSONAL attack.
Where the way it was actually presented by Agema was quoting another source who called the lifestyle filthy.
We can argue which perspective actually is more true to reality, but there is NO argument that your presentation was irresponsible, and should require an apology.

And THAT is when I was 'terminated' with prejudice.

There is a lesson here.

NEVER question their integrity. Its a sore spot.

The title they presented was made to be the truth for whomever read it. Without any context or proper presentation. As it became the obvious prevarity, they had to resort to threats as seen in this screen capture:

"Headline off topic" - So change it Einstein.

This is all for now.

MLIVE has proven itself unfit to serve as a journalistic outlet, and is merely a boarding house for the low information types who believe anything in print.

Smile big Dave, it helps people forget that you lie.
