"Губку в квадратных штанах обвинили в гомосексуализме"

"Christians issue gay warning on SpongeBob video"
CNN is at it again, those Christian fanatics!!! They are anti-gay, those homophobic haters!
Let us check what actually has been said:
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/1/afa/102005a.asp
For those people who find it difficult to understand AFA's objection, Wildmon said they should imagine a scenario in which the shoe is on the other foot. "What if these television characters were singing about personality, but then when children went to the website, or when the teacher opened up the accompanying lesson plan, the topic was Christianity?" he said. "A lot of people would be angry with that kind of approach. And that's why many Christians will be upset with the strategy taken by the We Are Family Foundation."
--------------------------------
Break down, for people who don't want to spend 40 minutes doing a background research. "We are family" http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.org/ foundation distributed their video to 61,000 public and private elementary schools.
"While the video itself does not overtly promote homosexuality, it serves as a hook to entice children and teachers to use the web site and the materials there such as teacher lesson plans, which explicitly promote the homosexual lifestyle." http://www.afa.net/afa_waff.asp
So basically, Christians object to sending elementary students to cites like http://www.tolerance.org/ which is listed as one of the Benefactors of WAF foundation at http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.org/Sponsors.asp
Not a word about Sponge Bob being gay, not even a word about his video, since this isn't even Sponge Bob's video. "Christians object to the refference material, bundled on DVD" sounds like a fair title, reflecting the issue at hand.
Hmm, is this fair and balanced? Wait, sorry, wrong channel.

You've got to love CNN, who else can do such amazing one sided misleading reports while pretending to be factual?....
Wait, I know... NPR? ;)
