Oscar and the media: Tolerance v. homophobia


Here are three headlines from the three New York City dailies on Wednesday, the day after the Oscar announcements. I think they say alot about their relative journalistic integrity v. ideological propaganda.

"Small Films With Potent Themes Lead Oscar Nominations"
New York Times

"Oscar Pat on 'Back'"
"'Mountain' leads charge with 8 nominations"
Daily News

"Oscar Out Of The Closet As H'wood Flips For Gay Films"
"ABC now fearing a mass tuneout" (sidebar)
New York Post
