Media malfeasance

Media malfeasance yet again: ABC News refers to Chechneya as ‘conservative’ not Islamo-totalitarian in Gay oppression story…….


H/T:  via

“Totalitarian” is very different from “conservative,” . This is why no one trusts the media anymore.

For many gay men in conservative Chechnya, living in fear for their lives is commonplace

They call themselves survivors. Two Chechen men who agreed to share their story say they have been forced into hiding and their lives are in danger simply because they are gay.

 

They say they are so afraid, even with a place in a secret safe house outside of Moscow, that they asked ABC News’ “Nightline” not to reveal their identities so they can share, without fear of reprisal, the details of their lives in the shadows. All interviews are translated from Russian.

 

The two men, who we have chosen to call “Danill” and “Dimitry,” spoke with ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Terry Moran and said they fled Chechnya because authorities were rounding up and arresting gay people.

 

“Because the rounding up of homosexuals had begun,” Danill said. “And it was a new level of rounding up.”
