It is time to educate CNN about the
radical animal rights agenda and their dangerous promotion of it!
CNN is set to air a full hour special tonight called
Jane's Fight for Animal Rights. It features representatives from
the hardcore animal rights fundraising groups, PETA, the Humane
Society of the United States (HSUS), Sea Shepherd, In Defense of
Animals, Farm Sanctuary, and Mercy for Animals -- not one of which
represents mainstream values. It also includes cameo appearances from
celebrity spokespeople for animal rights, Bob Barker, Pierce Brosnan,
and others used to legitimize extremist views.
Media depends on ratings to stay on the air, so it's understandable
that TV networks sometimes select groups whose media-grabbing antics
and out-of-the-mainstream views makes them newsworthy, at least as
representing a minority point of view. What makes CNN's show so
reprehensible is their lack of balance, their lack of providing people
representing the majority view the opportunity to refute extremist
claims with fact-based evidence.
The result is that CNN's show is providing radicals a platform to be
seen as America's go-to resource when it comes to animal issues.
Thus, PETA, a group that has refused to condemn violence committed in
the names of animals, HSUS, a group with a spokesperson who said his
goal is the abolition of agriculture, and Sea Shepherd whose leader,
Paul Watson was recently placed on Interpol's International Wanted
List all get free publicity and the CNN bully pulpit.
It's vitally important that you tell CNN how you feel about their
program and about the groups they've selected to represent animal
issues. CNN needs to understand that pandering to sensationalism not
only hurts the people who actually care for animals, it hurts the
animals themselves. Let's use this opportunity to educate CNN about
the animal rights agenda and how it differs from true animal welfare.
