PRESS SIDESTEPS DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE WEBB’S CHILD PORN PASSAGE

The Washington Post managed to write an entire story about the controversy without mentioning the passage of incest/child porn. (Washington Post) CNN chose to take Webb’s side and go after Lynn Cheney. (Townhall) James Webb described sex between a little boy and his father. If this is a film or picture, he gets arrested. Because it’s in a novel and he’s a Democrat, he’s given a pass. Finding an accurate headline was nearly impossible as they avoided any mention of the pedophilia or incest, which this NY Times article called “a provocative scene involving a boy.” Then near the end of the story: Kristian Denny Todd, a spokeswoman for the Webb campaign, said that a scene in “Lost Soldiers” that describes a father placing his naked son’s penis in his mouth involved a cultural expression of affection that Mr. Webb had witnessed as a journalist in Thailand. “He doesn’t get it,” she said. “But it’s a cultural thing.” (NY Times)
