Is Fox Gullible?
|
NAMBLA is not and has never been, as an organization or through its officers or through any other authorized agent, on FaceBook or any other social media. Social media can serve as the modern version of the marketplace where people once exchanged ideas. In this spirit, people are free to post their lawful expressions on any of these new media independently of NAMBLA. It appears that the issues NAMBLA stands for are important enough for all sort of people to have used social media to express their own opinions. For reasons of privacy, a well publicized problem with such Web sites, NAMBLA from the start chose not to participate.
NAMBLA is a life-affirming organization that believes that a wide variety of benevolent human orientations, including all mutually desired relationships, enriches the social fabric. We are opposed to all who would demonize these positive forms of human expression they do not understand.
In this respect, Fox News would appear to be the problem. It fans the flames of intolerance through insinuations, half truths and outright lies. Their aim is not the presentation of actual news, but the entertainment of a gullible public while reinforcing false notions and prejudices. These are disguised as substantial news. It's a little early for Halloween.
NAMBLA has no power to control what people say. They are free to agree or disagree. But we do condemn those individuals who have falsely and cravenly represented themselves as NAMBLA for their own nefarious purposes. It defies credibility that Fox News does not have the sophistication to recognize these realities. Neither can we dictate what others purport to say in our name for purposes we don't know. NAMBLA primarily speaks through its Web site which can be visited at www.nambla.org.
