Globe
Reveals the Truth About Jeanine Graf
She Might Be a Christian!
The Boston
Globe revealed the truth last month about Jeanine Graf, talk show
host on 96.9FM.
She is
suspected of being a Christian.
Although
it’s difficult to believe that the Globe really wrote those bigoted
remarks, you can check it in their print paper on page E8, June 1.
The Globe
wrote, “Already, protesters…are commenting on Graf’s background.”
What
is that dangerous background?
The Globe
gave us the answer. “About ten years ago, she did in fact work for
a Christian station, Salem Broadcasting’s WEZE-AM (590) in North Quincy.”
The paper
didn’t report whether it had confirmed that she actually is a Christian.
But it did express its concern that she might be. The article was
titled, “Graf must be accountable, too.”
They
also revealed that her reporting of the Children’s Sex Conference
Scandal was very successful and reached a lot of parents. They didn’t
realize they were telling how successful she was when they attacked
her motive as trying to boost her ratings. This drew a comment from
the publisher of Massachusetts News, J. Edward Pawlick, “They obviously
thought that parents and other people were very interested in this
news and they are troubled that she was getting high listenership.”
Some
of the other glitches in the very long article about Graf were the
following:
It said
the taping of the explicit sexual meeting by parents was done “illegally.”
But there are many lawyers who would love to challenge that statement.
This is a very new law which was enacted to hamper organized crime,
not to harass parents who are taping school employees in a public
meeting to show what is being taught to children as young as 12-years-old.
They
never reported that many homosexuals called Graf and agreed that the
meeting should not have taken place.
The goal
of the meeting, according to the paper, was to “lower the rate of
teen depression and suicide.” But the Globe never revealed how explicit
sexual instruction in “fisting,” “oral sex” and other such topics
would prevent depression or suicide. In fact, many persons have pointed
out that such instruction will increase the incidence of AIDS and
other STDs and depression.
According
to the reporter for the Globe, she spent “a few nights” listening
to the Graf show and found a “disturbing” fact. She learned that many
listeners believe the purpose of the meeting was to encourage children
to experiment in homosexual sex. “It’s a specious idea that comes
up repeatedly,” said the Globe. It complained that “Graf does not
contradict or correct her callers.” But the problem with the Globe’s
comment is that anyone who listens to the tapes or reads the transcripts
can quickly see that the purpose of the meeting was
to encourage the children to try the sex. Nevertheless, the Globe
went on to attack Graf saying, “It’s an idea rife with homophobia
that can be used to rationalize all kinds of bigotry, including violence.
Although Graf won’t speak for her callers, she says she is not homophobic.”
It’s a standard Globe practice, said Pawlick. “They set you up with
a terrible accusation and then ask you to deny it. No matter what
you say they have already covered you with their slime.”
There’s
a serious problem with how they closed the article. The Globe never
gave one example of “hate” or “fables” on her show and yet the following
was printed by them: “Whether or not she agrees with the callers who
go on air with hate-filled rhetoric or homophobic fables passed off
as fact, she ought to take responsibility for what her listeners hear.
To let lies go uncorrected is to be complicit in the bigotry they
spread, which damages rather than promotes her legitimate discussion
about the rights of parents. She’s the adult here. She should recognize
the implications of context as well as content.”
