Re: Ted Haggard: Sex Scandal on Child Abuse
It's unbelievable how ABC mentions his gay sex with a prostitute and drug use as a event and his gay sex as just sex. The anchor gradually get more and more positive as the story progresses. The story seems so sympathetic of this poor man's ordeal, but it all ends in an uplifting message and finally a plug for Haggards sermon. No mention of his "lack of moral conviction" or how this affects the gay rights movement in the US. Well done ABC. I fear to see how Fox is approaching this.

This kinda felt like a commercial for Ted Haggard.
I'm sure his publicist and agent set it up. But I found his fervent preaching at the end to be a little over the top for a "news" segment.
