BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The Washington Post came under fire for burying critical information when it reported that Target stores have received bomb threats over Pride merchandise.
The Post’s headline, “Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise,” led many to believe that conservatives who object to Pride displays sent the threats. However, in the seventh paragraph of the report the Post noted police said some threats came from people who “accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ.”
The editor of the Washington Post Matea Gold, made it clear on why the story was written that way. “Even though the threats more than likely came from someone who supported the LGBTQ, we still feel obligated to provide shelter for them, as well as to other strange communities.”
