Targeted and Framed: Miss California


Former Miss California Carrie Prejean, an outspoken Christian, is ousted by the media for "scandalous" photos which are no worse than what you would see in a typical woman's magazine. They are NOT nude photos as the media is reporting. I kid you not, one TV news program said the "nude" photos were too controversial for TV and could not show them, yet when TV news had no problem showing parts Paris Hilton's sex video, blurred out in key places of course, which skyrockets her to stardom. This is the quintessential definition of a double standard.

Three out of the four judges for the Miss America were gay. That alone should have disqualified them judging as their priorities are clearly somewhere else. The judges knew ahead of time she was a Christian, and she was asked for her personal opinion about marriage with a clearly targeted question, while the other contestants were given soft safe questions. Apparently Carrie Prejean got her personal opinion wrong stating she believes marriage should be between one man and one woman, and coming from a state that just voted to agree with her statement. Judge Perez Hilton the very next day on multiple media outlets tore her apart calling her a bitc* and a cun* among other things (http://bit.ly/hYnOs), yet he gets a pass. Again, a double standard. Major media outlets said nothing of this vulgar hate speech.

Then Carrie Prejean is stripped of her crown for not performing her duties as Miss California. What is one of those duties? Taking semi-nude photos for Playboy which she refused to do because of her clear moral convictions (http://bit.ly/4BXYLs), as well as be a part of a goofy reality show (http://bit.ly/3Gjm1o). A setup for failure? Of course! If a liberal gay beauty queen refused to appear at a Christian event or low quality TV program, I guarantee she would have been given a pass.

This is just one clear example that mainstream media is liberal and biased.
