Fox News Closets Harvey Milk?

When Fox Entertainment Correspondent Jill Dobson joined Fox and Friends Saturday On Novemer 29 to review Sean Penn's performance in the new movie "Milk," something seemed to be missing in her description of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to political office in the United States.

The photo and audio of Harvey Milk I use in my video are excerpted from a slide show and longer audio clip available from links on the NPR webpage at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96865519

The image of the poster used to promote the 1950 movie "The Jackie Robinson Story" is available on the National Archive website at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/robinson/images/lobbycard5r.jpg

@bahdahdoop Did you even watch this video? Did you not get what was said here and what Harvey Milk stood for and what he would have WANTED said about himself. The hope is that one day it will not matter, but for now, while homophobia exists and while LGBT people are still being discriminated against, beaten and even murdered for their sexual orientation this is important.

a small audience?

He won an oscar.

@chadd990 Agreed.

[diuga1]

@meehee45 Oscar, many times, did not mean financial gain.

You will get the same amount of accurate information on Fox News that you would get by watching "Spongebob Squarepants".

what really makes this movie review bad journalism, is that she forecasts a small amount of audience, so she suggests, that the movie is not recommandable, its not worth seeing it although it will get good review as sean penn is popular in circles of movie experts.

@Cimmantti Posted a reply on your page. You might be surprised that this thing called "THE DICTIONARY" disagrees with you on that. But I mean, what do Miriam-Websters, Oxford and other such groups know? I mean you are a freaking expert right? And clearly your degree in psychology/psychiatry speaks for itself right? Not to mention your stunning grasp of the English language.

Oh "Kthaxbie" is not a word. I looked in the dictionary and it wasn't there. Strange.

[Cimmantti]

@paganpixieprincess Just to let you know, "homophobia" is not a real word...nobody's scared of gays. Homosexuals are not the same as spiders or the dark.

Kthnxbie.

Thank you for this.

Yeah it was rather a central point to the film. Having thought a bit about it, it's clear to me that she obviously wanted to undermine it and that she clearly went out of her way not to mention it. A film about a politician - so what?

[chadd990]

... I don't she avoided the fact that he was gay. She clearly said this was a movie about Harvey Milk and his story. If you know anything about Milk and his story, you probably know he was gay. If you seen the trailer to the movie, you probably know he was gay.

And I don't think when she said this movie wont appeal to a large audience, that she was implying that people dont want to see a movie about gay rights. People would just rather see twilight or harry potter.

@korisx I believe that Dan couldn't handle the embarrassment of being beaten by a gay man, blamed the Mayor for his part in his disgrace and turned to violence as his answer.  What to do you think?
