I personally think flinging body fluids is bad, of course, but that doesn't mean a few local protests engaging in the practice in the 1980s are going to make national news. Prisoners "gas" or fling their body fluids around prisons every day and you almost never hear of it in the national news even when people contract diseases that eventually kill them from it.
And the national news underwent more strict censorship during the 1980's than it does today. Also, only a tiny fraction of horrific crimes even make national news both then and now.
Just as an example, consider the Newsom/Christian murders. Now there's a horrific crime. Examine the facts of what happened in that case. There was a popular outcry from the public that the crime was not being reported in the national news media because the victims were white and the murderers all black.
Honestly, I don't know if that played a role or not in the mainstream liberal media's decision not to escalate the story to national news but the truth is that only a tiny handful of the 15,000 murders that occur in the U.S. every year ever make national news and the ones that do usually have attributes of a prolonged nature that make news organizations want to cover them at that level.
I think you're making an assumption here that simply isn't true.

Pause to think about this for a second. You aretrying to say that a horrific assault on parents and children was committed bya nationally recognized gay organization but not a single news outlet eitherprint or televised ever made even the slightest mention of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
