Ohioans are set to go to the polls to vote on State Issue 1 which would make it harder to change the state constitution. The ballot referendum has made national headlines in recent weeks due to the leftist media's rage over the ballot question that, if passed, would require 60 percent to agree to amend the constitution and therefore make codifying the left's radical cultural rot more difficult.
The state's largest newspaper attempted a "fact check" of conservative claims that "porn moms" (a catchy term for suburban leftist women who have no objection to sexually graphic books in schools), exist. But in so doing, the fact checker accidentally admits they do exist.
This failed fact check was published on Cleveland.com by Lucas Daprile, under the headline On Issue 1, there are no ‘Porn Moms’ of Shaker Heights.
Daprile started off the article whining: "As Election Day approaches, an article from a pseudo-news organization claiming that a Shaker Heights “pro-school porn moms group” opposes State Issue 1 has attracted attention on social media." Many would argue that Cleveland.com is a pseudo-news organization.
"The article does not list an author, nor does it say whether it sought comment from the groups named. The primary target of the article is the founder of Red Wine & Blue, which the group dubbed 'porn moms'," Daprile bemoaned.
After a few paragraphs providing details on campaign spending from both sides, Daprile accidentally tells to truth and admits "porn moms" do exist:
The Cleveland Reporter post was based on Red Wine & Blue, a multi-state group that seeks to build support for liberal causes among suburban women in swing states, voicing opposition to Ohio’s State Issue 1. Red Wine & Blue publicly opposes book bans and offers access to banned books, such as Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer: A Memoir and Juno Dawson’s This Book is Gay, according to the Red Wine & Blue website.
Gender Queer, which PEN America described as the “most frequently banned book” in 2021-2022 school year, has been a frequent target of those seeking to ban minors from accessing controversial books. The award-winning graphic novel, which Barnes & Noble lists as age-appropriate for readers 15 and older, is a memoir that includes depictions of oral sex.
While there are several pages of sexually explicit material, Gender Queer is a 240-page book that’s primarily about the Kobabe’s journey in identifying as nonbinary.
This is a rare moment of honesty in the leftist media. Even though it's apparently accidental. Often times, the media will claim conservatives are "banning books" and not explain why or what's in said books.
Someone should tell Daprile if he wants to advance from a local reporter to a national propagandist at The New York Times or The Washington Post, he needs to learn to carry water for the Democrat Party more effectively. Accidentally telling the truth isn't allowed there.
