btk coverage: bias against scouts?
Wizbang has a piece up that questions whether or not the AP is peddling political bias against the Scouts or just engaging in a bit of sensationalism by giving its BTK story the headline Cub Scout leader arrested in BTK killings, when there were other facets of his life to focus on.
I say it’s the latter - the “Cub Scout leader” as serial killer makes a better villain and attention-grabber. I don’t think it’s going to be used as media justification to, for example, run the Scouts out of San Diego.
The AP has since put up another BTK story, one with a less sensationalistic headline.
