"Some say" it's nothing more than irresponsible "journalism"

A NYT article today, entitled Some Parents Oppose Obama Speech to Students, really piles it on.

The half witted objections of a small handful of idiots are being goaded on by irresponsible journalism like this. As if the media was desperately TRYING to 'spark a revolt'. It's maddening.

Look at the phrases they use in this article:
"has sparked a revolt among conservative parents"
"The uproar over the speech"
"particularly acute in Texas, where several major school districts, under pressure from parents"
"Some parents said they were concerned"

Then they go on to quote 'the concerns' of the half dozen or so lunatics making up this 'revolt' or 'uproar' in all their inane glory.

The whole article is just vile. Why do I expect more of the New York Times? Silly me.
