Not because anyone is likely to believe that she fellates goats (or performs additional related sex acts on them, or any other farm animal).

She should be fired because she is entirely blind to the very real distinction between pumping up interest in a story by using "teaser" tactics...and misleading the public by misquoting sources and misrepresenting (or just plain making up) allegations of illegal and unethical behavior.

This isn't a giggle-fest. It's a dead-serious act of journalistic mimicry, turning Ms. Ginter's illogical arguments and unethical reportage back at her. If she wants to do an expose--on sex-positive groups, or the Accountants of America--she actually needs to come up with some credible facts BEFORE she goes on the air.

To claim that is is simply an adolescent frat-boy wannabe giggle fest would be inaccurate. This is Dan Savage's malicious attempt to cause harm to someone. Was he named in the story? Was he directly provoked? Has this reporter maliciously tried to ruin his reputation because of his writings? I hope she hires a lawyer, this will be an easy victory.

@55. It is, indeed, a slippery slope, isn't it?

Slog's response to this has been quite perfect.
