CNS Covers Anti-Transgender Activists At School Board Meeting (That CNS' Parent Helped Incite)
Topic: CNSNews.com

We've documented how the Media Research Center helped to inflame right-wing emotions against a Virginia school board located near MRC headquarters over the hot-button issues of critical race theory and transgender rights, resulting in a school board meeting where disorderly people got arrested. It also generated more content for various MRC operations, like this June 23 CNSNews.com article by Elizabeth Nieshalla, under the biased headline "Virginia Parents Fight Back Against Loudoun County School Board’s Transgender Policy":

A Loudoun County, Va., school board meeting on Tuesday was the site of a large protest against a transgender policy that ended reportedly in one arrest and one injury.

Nearly 300 parents and community members attended the meeting to speak out against the pending pro-transgender Policy 8040, Critical Race Theory, and related left-wing ideologies of the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) School Board. Some people who support the policy were also in attendance.

Loudoun County parents organized a rally outside of the LCPS Administration Building to take place prior to the meeting. A crowd wearing red gathered in solidarity against the school board and the policy.

Cathy Ruse, a lawyer and former Fairfax County School Board member said at the rally, “Loudoun County School Board is poised to impose on all families in the public school system a radical anti-science proposition that biological sex is meaningless.”

The policy, she said, “wraps itself in fake science and then shuns any true science that doesn’t further its politics.”

Needless to say, more attention was paid to opponents of thet policy than supporters, and Nieshalla made no mention at all of the fact that her employer help to incite the anti-transgender forces.

Nieshalla is a summer intern for CNS, who doesn't seem to be interested in teaching her how to do fair and balanced reporting -- or to disclose clear conflicts of interest.
