Judy Shepard Responds to 20/20
Well, I watched it. Bottom line...ABC lied. They made it seem like there was some previously undisclosed information -- um, did they read Harpers in 1999?
Once again, we were treated to that right wing nut Andrew Sullivan serving as the voice of gay and lesbian Americans. Why is it that the media and the Republican Party are equally attracted to men who on one hand profess to know what is right for everyone else and on the other engage in group orgies of unprotected sex? Go figure.
Here's the start of Judy Shepard's response to tonight's broadcast. For the complete statement, click here.
On November 26, 2004, 20/20 will air a piece that promised 'new information and facts' about Matt's beating and subsequent death. Dennis and I reviewed an advance copy of the show and were dismayed and saddened by the tabloid nature of the show, its lack of serious reporting of facts in evidence, and the amateurish nature of asking leading questions to the people who were interviewed.If you would like to participate in the ABC on-line forum about the show, click here.
