  1. Is it just me or are Edward Terry's articles on Layman.org rather balanced and free of the "scare quotes" and other rhetorical devices that TLC typically uses when talking about 'the other side'? I was impressed and thought they were a fairly good account of who said what (although I experienced Deb Peevey's talk quite a bit less militaristically than one might gather based on her choice of readings and metaphors).

    I had hoped to talk more with Edward while he was there since it was kind of an interesting dynamic having a "reporter" at the conference. I suppose I'm wondering if this is a sign of some shift in TLC, just a personal style of this particular reporter, or is there the proverbial Other Shoe that will drop?

  2. He has just posted two more articles since I posted this. We have become so used to the mixing of reporting with editorializing over there that a balanced article is a surprise.

    Agreed on Deb Peevey's talk. The title of the article (placed by the editors) made it sound more military-like than the article as well.

    Of your three options, I tend to think this guy is a good reporter.

  3. Heh. I agree with Brian. I was quite surprised that the first Layman headline wasn't, "Apostates and Heretics Gather at Sodomite Conference." lol

    They must be losing their touch.
