WASHINGTON, April 13, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Traditional Values Coalition has learned that in an attempt to stop the haemorrhage of negative press and to pre-empt losing sponsors, Nickelodeon will be airing its controversial Nick News program on homosexual parenting/families commercial-free.
Nickelodeon has come under fire from the U.S. Traditional Values Coalition and other pro-family groups for its production of a children's show that will promote homosexuality. The show was taped on June 5, 2003. It featured homosexual activist Rosie O'Donnell, pro-homosexual host Linda Ellerbee, a homosexual principal, and a homosexual New York fireman. "The show was also supposed to have presented a conservative Christian perspective, but the program was badly skewed in favor of homosexuality," said TVC's Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.
"We learned through press accounts that Nickelodeon was working behind the scenes with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to produce this program," said Lafferty. "Both of these groups are actively promoting the normalization of homosexuality in our culture-and GLSEN has specifically targeted children."
Lafferty believes that Nickelodeon has crossed over a line from being a children's network that parents could trust, to an activist organization for the promoting of homosexuality. "Unfortunately for Nickelodeon, the hemorrhaging has begun. Parents can't trust Nickelodeon any longer," said Lafferty. "The fact that they're willing to air this show even without sponsors is evidence that they're pursuing a homosexual agenda-not providing wholesome entertainment for kids. It is my hope that advertisers will stop sponsoring programming on Nickelodeon until this network changes its ways."
Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom, the same corporation planning to create an exclusively homosexual TV channel.

MTV's parent organization is Viacom International, which also owns Nickelodeon. See the full report, "A corporate scandal worse than Enron," at: http://www.theinterim.com/2002/oct/13acorporate.html
