[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] Twice in just 24 hours, Good Morning America on ABC hailed a graham cracker company for supporting gay rights and standing up against "hate" and "bigots" who called for a boycott. Yet, it was just last week that the same program touted the "game changing" firing of a CEO who supported traditional marriage. The network even used video footage to compare the executive to the hateful Westboro Baptist Church. On Monday, Paula Faris showcased a Honey Maid commercial featuring gay families. Reporter Paula Faris explained that "the right-wing conservative group One Million Moms calling the ad, quote, 'an attempt to normalize sin." She praised, "but this morning, the graham cracker company is refusing to crumble." According to Faris, the company is "rolling messages of hate into one of love." GMA Sunday anchor Bianna Golodryga lectured that "The graham cracker's clever statement against bigotry going viral."
