In today's Los Angeles Times, there is a headline written in the most turgid prose imaginable: NTSB declares official causes of Chatsworth crash: text messaging and lack of automatic braking system

To say that headline downplays the reality of this horrific, completely avoidable catastrophe is an understatement.

The story blithely remarks that the National Transportation Safety Board concluded the Metrolink engineer "compromised his ability to observe and appropriately respond."

The story goes on to outline the finding that the rail engineer, Roberto Sanchez, responsible for the worst death toll in Metrolink history, had done so because of the fact that he was texting when his commuter train rammed into a freight train at over 40 mph.

Oh, the story left out his name. Yes. The name Sanchez is not mentioned, nor is the fact of the cause of the deaths -- namely that Sanchez was texting pubescent boys. Somehow the Los Angeles Times failed to mention that Sanchez was a homosexual.

Can you imagine if a Christian pastor or Roman Catholic priest was texting potential converts while driving a locomotive? Can you see the screaming headlines about the horrible pain endured by those killed by the engineer's selfish act of texting while driving a train?   If this was the case, the Los Angeles Times would clearly state the nature of the perpetrator and the recipients of his texts.
The calls for a ban on proselytizing the workplace would ring out from Pelosi, Obama and Reid.  The Los Angeles Times downplayed fact that the killer was pursuing his sexually deviant appetites and this directly resulted in 25 deaths.

Why?
