Teen sex data distorts reality?

“Lies. Damned lies,“ claims the Arizona Republic

When the daily paper, with a left-leaning agenda a mile long, chooses to support its position with statistics, they do so with a vengeance.

Take for example Sunday’s sky-is-falling editorial in which they claim the Republican party is in a free fall, with little hope of recovery. The polling data they cite emanated exclusively from the liberal networks and media, but they slathered it lavishly to support their case. Mysteriously missing was any reference to conservative stats, or an effort to provide journalistic balance. Does such an entity even exist within the walls of the Republic?

Today they cite data again, this time referring to,” Lies. Damned lies.”It seems the editorial board doesn’t care for the information released by the Center for Disease Control’s National Youth at Risk Behavior Survey. The CDC and a federal report released earlier this month acknowledged a decline in sexual activity among teens.

The Republic has long expressed contempt for abstinence-only sex education, giving the back of their editorial hand to such programs. In fact, they actually included this line in their diatribe: “Some experts suggest we’ve reached the limit of what can be done to discourage sexual activity among teens.”

Try selling that “expert” advice to parents who take their responsibilities seriously.
