“Please don’t kill us!”
What would be an equivalent pro-Trump group?
The Cognitive Dissonance Scale explains all!
Forget about the other ethical values ignored in the news media’s handling of this episode. The most striking aspect of it is the sheer incompetence, stupidity and ignorance involved.
Anatomy of a marketing fiasco.
“Ethically, the Golden Rule would apply to how society treats Jenner, and anyone else for that matter. I would agree. There is no reason or justification for humiliating Jenner. That is cruel.

The Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner tale is as hard for me to analyze neatly and dispassionately as the aftermath of an elevator crash. But I’m a fool, so I’ll take a shot at it anyway.
The enemies of this country’s mission, history and culture are playing the Cognitive Dissonance Scale like a Stradivarius.
No, you idiot! Now everyone will be confused about “The Philadephia Story”!
