In recent coverage surrounding the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), CBS News featured the voice of a representative from the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC). The TVC is a die-hard opponent of ENDA, legislation that would protect people from being fired from their jobs due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.

While opposing viewpoints on ENDA can be expected from a major news organization like CBS, the TVC happens to be a nationally recognized hate group.  They've been labeled as such by the Southern Poverty Law Center, in large part because of their working spreading lies and misinformation about LGBT rights. Among the lies championed by the TVC are that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are "threats to America," and that LGBT teachers would harm children.

Why would CBS let a voice like this go on their airwaves?

Send a message to CBSNews.com's Editor-in-Chief, letting him know that when covering issues as important as workplace discrimination, it's imperative not to let nationally recognized hate groups define the debate. Given the lengthy track record of hate comments from the TVC, CBS should aim higher. Hate groups should not be given talk time on major national news networks.
