Why can't it the news just report "Obama chooses New Secretary to lead the ARMY? Why does the headline have to have the word "GAY?"

Like so many headlines, it seems to be important for the main stream media to use words like "black" "gay" "transgender" as if to make it a big deal. What happened to just the "human being?"

Well unfortunately that sells far more than not saying it. Controversy, like sex, sells articles. Even though there is almost no controversy over this, the media is still reporting it in a way to try to make some.

Sensationalism by the media. It gets more clicks and viewers. Causes some noise when it otherwise wouldn't. All for ratings.

I don't care if he is gay or not. I think that a few prerequisites were looked over though. LIKE THE FACT THAT HE HAS NEVER SERVED IN THE ARMY.
