Roll left and crash.

The thing that turned me off of journalism is that I have to read blogs to get the story behind the story.

This makes sense. In fact, given the huge support the LDS Church has given the BSA, I've been waiting for this to unfold, but, of course, this isn't news to the arbiters of "news":

//Meanwhile, the Girl Scouts are quite miffed about the announcement. In fact, they’ve been smelling a rat for a while now. Back in August, the Girl Scouts sent a, well, strongly worded letter to the BSA accusing them of a “covert campaign to recruit girls.” Furthermore, they wondered why the BSA would seek to recruit girls rather than the “90 percent of boys who are not involved” in Boy Scouts.

Could the BSA be floundering because of its 2015 decision to allow openly gay adults into the program as leaders? Oh, nothing to see here! chirped the AP. The Boy Scouts seem “more robust” than they have in years, it wrote.

Really? Than why is the Mormon church peeling off about 200,000 Boy Scouts as it starts its own program? Why are Boy Scout camps closing? Moreover, why is the BSA printing articles in its publication on “how to revive a declining pack or troop?”

No, the BSA isn’t looking for girls to join because its numbers shrank 7% in a ten-year period, would it?//

Like the Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and other denominations, the initial tilt into left-wing activism drove off the base, which has led to the BSA "doubling-down" on inclusiveness in order to make up for the loss of membership, which will drive off more of its base. ....Lather, rinse, repeat.
