WaPo doesn't realize DADT survey came out in our favor

From Media Matters:

Some expressed fears about contracting AIDS or getting leered at in the showers. Others worried that it would get in the way of critical bonding at barbecues and bar outings. Still others said it would be an affront to their religious beliefs and harm the military's credibility.

That's the Washington Post's lede for an article about a study finding that 70 percent of the military thinks ending DADT won't pose a problem: The fears of "some" about AIDS. Instead of emphasizing views that are consistent with the study's findings, the Post chose a more inflammatory, and less accurate, route, playing up ugly stereotypes about gays. The first quote or paraphrase of a survey respondent who favors repealing DADT didn't appear until halfway through the article, after the Post had told readers that (again, a small minority) of respondents fear AIDS, leering gays, affronts to their religious beliefs, damage to military credibility, diminished barbecue bonding -- and quoted three repeal opponents.
