CBS, the network television news division once known as the most conservative of “The Big Three,” the house that Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite built, unveils a documentary Monday night that seeks to explain and explore the difference between sexual attraction and gender identity.
It’s called Gender: The Space Between, and it debuts at 8pm, with a webcast to follow on the network’s website.
Jumping on the bandwagon that Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric have built to draw viewers who are curious about gender differences, transgender identity and gender non-conforming individuals, Alex Wagner will guide viewers in what the network’s website called “Gender Terminology 101.”
Critics from the right have already pounded CBS for “peddling LGBT propaganda.” Without the benefit of having seen more than a preview online, NewsBusters denounced the documentary that it said was “promoting the radical left’s perverted LGBT agenda.”
