WHIO-TV Endorses Local Rapist- the REAL War on Women
*UPDATED IN THE COMMENTS. WE HAVE THE LIST OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THANKS TO A READER.
*MOST RECENT UPDATE CAN BE FOUND HERE.
This is one of those moments, as a blogger, where you have to get “dirty” for lack of a better word. I hate bringing negativity here, but this time, I’m making an exception.
One of our news stations WHIO-TV in Dayton, Ohio ran a piece on a gun-control demonstration at a recent gun-show. You can watch the video here. The man interviewed as the “gun-control advocate” was Jerome McCorry, a “Reverend” here in Dayton who runs the Adam Project. He’s also a convicted rapist. By Ohio law, he’s a felon. And by Ohio law, he isn’t allowed to posses a firearm. This lovely tid-bit of information was brought to my attention by Buckeye Firearms.
So I called WHIO out on their Facebook page, wondering what they were thinking. I have absolutely no problem with WHIO speaking with someone who is for gun-control (I’m not for gun-control, and I’m not going to discuss that further here either, so mosey on by if you’re looking for a fight) but interviewing someone for a TV segment who is a RAPIST is not the person to talk to about taking away someone else’s rights. He’s been there, he’s done that and he got the orange jump-suit to prove it.
WHIO’s response? Well, I’ll let you read that for yourself. Fair warning: have a puke-bucket near by.
I was shocked. How could they, the media, use their bias to influence their viewership? Why is WHIO claiming that a rapist is endorsed by our local law enforcement? This brings up a whole new discussion.Are women safe in Dayton? Are the police going to take rape claims seriously, if they are known by the media to endorse rapists?
But by the time I had heard about this, Dana Loesch (an amazing, influential woman with conservative views and nearly 100,000 followers- check out her blog here) had already been all over it on Twitter.So when I joined in, WHIO took notice. And then they responded:
I wonder if WHIO thinks that his message was peaceful and harmonious when he was raping his defenseless victim?
And you know, my title is also a little biased on this one. Dayton Daily News and WKEF ABC22 FOX45 also interviewed this man, and failed to disclose his background. They all had a hand in this. Not one of them has made a statement.
Simply put, gun control is not about reducing violence. It’s about control. Just like rape isn’t about sex. It’s about control. Which makes sense for Jerome McCorry, a rapist, to be advocating for gun control. It’s up to our media how they portray an individual.
I just ask you, my reader to think of it like this: If this man was your daughter’s rapist, would you be happy to hear how he is portrayed in the media? I’m guessing not.

That is disgusting. I think you now know how your local news team feels about rape…they support the rapists.

I think the reporting would have much more professional and meaningful if it had been disclosed that he was a felon who could not own a gun. It is true that a person can change and I hope that he has. It may be that he uses his past to try to impact others with the possibility of change.Nevertheless, complete disclosure by the media would have been honest.

“It may be that he uses his past to try to impact others with the possibility of change.”
While that might be true, protesting a gun show AND speaking on television about why people shouldn’t have guns are not ways a convicted rapist should share what he has learned through his crime. Perhaps be a counselor to other convicts, but don’t tell me why my rights should be taken away when you have already been convicted of taking away someone else’s right, privacy, security, and safety.

Was he the only pro gun-control demonstrator there? If so, why is this demonstration even a story? If not, they couldn’t have found a non-felon to talk to? Or, was he the best spokesperson they could put forward?
You make an excellent point about “control” being the modus operandi, for both the rapist and the gun control advocate. Maybe that is what made him the perfect spokesperson.

I think I found one of the LEO supporters of Mr. McCorry that you were asking about on the WHIO FB page. It’s none other than Montgomery Co. Sheriff Phil Plummer! Turns out he’s the Vice Chairman of our own favorite Dayton rapist’s Project Adam. Chief Deputy Scot Landis is also a member. This is from the Project Adam FB page, under the “About” section. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Adam-Project-Inc/150187828333465?v=info

I spoke to Sheriff Plummer this evening. He stated that he resigned from the board of The Adam Project three (3) years ago. He was unaware that he was still listed as a board member on The Adam Project Facebook page. He assured Buckeye Firearms Association that he in no way supports The Adam Project and convicted rapist Jerome McCorry’s anti-gun agenda.
[Reply]
So now the question goes back to WHIO. Their excuse for quoting McCorry as a legitimate news source is that he has the “endorsement of respected law enforcement leaders.” He hasn’t had the support of Sheriff Plummer for three years, yet McCorry continues to list Plummer on his website. Isn’t that the kind of thing WHIO’s crack team of news investigators should have discovered long ago?
[Reply]
Mr McCorry’s background and status as a self appointed “pastor” does not present itself as a legitimate advocate of “peace and harmony”. While he may have changed and recanted his old ways, his past simply disqualifies him as an anti crime spokesman. The media was certainly aware of this yet their passion for “gun control” has grossly overridden the mandate of “unbiased” and “accurate” reporting.
The media cannot be trusted to report any news corrrectly and unbiased. Every media employee answers to the owner of their venue and is required to “spin” any report to be in favor of the bosses agenda. Today any reporter who crosses the “boss” is sure of a ticket out the front door. With most of the media today being owned by (I hate to use this word) liberals, virtually all news articles that are written or broadcast will be atuned to the “party line”. Too bad, once the mandate for a reporter was to report who, when, where and how with utmost accuracy. Sadly this is no longer the case.

I had to read this post 4 times just to make sure that I could formulated a calm, clear and professional response. Ok, so it truly bothers me that this man is both Reverend AND Rapist all in one title. But if that isn’t enough, the very person who uses control to victimize others, now wants to remove the rights of the very people who stand to survive if able to properly defend their person without a ton of more regulations to abide by… hypocrite! Punish criminals not civilians. And finally, the failure of not mentioning his ‘other’ title by those other news outlets angers me beyond reason. As a PRO gun advocate, he makes me stand by my position all the more. Nevermind that it is my right (lol). Kuddos to my good mom blogger pal Katie for being such a champion and not backing down!
