Generic Structure Clauses
Title Glambert out
Beat-Her-Down In?
Thesis America
’s priorities seem to be ass backwards Although Adam Lambert was deemed too controversial for Good
Morning America, Chris Brown sure isnt
Argument 1 The singer, who pled guilty to beating Rihanna, will do a taped tell-
all interview with Robin Roberts over the incident, while Glamberts harmless gay kiss was too much for the American
public And rightfully so,
many gay activists and feminists are furious over the decision
Argument 2 The network is giving a mixed message
— that it doesnt trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show
and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was
convicted of felony assault, said an ABC source.
Chris Browns interview was booked way before Adam Lambert took to the stage.
It is to give him a chance to respond to Rihannas interview. The possibility of him performing a song will be worked out next
week. WTF?
Hes gonna perform??
Argument 3 The network stands by their claims that canceling Adams GMA
appearance had nothing to do with his sexual orientation BULLSHIT
