HATE MONITOR

Report hate in the news.
News agencies engaged in hate speech and bias.

This section of NCPForce! monitors incidents of hate and bias in the media targeted against divorced fathers and other non-custodial parents.

NCPForce! will confront all publications, radio and television news broadcasters who engage the use of the hate speech terms such as "deadbeat dad". The term, similar to a racial slur, creates an environment of hate in which our government feels free to commit the worst rights abuses without fear of public scrutiny. In such an environment, an entire class of individuals -- divorced fathers and other non-custodial parents -- find it all the more difficult to fight for their rights and stay connected with their children in a family system that is already stacked against them.

The news outlets listed below as serious offenders have received a warning from NCPForce! and have been advised of the negative effects of their hate speech policies. We have asked them to abide by the same hate speech standards enacted to protect ethnic and religious minorities. Furthermore, we have also advised these news agencies that they will soon face legal action if they do not desist from engaging in hate speech.

The news outlets listed on our bias watch list are those that have displayed bias without the use of hate speech. These agencies have received a warning from NCPForce! and have been advised that they are being monitored and will be held accountable for future offenses.

The Los Angeles Times:

June 22nd, 2007

An article by staff writer Jack Leonard reporting on the passport seizure of a Chinese business man for child support arrears. The writer used the word "deadbeat" and failed to contact the the man in the article for a reaction. He also failed to contact any mens' rights groups for a reaction, and offered only celebratory quotes from a government agency.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

January 13th, 2005

A article by columnist Mike Seate entitled "Deadbeat Dads Work to Avoid Manhood". The columnist engaged in hate speech through the use of the term "deadbeat dad". The columnist referred to men unable to pay artifically imposed child support orders as "whiners". The columnist never addressed whether not these men were denied visitation rights, nor did he ever address the issue of a man's reproductive rights.

The Associated Press

August 15th, 2007

An article entitled "Price for Passport is Child Payments" concerning passport seizures. The article quoted statements of support for the government program from a Washington state child support official and a custodial mother, yet failed to contact fathers' rights groups for their input. In addition, this imbalanced story listed a number of men with arrearages, but failed to inquire about the nature of these arrearages -- for instance, if the men were even biological fathers, or if they'd withheld support for lack of visitation rights, or if they simply could not pay.

ABOUT NCP FORCE! (Non-Custodial Parents Force)

Our organization is a non-profit, grassroots action organization dedicated to reforming America's family law system.

While we frequently refer to divorced fathers, who overwhelmingly bear the brunt of abuses in the family law system, we champion the cause of all non-custodial parents, be they unwed fathers, non-custodial mothers, grandparents, or assigned parentage fathers (men who are held responsible for parentage despite the fact that they are not biological fathers).

Unlike many other family law websites which claim to help divorced dads and NCP's, we will never ask our visitors for money or donations. We also do not charge for, or offer legal services. Instead we provide a virtual base of operations, forum, and information clearing house for visitors to help themselves free of charge.

Learn more about joining the NCP Force! It's free and no personal questions will be asked unless you wish to share your family law experiences with us.
