Wow. A baby giraffe is killed in an accident, and it’s huge news.

But the Planned Parenthood story is pushed to the end, if reported on at all in the MSM.

Media bias is not only about how many news people are liberal and give liberal slant to their stories. The bias is also about which stories they push, and which ones they ignore.

Off topic, but Trayvon Martin did not become national news until a month after that shooting happened. It became national news because black activists pushed the story, were given sympathetic coverage by people such as Al Sharpton on his show, and then eventually the mainstream media nationwide picked it up. What was a one day local story in Sanford Florida was pushed and pushed until it was deemed to be a national story.

And then from there, the Florida governor appointed a special prosecutor to indict Zimmerman. The local DA had closed the case. But due to media pressures, it was reopened.
