America’s anchors have spoken: the shooting of one lion vastly outweighs the trafficking of baby parts by a taxpayer-funded abortion giant.
In other words, the broadcast news shows spent more time in one day on Cecil the Lion than they did on the Planned Parenthood videos in two weeks.
The three broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS censored the third video released Tuesday by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) exposing Planned Parenthood’s practice of harvesting aborted baby parts -- censored it at Planned Parenthood’s urging. But the news shows did find more than 14 minutes for a more important story: the “outrage” over the shooting of Cecil, a famed African lion, by an American dentist.
Tuesday, the networks spent 5 minutes, 44 seconds during their evening news shows on Cecil -- and that’s not even counting the teasers. Wednesday morning, ABC, NBC and CBS lamented over the lion for 8 minutes, 17 seconds.
But they couldn’t do the same for a story of babies “picked” apart by tweezers.

You Freepers need to understand that shooting an old lion is newsworthy ... murdering millions of babies and harvesting their body parts, not so much!
They are so happy to have headlines to get them off the hook
No surprise at all...and waiting for the MSM to figure out some Trump connection to the lion killing.
The dentist probably played at one of Trump’s golf courses some time in his life, right?
You might want to call Newsbusters and tell them to “give it a rest”.
It's as if Anchorman Ron Burgundy was a documentary and not a comedy satire.
this is so sick it’s a amazing! It’s one dude killing one lion on his own! Sorry, the lion’s dead, but what a non-story!
This is why they need to be smashed to bits, burned to the ground, and their ashes scattered.
They are the primary cause of all other problems the US is facing.
Same way here. If there is a fire the story often leads with how many animals were lost or displaced.
I have seen more people stop for a stray or injured dog on the highway and risk their lives chasing them around than for human accident victims.

MSM already has tied Trump to this story:his sons are big game hunters. He responded to TMZ about it saying they are good at it but he personally doesn’t understand why they like it.

Wow amazing....they have already done it...luckily Trump now seems 10 feet tall and bulletproof.
I must be sick because that made me laugh.
Lions are many and reproduce quickly. Who cares about a dead lion? They die all the time one way or another. People & media seem to care more about the lion than about people murdered by the moozlums or than about murdered babies having their parts sold for profit. Such a malignant world currently.
Squirrel!
(....okay, it was a lion, so...)
REALLY BIG SQUIRREL!!
It’s the bizarro moral scenario created by the MSM.
The 23-year-old Liberian immigrant was charged with seven counts involving a 7-year-old girl, including rape and molestation, and two counts of molesting an 18-month-old toddler. Both girls were his relatives.
This was going on the same time Michael Vick was making the news and such for killing dogs. All the DC/MD news were more concerned about how some dude treated animals instead of those poor little girls.
The MSM are all losers.
Yeah, I hear they are like deer in Ohio, getting hit by cars, trucks, etc. What a nuisance animal.
