He brutally killed unborn babies by jamming medical scissors in the back of their necks, but the major network television stations have engaged in a blackout of coverage of his murder trial.
To response, 20 prominent leaders of the conservative movement have joined Media Research Center President Brent Bozell in demanding the broadcast networks stop censoring coverage. They are also upset at the lack of coverage of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates lobbyist who testified in favor of allowing the killing of children who survive botched abortions.
MRC’s Culture and Media Institute finds that ABC, CBS, and NBC have completely censored both of these outrageous stories:
Since the Gosnell trial began three weeks ago, ABC, CBS, and NBC have given the story ZERO seconds of coverage on either their morning or evening news shows. They have not covered Gosnell once since his arrest in January 2011, and even then, only CBS did so.
After the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates’ testimony in favor of post-birth abortions surfaced on March 29, ABC, CBS, and NBC have committed ZERO seconds of coverage on either of their morning or evening news shows.
ABC, CBS, and NBC have each covered the new abortion laws in North Dakota and Arkansas, ominously describing them as the “most restrictive” in the nation.
They responded to these details with the following statement:
“The Kermit Gosnell case, in which his abortion clinic has been described as a ‘House of Horrors,’ could have been plucked from the fever dream of Hollywood’s most depraved slasher film writer, and yet ABC, CBS, and NBC have completely censored it out of the news. The Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates’ on-the-record position in support of murdering living children is staggering in its radicalism, and yet ABC, CBS, and NBC have completely censored it out of the news.
“But the new pro-life laws in North Dakota and Arkansas? They draw a critical eye from the broadcast networks.
“The horrific excesses of the abortion industry – exemplified by Gosnell and Planned Parenthood – are major, national news stories any way you look at them. But the pro-abortion liberal media are determined to hide them from the public. The media have a solemn duty to the American people to report the news, not just news that helps the positions they support. It’s unprofessional, it’s disgusting, and it’s inhuman.
“If the pro-life movement were involved in this type of insanity, there would be wall-to-wall coverage from every major news outlet. This cover-up is a national disgrace.”
The following conservative leaders signed the collective statement condemning the media blackout.

If the media were to slip up and let the American people know that a Women’s choice involves killing a baby, their agenda and Planned Parenthood’s massive profits might be at serious risk.
If only the truth got out that would be the end of abortion peroid.
What did they do...send a strongly worded letter?
Planned Parenthood’s massive profits
****************************
Their profits would be $0 except for gov’t contracts and grants .... Instead of bitching about the networks being biased (like that’s news!) why isn’t anyone on our side putting PP execs in prison for embezzling multi-millions of dollars in California alone...
What course of action would you recommend?

I’d move massive military resources to the area.
We probably won’t get the “true” story until Robert Redford decides to glorify it in a movie as he has the Weather Underground in his upcoming movie. (Heavy sarcasm)
