Meanwhile Donna Brazile is on twitter trying to tell Michelle Malkin that not even conservatives cared about Gosnell until today.

I found the first FR thread posted with the keyword Gosnell is in January of 2010.

“Worse, it hints at what we might be doing inside the womb to ensure that the other ones aren’t.”

Hints?
Might be doing inside the womb????

Now I think is a good time to publicly ask what other issues they didn’t think the American public didn’t need to know.

The truth is that most of us tend to be less interested in sick-making stories—if the sick-making was done by ‘our side.
***She admits that it’s due to her own idealogy and bias.

Let me help here.

It’s hard to believe these days, but the media will TOTALLY BLACKOUT stories that damage their agenda. I remember, specifically, in 1992, when they almost completely blacked out the largest organized protest since Vietnam...maybe even larger than Vietnam. That was the Operation Rescue protests that essentially shut down Wichita, Kansas (look up Summer of Mercy).

During that time, I was in Los Angeles, reading the LA Time. Just about every day, they would print 1 paragraph about the protests, noting that something like 168 people were arrested - THAT DAY ALONE. Nothing on radio, nothing on television. I was freaking out because I know that if 3 people are arrested in an anti-war rally, it makes headlines around the country. I was watching a COORDINATED media blackout at work, and I’ll never forget it.

What they are doing here is NOTHING NEW.

“pro-choice” = pro death

The “pro choice” part took place before conception in the womb.

After that it is murder.

I cover policy for the Washington Post, not local crime.

One of these days, she's going to need a doctor, only to be told, "I work on regular patients, not people who masquerade as 'journalists' and grind out propaganda for mass murderers."

The MSM does seem to be trying to outdo Yellow Journalism that was massively in control of the media at the turn of the 20th Century.

Yellow Journalism didn’t work out so well and neither will Progressive Journalism. The pendulum always swings.

In Dallas, back about thirty years ago, a pro-lifer collected over 900 babies bodies she found in the trash behind an abortion clinic.

She contacted one of the local TV stations and they sent out a reporter and a cameraman.

The reporter did a great job and the cameraman captured many of the babies bodies as the pro-lifer opened up trash bags exposing the babies bodies.

Well, they took all the film back to the station and began to edit it all for broadcast.

Gathered inside the editing room were a lot of the staff reporters and since it was a sensational topic everyone took a look at the film.

The pro-lifer who found the babies bodies was told by the reporter that everyone in the editing room, whether they were pro-life or not, were nauseated by what they saw.

“It suggests that sometimes, those fetuses are delivered alive,” she writes.

Sigh. They are alive before they are delivered too. What does delivery have to do with anything? Inside. Outside. What is done is always horrific. We're up above 50 million dead children. But most of the time, it's pretty much OK -- is that the party line?

remember when they buried the Juanita Broaddrick/Julie Myers interview about brutally forced rape during bubba’s impeachment trial?

Thanks Morgana.
"The MSM [mainstream media] has barely covered a story that could plausibly be named ‘The Trial of the Century'. And that demands explanation. So I'll tell you why I haven't covered it,” writes Megan McArdle at the Daily Beast... “To start, it makes me ill. I haven't been able to bring myself to read the grand jury inquiry. I am someone who cringes when I hear a description of a sprained ankle... But I understand why my readers suspect me, and other pro-choice mainstream journalists, of being selective -- of not wanting to cover the story because it showcased the ugliest possibilities of abortion rights. The truth is that most of us tend to be less interested in sick-making stories -- if the sick-making was done by ‘our side.’"
...and then proceeds to mention nothing about the acts performed, only that Kermit harmed women.
