“She also highlights the “disturbing implications” Gosnell’s case has for late-term abortions. “It suggests that sometimes, those fetuses are delivered alive,” she writes. “
It also really bring home the point, why is ok to do 5 minutes before the trip down the birth canal, but not 5 minutes after?
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.
How could journalists possibly conspire to black out a story? </sarcasm>People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (Book I, Ch 10)What is the Associated Press newswire? It is a virtual meeting of all major news organizations, which has been in continuous operation since before the Civil War. By now, journalism is nothing but "a conspiracy against the public” to promote complainers (such as journalists) and denigrate people who work to a bottom line and actually do things.
It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary.The rationale for letting the AP get away with Antitrust violation is that the mission of the AP - conserving bandwidth in the transmission of news nationwide - has made it “too big to fail.” That theory is an anachronism in the era of dirt cheap bandwidth. The AP should be sued into oblivion.
Over 10,000 people in San Francisco for the Walk for Life every January. I’ve seen them myself.
Coordinated news blackout.
They come spilling over the hill, 50 people across, for over an hour. I have never in my life seen so many people at one time in one place.
‘Occupy’ got daily, moment by moment coverage for months. 20 people here, 100 people there.
The Trayvon-Zimmerman story was local: a shooting in a faraway town that no one had ever heard of. Chicago alone has a more than a dozen such shootings on an average weekend. The American media are not about news but about agendas. They are toxic. Thank God we no longer need them.
Journalism students obviously don't study logic in school.
I think Donna Brazile is intellectually honest, but primarily exposed only to the GOPe/RINO political class.
Why are we still talking about this when there are men putting t-shirts on unwilling deer?
Seriously, I feel like I am in bizarro world.
I think the information from the trial is very important and needs to be shown, told, explained to everyone possible.
Me, a former tough guy, is sick to my stomach when I read about this monster murderer and the fact that he is probably not the execption.
I would love to hear a reporter ask that SOB Howard Dean if he did anything like this during his tenure as an abortionist.
Appalling!
Gosnell is BLACK and so are most of the women who were out to KILL THEIR CHILDREN....nothing to see here.
Margaret Sanger would be so proud - poor black people being killed, encouraged and supported by white liberals, and the media treating it as a non-event.
