CBS News Ignores March for Life, Attacks Pro-Life Presidential Candidate Instead

On Friday, not only did CBS This Morning skip any coverage of the annual March for Life in Washington D.C., the morning show actually attacked one of the event’s keynote speakers, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, for her “anti-abortion” views.

In a news brief at the top of the 7:30 a.m. ET hour, co-host Norah O’Donnell touted: “Our Des Moines affiliate, KCCI, reports on accusations Carly Fiorina used preschoolers as props during an anti-abortion speech.”

O’Donnell fretted: “The Republican presidential candidate ushered the children to the front of an Iowa campaign appearance. They sat near a picture of an unborn fetus. At least one parent was upset.”

Like CBS, NBC’s Today completely censored the pro-life protest on Friday. However, ABC’s Good Morning America did manage to mention it for a mere 14 seconds, as co-host George Stephanopoulos noted:

And the District of Columbia, too. They’re expected to be hit the hardest this morning [by the blizzard] and that’s where the March for Life is set to take place today, despite the storm warnings. Tens of thousands are expected to protest abortion on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision Roe vs. Wade.

It’s become sadly predictable for the media to ignore the March for Life year after year, but for CBS to actually attack one of the protest’s prominent supporters instead, marks a new low.

The MSM is not only the Country’s greatest threat, but also a threat to nascent life.

Preschoolers? No. They were nonaborted babies.

They attacked Fiorina? I bet she was doing the happy dance for someone even mentioning her name, she’s polling at what, maybe 5%?

I foresee most of the Lame Stream Media going the way of Air America. Those that survive will have learned that catering to the liberal agenda is a bad business model.

Fair enough. FNC is often the exception.

What is the best estimate of the number of participants in this year’s March for Life?

O’Donnell doesn’t do the Lord’s work. She attacks the people who do.

A little truth in advertisement. This was not reported (that I know of) on the Lame Stream Media:
