S'ok!

“It’s been a basic tenet of journalism ... that the reporter’s ideology (has) to be suppressed and submerged, so the reader has absolute confidence that what he or she is reading is not coloured by previous views,” he said.

Some reporter's just can't contain their enthusiasm for "abortion rights".

[the lone wolf]

Am I reading this right, that she was reprimanded in 2006 for a protest that she was involved in in 1989?

Nope, no bias here...

[Lexinom]

And you even get the right to choose whether or not to try to have babies.

[Southack]

Wow! NY Slimes reporters with personal agendas. Who woulda thunk it?!

Still, it's good to call them on it.

[Pharmboy]

Here's that paragon of all that is holy in American journalism...someone dedicated to truth and objectivity in reporting:

Linda Greenhouse

It's also not bad for crumping up and starting the fire in the woodstove.

Just seeing a copy of the NYT makes my skin crawl.

**Linda Greenhouse**

Linda, we are praying for your conversion as a pro-choice, pro-killer, anti-baby, anti-life person.

[Salvation]

I bet she's glad her mother didn't choose abortion!

Victoria,

If you have a fireplace, PLEASE be mindful that burning The New York Times indoors requires extra caution and increased ventilation, as the bias dioxide gases, BS₃O₂ emitted are extremely toxic and even low levels of inhalation can cause short term loss of honesty humanity and common sense. And it just plain stinks really bad.

Thanks for the ping and the giggle on your comment!

Sunday, October 1, is the National Life Chain - hope all will find their local gathering place!

Why would Linda Greenhouse need an abortion? It's not as though anybody would actually breed with that thing.

[Mr. Silverback]

This is why I don't do political coverage for my newspaper. I'm sure I could suppress my ideology, but why would I want to when the opposition is full of vicious baby-killers like her?

[wagglebee]

The New York Slimes or any other paper is free to pursue their agenda as much as they want, as long as it is confined to the editorial section!

[Mr. Silverback]

Yep, women always have the freedom to choose to reproduce or not. This freedom is only taken away if they are raped. The problem is, one can't have anywhere quite as much fun if one exercises that choice in a 100% effective manner.

[wagglebee]

I've done a great deal of research on this subject and the number of pregnancies that occur as the result of rape are so low, they are almost nonexistent. This is a favorite topic of the pro-death crowd, but the simple fact is that only a couple thousand abortions per year are performed on women who became pregnant as the result of rape.

[Mr. Silverback]

GREAT POST!

[Mr. Silverback]

Greenhouse is just continuing in the tradition of Anna "have I mentioned abortion lately" Quinlan who wrote ad nauseum about abortion "rights". Quinlan even criticized Mo Dowd for not writing about abortion "rights" enough.

Libs can't decide what they want. When I wrote about Planned Parenthood's line of Christmas cards last year, one pro-abortion reader wrote in to ask why I would bring up such a heavy subject at Christmas time. Oh wait, I was criticizing the Christmas Cards, so I guess she was being consistent after all. :)

Translation: we can't allow reporters to remove all doubt that they are biased by opening their mouths. Best to keep one's biases under wraps.
