One of the largest public relations firms in Washington D.C. circulated a memo Monday night urging members of the media to refrain from airing damning videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of organs and tissue of aborted fetuses.
Politico is reporting that Planned Parenthood hired SKDKnickerbocker to help manage blowback from the videos, which were produced by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress.
According to Politico, SKDKnickerbocker sent the memo to unnamed “reporters and producers” asking them to blackball the videos — the third of which was released on Tuesday.
“The extremists who entered Planned Parenthood labs under false pretenses violated research protocol, and, worse, violated the privacy of patients involved,” the memo says, according to Politico. “Those patients’ privacy should not be further violated by having this footage shared by the media.”
Politico itself may have gotten SKDKnickerbocker’s message. As flagged by The Federalist, the outlet sent a tweet of its scoop at around noon on Tuesday noting that the PR firm “circulated a memo” to reporters and news producers. That tweet was later deleted, however. Politico did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The videos have created a public relations disaster for the abortion group. The callous nature of the discussions in the videos has led some members of Congress to propose defunding Planned Parenthood.

Today they'll bend over in a heartbeat. Anything for the agenda.
Great plan.
While you’re at it ask all horse drawn-carriages not to distribute the videos and ask the operators of ice-houses not to provide refrigeration services to those media outlets who ignore PP’s requests.
The internet is where most people under 70 now get their news, which explains why the only advertisers for network newscasts are ED and geriatric pharmaceuticals.
Perhaps someone could provide these ass-hats with the mailing address for the internet so they can compose a strongly worded letter?
These aren’t reporters today. They are JINOs. Journalists in name only.
Regardless, it’s all going to come out.
The time has come....and what was hidden will be exposed.
And Rachel will weep over her children
oh, too bad PLanned Parenthood, every video should be released and PLanned Parenthood illegal behavior should be criminally charged with their actions. This PR firm and their other clients should be outed and shamed to drop Planned Parenthood.
Youtube will probably force the videos to be removed. They did it to Michelle Malkin’s videos at times and they’ve done it to others.
The US leftist media needs to be raided under the Rico act.
Do you ever imagine the radical left would seize complete power over the media.
a frightening world we live in.
Why not?
Abortion is the greatest thing in the world, isn’t it? “A woman’s right to choose.” It’s a gigantic winner in the public arena, isn’t it? That’s the message that’s been shoved down our throats since 1973 anyway.
Isn’t their PR firm competent? Have they no talent at all? Can’t they hire a “framing expert” like George Lakoff (rhymes with) to explain how these videos are actually great, they’re “a woman’s choice” in action.
I would think any left-wing bunch of PR BS artists could set it up so this would be a huge win for PP.
Wednesday’s daily special- TWO black baby arms for the price of a white baby liver!
Beyonce said the 1st amendment should be repealed and America listened.
“They are JINOs. Journalists in name only.”
What is worse half the time they need an English class.
Air?
We didn’t air it. it went out over cable
We didn’t air it in context either. It was out of context so what’s the objection?
It does not show what it seems to show.
After all, the selective editing means it must have been reworked, so if the video is wrong, why is it objectionable?
If they can’t find a trending news item on twitter, facebook, or youtube, it isn’t worth covering in the first place.
It is impossible to violate a patient’s privacy when names and/or other specific identifying information are not divulged.
“Planned” Parenthood is really, really afraid. Good. The day of reckoning is at hand.
Fortunately, YouTube does not have a monopoly. See Vimeo, Liveleak, and gloria.tv as examples.

They can't make it disappear.
Our media will ignore them because our media is so unbiased and nonpartisan....
I want to throw a bit of fuel in the fire here and educate & alert people about abortions in “islamic” culture(s).
It happens all the time in “islamic” society -they aren’t back alley either. In Iran there are dr’s. who perform this service regularly albeit word of mouth and if a female has “fooled around” & is no longer a virgin, sewing up someone to restore their virginity is not uncommon.
I wonder what the Islamic Republic of Iran does with their baby parts? Of course, SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!
Wiki seems to have best synopsis on Abortion in Iran.
