What Media Bias? Part 185

Suppose tens of thousands of people had marched on Washington on Monday to demand federal funding for abortion – do you suppose the MSM would have been all over that? Well, tens of thousands of people did march on Washington this past Monday…

None of the broadcast news programs from Monday evening and Tuesday morning covered the 2011 “March for Life” in Washington, DC, a pro-life rally that reportedly drew at least tens of thousands of attendees.

Neither NBC, ABC, nor CBS gave any coverage Monday to the March for Life on their respective evening news programs; none of the networks covered the story Tuesday morning. The New York Times did not cover the story, as the MRC’s blog “Times Watch” documented. The Washington Post, however, did provide a fair account of the rally in its Metro section…

The Post’s coverage might have been “fair”, but it still wasn’t all that great – 27,000 young people turned out for a pre-rally, youth event and as the kids were only a portion of the marchers, the number of people attending over all probably stretched to at least 100,000. The Post described this throng as “thousands”. What did the MSM cover? Oscar nominations and Oprah finding a long lost sister…

It doesn’t matter, in the end – the movement for Life is gaining ground all over the country. The Culture of Death just cannot shake the nastiness which is inherent in any position calling for legal abortion. People are growing tired of the nauseating filth in this nation – and it is in a lot of ways the women of America who are showing the most courage and determination to clean up the mess. The MSM didn’t cover this because they don’t understand this – all the women the news producers know are in favor of abortion; such women – though they don’t understand this – are also in favor of continuing to be the mere sexual playthings of degraded men…failing to draw the connection between a callous disregard for life and a cavalier attitude towards sexual responsibility. Those who ignored the march represent a dying attitude – those who marched for life represent that good and decent strain in America which is rapidly surging back to power.
