MSM Ignores 'March for Life'
In this day and age where the killing of unborn children is unabashedly celebrated (applause for Roe v. Wade decision on its anniversary) and even honored (which is even more disgusting given the recent arrest of Kermit the Killer) the media on Monday night and Tuesday morning showed this is indeed the case as all three news networks (not including FOX) totally ignored the "March for Life" in Washington, DC where hundreds of thousands took to the streets.
Only CNN and FOX mentioned the event. Alas, CNN chose to "report" on the story by giving it a brief mention on its seven p.m. eastern hour. Anchor John King mentioned it in passing, omitting crowd numbers and footage from the march and downplaying the numbers as only in the "thousands."
Why would any news network who claim to be objective ignore such a monumental story, considering the fact how liberal networks like MSNBC aired hour-long specials after the murder of abortionist, George Tiller:
“If it bleeds, it leads.” Remember that mantra to explain the TV networks’ fascination with gory visuals? And yet these same networks could barely touch this story, even with its jaw-dropping ratings potential. “CBS Evening News” had one story, NBC's "Today" "offered 50 vague words, and ABC couldn’t be bothered. Rachel Maddow anchored an entire hour-long special on the shooting death of abortionist George Tiller, but a Nexis search finds no one on MSNBC could even whisper the name of Kermit Gosnell. (CNN and Fox News each followed the story for a few days.)
