By now we have all heard the lame excuses the media has proffered, if they bothered to proffer one at all, for their media blackout on the Gosnell aborto-murder trial.
So imagine something for a second. Imagine Gosnell, a man responsible for the care of women as part of his duties as licensed by the state. Imagine that man abused those women and debased those women and killed their infants while the state turned a blind eye.
Now imagine that Gosnell was the Rev. Gosnell, a Christian minister. Now imagine those babies didn’t die as part of failed abortions, the sacrament of the left, but rather those babies were murdered during some religious sacrament.
Simply, imagine Kermit Gosnell was a Minister of God instead of a Minister of state sanctioned death, would this trial be just a local crime story? Would the media struggle to find a relevant angle if they cared at all?
To the media, its not the body count that matters but who does the killing.

Amen. We might also note one of Yahoo's front page news stories on April 15th, which blamed the pro-life movement for the murders! I guess the poor man was just FORCED into this because of violent, evil, mean people trying to protect the innocent.

The double standards abound. But I've not heard that one. Seems like the deregulation of clinics cited by PP and the like is really hurting women. Taken together the bulk of the whole reproductive aspect of the "war on women" was mostly waged by the leftists. I'm not a supporter, but safe and legal are long forgotten sentiments of the pro abortion movement. Now it's drug them up with carcinogens to suppress their biology. Separate them from helpful parental decision making. Sexualization and obnjectify them from an early age. If putting women at risk results in consequences. Surgically and emotionally do what's necessary after that, but don't burden men. they have become wimpy and useless. And if any of this gets out people will see the fallacy our our social reengineering and ideology so lets keep the results on the hush hush.

"To the media, its not the body count that matters but who does the killing."
But that's how it has been for a long time. Liberals have always cobbled together extenuating circumstances for why a person should not be held responsible for a crime committed. All part and parcel of the lack of personal responsibility for anything nowadays. Nothing new. And it's why I won't go near Facebook right now – I don't want to see how my moral relativistic friend is handling the Boston Marathon terror. The body count stopped mattering a few decades ago.

From the unchangeable Preamble to the Constitution for the United States of America comes this purpose of state: "and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our (constitutional) posterty." all generations to come…now that 55 million have been aborted. Any one who repudiates our founding principles "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…" repudiates his citizenship in America and his soul in heaven.

The MSM is one big Ideological propaganda machine – it determines what you should know and not know, what you should think and believe. There is almost no independent, impartial journalism in Big Media.
