When an elderly usher stopped three female journalists from entering an NFL locker room this weekend, they took to Twitter to complain about the mistreatment from the “old, out-of-touch geezer.”
According to the Associated Press, a male usher temporarily prevented three female journalists from entering the Jacksonville Jaguars locker room after Sunday’s game in Indianapolis “because they were women.” Cue: Outrage from the journalists and the media.
Both Media Matters and U.S. News have supported Planned Parenthood – through the same employee.
U.S. News & World Report editor Emily Arrowood recently defended Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards after she testified last Tuesday before the House Oversight Committee in regards to the videos exposing the abortion giant’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. Arrowood’s had plenty of practice defending Planned Parenthood. Before working at U.S. News, Arrowood once did the same at Media Matters.
How ironic. A children’s entertainer who is anti-child.
On Sept. 22, Big Think published a video starring Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” attacking pro-lifers who need to “look at the facts,” when it comes to issues like abortion. The media followed his misleading lead – and applauded Nye for his “science,” from USA Today to Newsweek. Women’s sites also chimed in, like Bustle, which insisted Nye was still “the Science Guy, not the Political Guy.”
Reporters who dare to ask pro-abortion politicians if an unborn baby is a human being are now being called “abortion protesters” -- by the liberal media, that is.
At a press conference Thursday morning, journalist Sam Dorman from MRC’s news division, CNS News, asked Rep. Nancy Pelosi a question about abortion. For daring to challenge the abortion-supporting House Minority Leader, reporter Kelsey Snell of The Washington Post misrepresented the CNS reporter as “an abortion protester” in her headline and story of the event.
Talk about priorities. The broadcast networks have spent more time combined showcasing Cecile Richards’ defense of Planned Parenthood than showing the actual videos themselves.
During their news shows, ABC, NBC and CBS aired 3 minutes of footage from a Tuesday congressional hearing where Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards testified in regards to the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) videos exposing her organization’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. Ironically, those same networks combined spent less than half that time airing the CMP videos.
The broadcast networks showed no interest in congressional hearings of Planned Parenthood – that is, until Cecile Richards stepped in.
Tuesday morning, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards testified before the House Oversight Committee in regards to the videos exposing the abortion giant’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. During their Wednesday morning news shows, ABC, NBC and CBS painted Richards as the victim in their reports.
They must be getting desperate. Planned Parenthood is pulling out all the stops to defend itself, including celebrity backers – from Scarlett Johansson to Lena Dunham.
Tuesday morning, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards testified before the House Oversight Committee in regards to the videos exposing the abortion giant’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. In anticipation, Planned Parenthood published a video of 20 actresses declaring “why they will always stand with Planned Parenthood.”
Funny how sometimes those in the pro-choice movement condemn themselves more than the pro-life movement could ever hope to.
Late Tuesday night, liberal actress and comedian Margaret Cho took to Twitter in a rage against the call to defund Planned Parenthood. After she shared a picture of herself wearing Planned Parenthood apparel she insisted that “God created abortion” and insisted that a “child” was really just a “bunch of cells.”
What a coincidence -- or not. The moment GOP candidate Mike Huckabee began slamming Planned Parenthood at the podium at this year’s Values Voters Summit, an NBC journalist interrupted. So loudly that some in the crowd began whistling and shouting at her to quiet down.
We know because we were there.
Which is “proof” that “you have to be ready for anything in politics”: a curtain falling down or Planned Parenthood activists throwing condoms? The curtain, according to the broadcast news shows.
A local ABC affiliate reported Planned Parenthood protesters threw condoms at Carly Fiorina Saturday while she spoke at an Iowa Hawkeyes tailgate party. Not one of the broadcast news shows from ABC, NBC or CBS batted an eye at the news. Instead, they gasped at another “scary moment” for Fiorina: a curtain falling down on top of her during a speech.
Yes, the head of the Catholic Church is popular. And it’s because of that, that the liberal media smear his image to their own advantage.
The networks herald the “popular pope” where they agree with him, and censor him where they don’t (abortion, marriage). Media outlets from the Washington Post to MSNBC pit him against conservatives to create the illusion that he is one with them: a liberal. A liberal to the extent that he’s “very similar” to President Obama, as ABC insisted.
While Gosnell is locked behind bars, his story isn’t.
Monday night, filmmakers released the trailer for 3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy, a documentary exposing the ghoulish case of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Along with exclusive interviews with detectives, investigators, journalists and victims, the film features the infamous figure himself: Kermit Gosnell. The film hits theaters Nov. 10.
It’s not every day that a politician gets fact-checked by TMZ.
On Monday, TMZ staff mocked 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in their story, “Hillary Clinton Rips GOP for $10 Bill Gaffe … Then Makes Her Own.” Caught on camera, Clinton attacked Republicans (incorrectly, says TMZ) for being unable to “think of one American woman” for the new $10 bill. But when TMZ asked Clinton to name someone, all they heard was “crickets.”
The liberal media are only too happy to call pro-life presidential candidates “extreme.” But they’ll never dare apply the same label to pro-choice candidates.
In a Sept. 20 interview with CBS’ Face the Nation moderator John Dickerson, Hillary Clinton revealed that she wouldn’t support a federal limit on abortion “at any state of pregnancy” in the name of a “woman’s right to choose.” While the 2016 presidential candidate once called the content of the recent videos exposing Planned Parenthood “disturbing,” she dismissed them as “misleadingly edited” to Dickerson.
It was one of the more depressingly ironic exchanges of the 2016 race so far: George Stephanopoulos, whose network refuses to play even one second of the Planned Parenthood videos, interrogating Carly Fiorina about what she said she saw watching them.
National news outlets bowed down to Vox writer Sarah Kliff as an authority on the Planned Parenthood videos because she has watched “all 12 hours.” The problem is, there are really “all 17 hours” of them.
Following Carly Fiorina’s description of the Planned Parenthood videos during Wednesday’s debate, Sarah Kliff wrote for Vox, “Carly Fiorina is wrong about the Planned Parenthood tapes. I know because I watched them.” Her Sept. 17 article spurred a national discussion resulting in conservative journalists rushing to defend Fiorina against the writer who watched “all 12 hours” of the videos. But here’s the thing: she didn’t.
Abortion group NARAL is all for choice, except for when men choose to be pro-life. Then, well, why not poke fun – or sticks – at them?
NARAL Pro-Choice America hosted a Men for Choice Happy Hour Sept. 16 – the same evening as the CNN GOP presidential debate – in Washington, D.C. for “the men in your life who care about reproductive freedom.” During the event, the pro-abortion group tweeted out their gimmick of the evening: piñatas of the GOP candidates.
As more damning video comes out exposing Planned Parenthood’s grisly trade in aborted baby parts, the left is pushing back. This morning there was a red-herring Washington Post article on a PP clinic that doesn’t provide abortions, followed by a House Democrat media event defending PP’s federal subsidies. Given the disgraceful media blackout of the PP issue, we probably shouldn’t expect attending journalists to report that these same politicians received tens of thousands from the abortion giant.
House Democrats sponsored a media availability at the Capitol Sept. 16 “to condemn attempts by House Republicans to cut funds for Planned Parenthood services” with Rep. Becerra, Rep. Lee and Rep. Schakowsky.
Ironically, Planned Parenthood trembles in the face of its most faithful ally: the traditional media.
The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a tenth investigative video Sept. 15, that showed Planned Parenthood executives discussing aborted baby parts for money as a “valid exchange” for a “fair amount of income.” The Planned Parenthood executives admitted terror and distrust of the media – and worried about becoming a public relations or “P.R. issue” that might make headlines. A worry much unfounded, as MRC studies have found.
Instead of watching the news, it’s time for pro-life Americans to be the news – to use social media and word-of-mouth – about Planned Parenthood. Because the networks won’t.
Since July 14, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has released 16 hours, 11 minutes and 35 seconds of footage exposing Planned Parenthood’s practice of harvesting aborted baby parts.* In those past two months, ABC, NBC and CBS have only aired one minute and 13 seconds of these videos (with audio) during their news shows.
