Huge Difference Between WashPost Coverage of Anti-War vs. Anti-Abortio
Within one week, the liberal bias of the The Washington Post is made perfectly obvious. On Monday, tens of thousands of protesters emerged on Washington for the March for Life, but the hometown paper put the story on the bottom of page A-10 Tuesday morning.
