Shocker: All Three Network Morning "News' Shows Embargo Gosnell Story
Time Gives Spin a Try; Abortion Should Be Safe, Legal, and Rarely Mentioned In a Negative Headline

They don't want you deriving the wrong conclusions from the facts so they'll just have to keep the facts from you, too.

They have become rather open about being Stalinist in this fashion. They used to slant stories; now, when they realize a story would be too difficult to slant, they simply refuse to cover it at all.

Time Is Game, Though: Hey, they cover the story not as politics and not as front-page material -- no way -- but as an aside in their "HealthLand" blog, as if this is a health issue and not, say, a grand jury's indictment of an entire liberal political establishment.

That's where they cover the story. Just in "HealthLand." I looked in this blog for a reference to the full story which must, I thought, be found somewhere in Time; but no, no link to Time. This blogger has to recount the story itself-- as a "health" issue, of course.

Her headline? She's game to slant it:

Why the Pa. Abortion Doc's Case Is About Poverty, Not Roe v. Wade

Ah, the old "women, minorities most hurt" gambit. Well played.

Well, it is about poverty, too, but it is mostly, per the grand ury's report, about a political and medical culture which decided to not investigate why women kept showing up in other hospital's emergency rooms almost dead, and they made that decision -- again, per the grand jury report -- based upon pro-abortion politics and not wishing to give a storyline to the pro-life right.

They figured a bunch of murders and a negligent death and several more near negligent deaths were a small price to pay for keeping abortion safe, legal, and rarely mentioned in a negative headline.

True, the fact that minority women and minority children were largely being murdered in this fashion made it an easier call; but to say this wasn't about abortion is to, well, join the reality-based community in its continued flight from reality.

Note to Time: This isn't a "health" story. It's a murder story, and in fact a murder story in which high government officals have "lawyered up" (quoting the grand jury) rather than answer questions about their complicity in the murders.

So here is, finally, a real story about mass-murder directly caused by the negligence and malice of high public officials, and of course the Motherfucking Media takes no interest.

Except as a "health" story. Oh, those poor minority women forced to seek their illegal late-term abortions from shabby, unprofessional backroom illegal abortiionists, rather than from the professional, careful illegal late-term abortionists that white girls have access to.
