I have abandoned my Flying Monkeys thread due to the incessant rantings of a lunatic who has taken up residence there. So this will my new home. And still not one single word of concern or sympathy for the murdered babies. A procedure Obama voted to allow while a state Senator in Illinois. Gosh, why would the "corporate media" almost totally black out a story as dramatic as this? The New York Times has finally produced a second news story on the murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell--almost a month after its other story, which briefly recapped the trial's first day. Like the Times's first story, which we cited in yesterday's column, this one appears deep inside the paper (on page A12). You almost get the impression the Times doesn't want to be there. More than almost: The paper's editors make it explicit with their headline: "Online Furor Draws Press to Abortion Doctor's Trial." What an amazing headline that is. The editors of the New York Times declare that they're covering the trial under protest, yielding their news judgment to an angry online mob. It's probably the most honest thing they've ever published. (As an aside, the "online furor" was sparked by a Kirsten Powers op-ed in USA Today. Although USA Today is a website, it is also a newspaper with a circulation of 1.8 million, second only to The Wall Street Journal.) http://online.wsj.co...IDDLETopOpinion
