Bloomberg Channels Protest of 'Grisly Language' In Pro-Life Bills
February 14th, 2015 2:26 PM
The Bloomberg headline was shocking: “Grisly Language Propels Kansas Anti-Abortion Bill as U.S. Model.”
Bloomberg journalist Esme E. Deprez was tasked with informing readers about the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Act, which last month was introduced in both Kansas and Oklahoma. The writing experience obviously wasn’t pleasant for her.

After years of virtually always failing to file a print news report on the March for Life, the New York Times this year ran a full half-sentence on the rally of tens of thousands in Washington, in a Jeremy Peters' report that used the march's existence solely to embarrass the Republican Party over its mishandling of an abortion bill.

MSNBC's Carmon: GOP Targets 'Women Who Need Abortions After 20 Weeks'
January 23rd, 2015 5:22 PM
On Thursday's All In With Chris Hayes, MSNBC's Irin Carmon bewailed the apparent inevitability that the Republican-led Congress would reintroduce a proposed ban on abortions after the twentieth week of pregnancy: "I think even if this bill were to come back and it would have a broader rape exception, it would still be an attack on all of the women who need abortions after twenty weeks."

March for ... Rape? Media Skew, Misreport on March for Life
January 23rd, 2015 2:22 PM
Did you know the March for Life was all about rape? Neither did I. But that is the impression one would get if they read the media’s take on the annual pro-life event. Instead of reporting on the tens to hundreds of thousands of pro-life demonstrators at the event this year or even the theme of the 42nd year of the march, “Every life is a gift” the media barely mentioned the actual march and…

On December 28 and 29, The Washington Post highlighted a tiny rally of leftists opposing the name of the Washington Redskins – on the front page of the Metro section twice – both before and after the march, which turned out only about 100 activists.

MSNBC's Melvin to Roe Attorney: 'I Do Appreciate You'
January 22nd, 2015 6:58 PM
When a cable-news host concludes an interview, it's customary to thank his or her guest by saying something along the lines of "I appreciate you being here" or "Thank you for your time."
But when MSNBC fill-in host Craig Melvin wrapped his January 22 Reid Report interview with Sarah Weddington, the pro-abortion rights counsel for "Jane Roe" in 1973, he not only thanked the former Texas state…
MSNBC Catholic? Barnicle Attacks 'A--hole' Cardinal As 'Offensive'
January 19th, 2015 2:17 PM
If the notion of an “MSNBC Catholic” sounds like a complete non sequitur, you could be thinking of Mike Barnicle. In a foam-flecked Daily Beast attack on conservative Catholic Cardinal Raymond Burke -- "Catholicism’s Most Offensive Mansplainer" -- Barnicle and the Beasties highlighted how his “mother the nun” would call Burke an “a**hole” in Gaelic.
Barnicle also uncorked a completely crackpot…

Five years after his 15 minutes of fame, The Washington Post put Florida minister Terry Jones -- described as an "infamous burner of Korans" -- on Page One. His "notoriety" as "America's most brazen offender of Islam" was helping him sell french fries at a mall.
The Washington Post has never used a word like "infamous" or "notorious" or "brazen" to describe late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart,…
Lefty Writer: America’s Not ‘Crazy,’ But It Might Be ‘Dumb’
January 18th, 2015 1:42 PM
Ann Jones has doubts about allegations that America is “crazy,” but adds, “Some people who question me say that the U.S. is ‘paranoid,’ ‘backward,’ ‘behind the times,’ ‘vain,’ ‘greedy,’ ‘self-absorbed,’ or simply ‘dumb.’ Others, more charitably, imply that Americans are merely ‘ill-informed,’ ‘misguided,’ ‘misled,’ or ‘asleep,’ and could still recover sanity. But wherever I travel, the…
