March for Life Proves Media Bias Again

March for Life Proves Media Bias Again

Friday, January 27, 2017 saw thousands gather at the Washington Monument for the 44th Annual March for Life. Would the mainstream media cover the March for Life fairly and accurately? Or, would the media prove their bias against the Pro-Life movement yet again? Duh! Of course they would wave the bias flag.

I personally took one for the Victory Girls team and watched the first ten minutes of ABC News with David Muir. He spent seven minutes on President Donald Trump, British PM Theresa May, NATO, Extreme Vetting and torture. Muir spent about two (2) minutes on the March for Life with correspondent Mary Bruce. After mentioning the historic speech by VP Mike Pence and the Tweet from President Trump. Mary Bruce talked to a Planned Parenthood representative about the “Anti-Abortion March”. Then, back to thumping Trump. I had to turn it off. ABC would claim they are fair and balanced. I saw bias, but we will come back to that.

Katie Yoder over at NewsBusters has written a post about how the legacy or mainstream media covered the “Women’s March” 129 times more than they have historically covered the March for Life. No bias there, right?

Before the women’s march even happened, the network news shows had devoted nearly 23 minutes to the event.

The networks first advertised the women’s march this year beginning on Jan. 6. NBC Today host Matt Lauer commented on an “embarrassing mistake” by the Washington Post’s Express for placing the male symbol on its cover for the women’s march.

By Jan. 19, all three networks had covered the women’s march, with NBC correspondent Stephanie Gosk predicting a “sea of pink” (a reference to women marchers planning to wear pink “pussy hats” to protest President Donald Trump) at the march during Nightly News.

Even up until Tuesday morning, CBS covered the march by playing clips of late-night hosts talking about the protest during This Morning’s “eye openers.”
