Secular progressive bias in the media was never more evident than in
the past few weeks with the difference in coverage of two major news
stories — the temporary cutoff of funds from the Susan G. Komen
Foundation to Planned Parenthood and the ultimatum from the Obama
administration that the Catholic Church and its institutions had a year
to find a way to violate their consciences and beliefs and provide
contraceptive services as mandated by ObamaCare.
A study by the Media Research Center (MRC) shows that in the first 60
hours after the Feb. 1 announcement that Komen was cutting off funding
to Planned Parenthood, no fewer than 13 major stories appeared on CBS,
NBC and ABC morning and evening news shows with 35 clips and quotes
coming from supporters or representatives of Planned Parenthood and only
11 from Komen representatives or supporters.
By contrast, MRC notes, when the Obama administration announced on
Jan. 20 that it was giving religious institutions one year to comply
with a mandate for coverage of sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs
and contraception in their health plans without a co-pay, it took CBS 10
days to air one news brief on the controversy while NBC and ABC said
nothing for two weeks.
All the more reason to turn off your TV and pray at 1625 Opdyke.
