Liberal commentator: we ‘made a decision’ not to cover Gosnell to protect abortion
A left-wing media commentator has said what many pro-life activists long believed: that an overwhelmingly liberal media consciously chose not to cover the trial of Kermit Gosnell, because they feared it would undermine their political stance on abortion.
“For what it’s worth, I do think that those of us on the Left have made a decision not to cover this trial because we worry that it’ll compromise abortion rights,” said Marc Lamont Hill, a Columbia University professor known for his frequent appearance on Fox News. “Whether you agree with abortion or not, I do think there’s a direct connection between the media’s failure to cover this and our own political commitments on the Left.”
Hill said he thought the captivity of media coverage to a “progressive” political agenda was a negative development but one that may be insurmountable.
“I think it’s a bad idea,” he said of the blackout. “I think it’s dangerous, but I think that’s the way it is.”
