Say It Ain't So Already

Does the “Liberal Media” Censor Coverage of Pro-Life Rallies?

I came across this article this morning at the NewAmerican.com:  Media Censorship of Pro-Life Rallies Backfiring.  It talks about the lack of media coverage of a pro-life rally held last Friday in Washington, D.C. that was attended by “hundreds and thousands of pro-life demonstrators.”  It claims the “censorship” is backfiring because participants are filming demonstrations themselves and posting the video on YouTube.  Fair point, but I don’t think the pro-lifers are being signled out for special censorship.   I just think they’re running into the same wall many of us have run into:  the media tends not to cover demonstrations at all, no matter the cause.

If there’s violence, they’ll drop everything and go to it.  But peaceful rallies against abortion or, say, a war?  No.  They aren’t interested.   It’s intentional:  they don’t want to give us any power because if we have power we might upset the corporate apple cart.
