"SURVEYS SHOW U.S. MEDIA FOUND BIASED TOWARD ABORTION "RIGHTS"

"Favorably Biased Toward "Choice" Indicates Bias To Pro-Abortion Candidates"

Happy New Year, What a Country!

So much privilege and opportunity, comparatively speaking, and so much subversion. 

How unfortunate that the dimly desperate yet have to rely on the killing of innocent babies to gain political power, in one of the so-called "greatest lands on Earth."

Like a cancer, that subversion is a stronghold that spreads and permeates the thoughts of the uninformed and unaware, influenced big time by the nation's media; where 'fair and balanced', evidently does not exist in any form of media, despite the hype. 

Television is probably more vulnerable to charges of bias on abortion than are newspapers and magazines. The time constraints and ratings chase intrinsic to most television news programs often lead to the kind of superficiality and sensationalism that result in bias. In addition, says Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, the "insular culture that produces network newscasts" create an "implicit bias (that) is more pervasive . . . than in the print media."

Additionally, in checking out the campaign polls, the "Real Clear" polls before the Iowa Caucuses, which could sway the undecided toward the "frontrunners", scrambled just before the vote that would belie their predictions, in a startling contrast to the previous in quite different, new, "Real Poll' numbers.

And watch those states that say they're not ready for the 2008 elections due to systematic and equipment deficiencies, for possible voter fraud.

The American voter is subject to being duped and manipulated.

"EVIDENCE IN TWO MAJOR MEDIA STUDIES" .
NEWS:
Los Angeles Times - Most major newspapers support abortion rights on their editorial pages, and two major media studies have shown that 80% to 90% of U.S. journalists personally favor abortion rights. 

Moreover, some reporters have participated in a big abortion rights march in Washington, and the American Newspaper Guild, the union that represents news and editorial employees at many major papers, had officially endorsed "freedom of choice in abortion decisions." 

A comprehensive Times study of major newspaper, television and news magazine coverage, including more than 100 interviews with journalists and with activists on both sides of the abortion debate, confirmed that this bias often exists.

On an issue as emotional as abortion, some combatants on each side expect reporters to allow their personal beliefs to take precedence over their professional obligation to be fair and impartial.

Although reporters (and editors) insist they don't let that happen, abortion opponents are equally insistent that media bias manifests itself, in print and on the air, almost daily.

Presently, careful examination of stories published and broadcast reveals scores of examples, large and small, that can only be characterized as unfair to the opponents of abortion, either in content, tone, choice of language or prominence of play.

The news media consistently uses language and images that frame the entire abortion debate in terms that implicitly favor abortion-rights advocates.

Abortion-rights advocates are often quoted more frequently and characterized more favorably than are abortion opponents.

Events and issues favorable to abortion opponents are sometimes ignored or given minimal attention by the media.

Many news organizations have given more prominent play to stories on rallies and electoral and legislative victories by abortion-rights advocates than to stories on rallies and electoral and legislative victories by abortion rights opponents.

The Media Research Center has documented numerous instances of media bias against the pro-life movement and pro-life politicians. 

Columns of commentary favoring abortion rights outnumber those opposing abortion by a margin of more than 2 to 1 on the op-ed pages of most of the nation's major daily newspapers.

Newspaper editorial writers and columnists alike, long sensitive to violations of First Amendment rights and other civil liberties in cases involving minority and anti-war protests, have largely ignored these questions when Operation Rescue and other abortion opponents have raised them.
