This was pure butchery and the media has avoided it, for obvious reasons.
.
But they really didn't. They covered it fairly heavily when it happened three years ago, then the judge slapped a gag order on all sides while waiting for trial.
It should also be pointed out that the Wingnut Media didn't do any stories on it either. Until they started complaining the MSM wasn't covering it to their satisfaction.
Maybe because it might spark a conversation of why poor people get medical practioners of Gosnell's "caliber".
Joe, the trial began on March 18th, and that's when so many of the horrific details of this case came out. The national media, knowing and fearing that the details of the case might (and probably would) paint abortion in a bad light, has purposely avoided covering it to any degree.
And the details are truly horrific. There is zero excuse, especially in these days of sensationalism, for the media to not have covered this story. The reason for their avoidance is obvious. I strongly suspect that I could find thousands of inert stories the "media" has chosen to cover in the last month that would not be as interesting as this horror story.
I'd be considered pro-choice. But I'm not going to play intellectually dishonest games, like the press is, just to support my position. "This story just isn't newsworthy enough to make it on air." Bullshit. What this guy did to babies, er, fetuses, er, innocent human life is more than newsworthy.
