Joseph Mengele would be right at home at Planned Baby Butchering

..... People say the press is mostly liberal. That’s by and large true, but it misses quite a lot of nuance in terms of where the press comes down on certain issues. There are people peppered throughout the national press corps with conservative or at least libertarian leanings on a whole host of issues. However, one issue on which the national press – even the ostensibly conservative members – is almost totally monolithic is life issues. Even Charles Krauthammer, while opposed to Roe v. Wade, supports legalized abortion. Ditto John Stossel, and virtually every other prominent token conservative/liberal member of the legacy media.

As a consequence, there is no issue with respect to which the media is more out of step with the American public, which is more or less split down the middle on the issue of abortion generally – and which has been watching with horror (when the media deigns to show them) these videos of doctors discussing the sale of babies’ livers with all the nonchalance of Tony Soprano discussing the price of hookers in New Jersey.

But make no mistake; this campaign by Hounshell and others in the media is not the result of accidentally being out of step with their audience. It is part of a deliberate campaign to convince the American public that the revulsion and horror they feel at what has been uncovered in these videos is not appropriate – that reasonable people shouldn’t look at what’s going on here and think to themselves, “My God, this happens in America? I thought we put an end to this stuff when we defeated Nazi Germany!”
