More fun with quotation marks: This is from a CNN.com report on Congress's vote to ban partial-birth abortion, or what journalists call "a procedure critics call 'partial-birth abortion' ": "I applaud the Senate for joining the House in passing the ban on 'partial-birth abortion,' " Bush said in a written statement. "This is very important legislation that will end an abhorrent practice and continue to build a culture of life in America. I look forward to signing it into law." Now, here's what Bush actually said in his written statement: I applaud the Senate for joining the House in passing the ban on partial-birth abortion. This is very important legislation that will end an abhorrent practice and continue to build a culture of life in America. I look forward to signing it into law. See the difference? CNN added scare quotes around "partial-birth abortion" in the president's written statement. No doubt the network would claim this is a constitutionally protected choice, a private matter between a quote and its doctorer. opinionjournal.com
