Philly-area columnist: CNN journo said ‘small staff’ means he can’t send reporter to cover Gosnell trial

Unreal.

J.D. Mullane is the Bucks County Courier Times columnist who took the photo of the empty rows of media seating at the Kermit Gosnell trial. His column titled “ What I saw at the Gosnell trial” is a must-read.

According to Mullane, someone from CNN called to question the accuracy of his courtroom photo. Mullane’s pitch-perfect response was boom-worthy: “Go to Philly & see.” That’s when he says he was told a “small staff” made sending a reporter impossible.

It took an incredible social media push by online activists to shame the national media into covering the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell. CNN’s Jake Tapper, Erin Burnett and Anderson Cooper devoted segments to the Gosnell trial on Friday. But will CNN have a reporter in the courtroom on Monday?

A CNN Radio correspondent reached out to Mullane via Twitter to question the “purportedly” empty seats in the Philly courtroom.

>> How about something more objective?

I've read that article you linked and I cannot IMAGINE a more biased article on this subject.

When I posted the video, I didn't mean for you to READ the screen. You were supposed to listen to Barack Obama's own words. I didn't read the screen and I don't give a shit what it says.

Maybe you ought listen to the video instead of watching it, if you want to know the facts. That's why I'm objective and you're not.
