It deflects all critical examination of what we plainly see in front of us. The Gosnell lens is named for Kermit Gosnell, who is on trial in Philadelphia for the murder of seven infants born alive and one mother. His alleged victims are all poor, mostly minority. Normally, this kind of trial\u2014with plenty of gore\u2014would be a major news story. After all, if it bleeds, it leads, right? Not this time.<\/p>\n<p>Gosnell is an abortionist, and we have known for decades that when abortion is in the picture, all bets are off. The major news media are pro-abortion. Not just \u201cpro-choice,\u201d but pro-abortion. They agree in the main with Lawrence Lader, who founded NARAL Pro-Choice America: \u201cAbortion is central to everything in life and how we want to live it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldmag.com\/2013\/04\/the_media_and_president_obama_s_view_through_a_gosnell_lens\/page1\" target=\"_blank\">Read more&#8230; (opens in a new window) <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WORLD | The media and President Obama\u2019s view through a Gosnell lens | Ken Blackwell | April 16, 2013.
