Press Suddenly Decides It Does Want to Cover Local Crime Stories
— Ace

A so-called "citizen filibuster" succeeded last night when abortion supporters blocked Texas from outlawing post-20th-week abortions by hooting the legislative session into disorder. Rich Perry has called for the legislature to reconvene on July 1st.

I didn't see the coverage, but apparently the media was fawning over the "citizen filibusterers."

Here's the most incredible example imaginable -- something that proves a profound bias. You'll remember previously that Sarah Kliff, who covers abortion policy for the Washington Post, explained that she wasn't covering the Gosnell story because she doesn't cover "local crime stories."

Well, here's how she gushed over a pro-choice legislator's filibuster and the "citizen filibuster" that shut the house down:

Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can't Stop Talking.

Ah. Not merely a "local crime story" about some disorderly conduct at a state house, then?

How long will the media continuing lying directly to our faces even as they claim for themselves special status as "truth tellers"?

From Hot Air, a flashback to this two part analsys by long-time newspaperman Carl Cannon on the press' most sacred of sacred cows, abortion. It's the second part that is directly on this subject, while the first part is about media disdain for religion and the religious generally.

Mollie Hemingway continues along these lines by exposing the AP's reliable Narrative Template for abortion stories.

37 Twice on the hourly radio news today I heard what happened at the statehouse in Austin described merely as "a filibuster". In reality it was a mob scene, very anti-democratic and very ill-liberal. It was naked thuggery. The storming of the statehouse in Wisconsin was the same kind of thing. This sort of thing should trouble the heart of decent men everywhere. Yet the heart of an abortionist cannot be troubled. They have murdered their conscience.

He had to settle for freeing the slaves instead. Not bad, but no third-trimester abortion rights, that's for sure. But you get the great civil rights moments you get.

My brother was born in 1957 in the 27th week of gestation and lived 50 fucking years, (pancreatic cancer took him in '06.) That was 1957 for christsakes! How can anyone in this day and age support murdering an infant with all our technology after the 20th week of gestation. This is fucking bullshit and she should be ostracized like the whore she is. Fuck this! Even the most blue states will charge a person who murdered a pregnant woman with killing the unborn infant. What fucking planet are we living on?

Yup, me neither. I knew we were pretty much done for when TFG got is Prog/Com Pinko ass elected by a bunch of ignorant sheeple, but the speed at which our decline has happened is breathtaking.

We've managed to have nearly every single right and freedom we ever had removed right before our very eyes. Our Founders are spinning in their graves at what we've allowed to happen to us. Our enemies are emboldened as never before and no one, not one single solitary person seems to be able to stand up to them. I even doubt that a full-on revolution would stop it at this point. The rest of the world would relish that, and pounce on us before the sound of the first shot had faded.

We are so terribly fucked.

48 Heh, just got back from the supermarket, and one of the tabloids in the line had a cover story about Obama spying on William and Kate by tapping their phones. True or not, you gotta hand it to some of those rags to pick up on two of their staples and mash it up into a story. I also like that if the Globe or Star or whatever mag it was is running with the theme of Obama spying --it is trickling down to the masses.

49 I would have liked to have seen some outrage over the Prezzy of the United Stezzy tweeting for folks to support this filibuster. Arguably, many of the leftards in Austin cleared out of the bars on 6th and ran to the capitol to disrupt on tweet/retweet collaboration and incited a mob action.

Nothing to see here says the press. IF conservatives EVER did shit like this, they would be apoplectic. I wish some day to see parity... but likely never will...

Deen is a liberal Democrat who supported Obama, and counts ex-president Jimmy Carter among her heroes.

A lot of the lefties who jumped all over her in the beginning assumed that she was a Tea Party type, because she's an older white woman with a southern accent. In fact, she's one of their very own -- which makes the vicious attacks on her all the more ironic.

54 Disgusting. "Clear eyes. full heart" about a woman who seems to think women aren't smart enough to know they're pregnant and get an abortion before the fifth month? And this: Why, she's he's "sooooo speciall" from Team Obama: "Something special is happening in Austin tonight," said a post on President Barack Obama's official Twitter account. The account is run by Organizing for Action, a nonprofit group established to support the president's legislative agenda. A post by Aimee Parker of Los Angeles said: "I'm in absolute awe of you, @WendyDavisTexas. Thank you for your passion, perseverance and unparalleled badassery." Yep, she's so passionate and shows such perseverance-just like St Therese of Avila, Clara Barton. and Harriet Tubman I have never used the word c--t or scrunt in my life, but this fawning over Davis sorely tempts to me do so Rand Paul at least was concerned with us being droned to death. This woman does a filibuster so that abortion clinics won't have any oversight. Gosnell's House of Horrors is so "empowering" for the ladies, I guess. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!

Well now, let's be candid here: what you refer to as the media's disdain for religion is really the media's disdain for Christianity and Christians in general. Antisemitism, while acceptable under the surface, will still be met with harshly in most cases, and Islam is sacred to the media. It's really only Christian faith that they hold absolute disdain for.

96 I like the idea of keeping abortion legal after 20 weeks, but making the "mom" carry home the legs and arms.

I don't know about that, but the mothers should be required to provide the name of the child so the death certificate can be properly filled out.

101 Let's not get carried away about Rick Perry.

I admire his "fuck you" attitude lately, but let's not forget the Hispandering, like being against a border fence. How on Earth are you opposed to a border fence?

Also, if there's one thing Dubya vs Reagan taught me, we need an effective communicator. Watching Perry's awful debate performance made me cringe. I started out a BIG fan, but he had trainwreck written all over it.

He's certainly a better conservative though than 95% of the RINOs out there, but we need someone with a silver tongue. Not just someone who can win on issues in a bright red state where the opposition party is a joke.

You got that right. After all, isn't the ability to have incompetents dismember viable babies in-utero under unsanitary conditions *exactly* what the patriots of this nation bled and died for?

103 She has a full heart and eyes full of tears because a bunch of abortion activists succeeded in temporarily shutting down a bill that would have banned the killing of 6-month andolder babies in the womb?

Isn't that the sickest thing? Full heart and eyes full of tears from joy at basically the prospect of ripping apart 20 week gestation babies. Where is G*d's lightening bolt of punishment when you need it? These people are so sick and twisted.

Heh, heh, heh.

She'll try to carpetbag to a more liberal district--that's the whole thing driving her: She needs a shitton of cash and there's none to be had for libs in TX.

And I think Todd Akin's position is ridiculous, and it only serves to elect sick, pro-infanticide Democrats. But intellectually, I'll say the "all abortion is criminal" stance is at least intellectually consistent.

I thought, "Yeah, TFG's spying on everybody." Not sure if I said that out loud or not.

This has been a strange day for me. I woke up in a bad mood for some reason, which is something I rarely do. The day's news only made it worse, and I wasn't even aware of the SCOTUS docket today. Hopefully, copious amounts of Guinness will help...

It looks like everyone's favorite presidential campaign consultant guy Steve Schmidt has a new job... with the ACLU.

They've hired him (as well as the former Director/Founder of GoProud, Jimmy LaSalvia) to do outreach toward conservative groups for a campaign to bring down anti-same sex marriage laws.

Here's to hoping that his new job with the ACLU will be about as productive for them as his work with Republican presidential campaigns.

I agree, sven. I would encourage them to be silent counter citizen filibusters like the vigils held outside of abortion clinics. I think that would send a very powerful message.

-----------------

So long as it isn't a couple of rich libertarian brothers, then "obviously" the funding was from the grass roots. Even if those grass roots are primarily made up of a certain rich European whose last name is a palindrome.

139 Steve Schmidt doing "outreach to conservatives"? Why don't they just take the money they're paying him and burn it; at least they'd get some heat from it.

Posted by: Captain Hate at June 26, 2013 03:54 PM (NG1GO)

140 According to "LifeNews" this is what the TX bill would have done: Increase abortion facility safety standards to the level of ambulatory surgical centers to shut down Gosnell-like abortion providers in Texas, Require the 18,000 RU-486 abortions performed each year be done according to FDA safety standards, Require physicians who perform abortions to be qualified to treat life-threatening complications after botched abortions and have privileges at a local hospital, and Ban abortions on unborn children beginning at 20 weeks after fertilization, when scientific evidence clearly shows babies can feel pain. But the harpies and worshippers of Moloch want the "sacrament of abortion" to have no limits. I guess.

152 A hundred Nikita Khrushchev's pounding their shoes on the table to drown out the rule of law when their version of human liberation is challenged. The so called ignored women for years were catered to by abortion on demand and now when the shiftless greedy abortion doctors are threatened with reduced profits through meeting standards that any outpatient surgery center is required to do its time to change the subject from their greed to women's health. "This is a moment that always puzzled meÂ–Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe at the UN General Assembly on October 13, 1960*. In a response to the Philippine delegate who said that the Soviet Union had Â‘swallowed up and deprived [Eastern Europe] of political and civil rightsÂ’, the Romanian delegate began shouting at his Philippine colleague. In order to attract the attention of the chair, Khrushche took his shoe off and waved it. Whether he eventually banged it on the desk was the matter of some debate. A New York Times correspondent reported that he did, while another insisted that he never banged his shoe. A KGB general remembered that Khrushchev banging it rhythmically, Â“like a metronome.Â” A UN staffer claimed that the shoe fell off earlier when Khrushchev was entering the Assembly and a journalist stepped on it; Khrushchev, not wishing to make a scene, didnÂ’t put it back on. The staffer said she passed the shoe wrapped in a napkin back to Khrushchev. Viktor Sukhodrev, KhrushchevÂ’s brilliant interpreter, remembered that Khurshchev pounded the UN desk so hard with his fists firstly that his watch stopped, at which point, he took off his shoe and used it. Sir Brian Urquhart, the future Under Secretary General, on the other hand wonders whether Khrushchev Â”used one of his own shoes, borrowed one of [Foreign Minister] GromykoÂ’s, or kept an extra shoe in his briefcase for banging purposes.Â” " iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/nikita-khrushchev-and-his-shoe/
