Network news coverage has dedicated more time to the killing of Cecil the lion than undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood executives negotiating the sale of organs collected from aborted babies, according to a report published today.

The report, from the conservative media watchdog group the Media Research Center,
found that ABC, CBS, and NBC’s news broadcasts dedicated 11 minutes and 13 seconds since July 14 to stories relating to the Planned Parenthood videos and
14 minutes and 1 second since July 28 to the killing of Cecil.

You should publish a paper everyday to let people know which stories they should be discussing because you think so. I'm sure it'll be a hit
 
A google search....

"Planned Parenthood tissue sales" About 2,780,000 results (0.30 seconds)
"Cecil the lion" About 39,500,000 results (0.31 seconds)

Says a lot about priorities.
 
Censored: ABC and CBS Refused to Cover Planned Parenthood Selling Aborted Baby Body Parts
To see where NBC’s priorities lie, compare those 39 seconds to the 14 minutes and 3 seconds NBC’s Today spent interview actors to promote Judd Apatow’s “Trainwreck” or the more than 3 minutes spent on “Caitlyn [Jenner] and Controversy at Awards Show.”

The night before, ABC, NBC and CBS censored the video completely from their news shows. Cable outlets CNN and MSNBC as well as Spanish-language networks MundoFox, Telemundo, and Univision also offered zero coverage to the story. (The Spanish-language morning newscasts on July 15, Despierta America and Nuevo Dia, skipped the footage as well.

Because the planned parenthood story is an edit job, and honestly, how did people think researchers got their tissue? Did they think those conversations are about flowers and snowflakes?

Plus abortion is less than 3% of what Planned Parenthood does, and they are not profiting from this.

Lastly, abortion has pretty much been completely gone from public discourse for over a decade. It's only brought up when republicans need votes and try to trick the rubes into thinking they're going to do something to stop abortion. People just don't really care much.
 
If you don't like it, don't watch or start you own media outlet to televise what you deem important issues....
 
One is a real story and the other is a PR campaign Anti-choice advocates are using to drum up emotional support for Congress to de-fund PP like the O'Keefe doctored video did to ACORN.
 
Planned Parenthood's practices are legal and ethical; killing a protected animal is neither.

An embryo/fetus is not a "baby."

Consequently this thread fails as a false comparison fallacy.

People can care about more than one thing at a time. I was pissed to hear that a convicted poacher murdered a socialized lion (that had a family btw) and called it a "mistake". I was pissed when I first discovered that there's a massive and politically protected industry devoted to murdering my generation for a profit. Neither cancels out the other.

See, the problem with this claim is that it's been an actively discussed topic for the entire time you're saying it's been dead. This thread itself is evidence of that fact.

Cecil canceled human embryos! ONE animal death versus thousands of human lives and the MSM gave more coverage to the Lion!
That is the point!
We had people in the MSM protecting Planned Parenthood a documented ethnic cleansing group by ignoring that news and spending more coverage
on an animal! You and your ilk are so out of touch with humanity it truly is disturbing! You would as it sounds to me have no problem with the ovens!

Maybe its because the Planned Parenthood is not a story at all but a bunch distorted horseshit.

He had a valid license to take a lion.

Maybe you libs should have been more vigilant getting the word out, "Hands up, don't shoot."

Obviously, Cecil didn't hear you.
 
left-wingers see animals as being more important than human baies

You want to talk about left wingers? Lets talk about this guy:


The Lion Killing Dentist Is An All Around Awful Person, And (Shocker!) A Republican (VIDEO)

Ted Nugent, who’s never met an animal or human he wouldn’t consider shooting, has come to Palmer’s defense, saying that the whole story is a lie. Addicting Info The Lion Killing Dentist Is An All Around Awful Person And Shocker A Republican VIDEO

Not surprisingly, Palmer and Nugent have something besides murdering innocent animals in common. Palmer, like Nugent, is a Republican. In 2012, he gave $5,000.00 to Mitt Romney’s campaign.

Oh, but it gets worse. In 2009, he settled a sexual harassment claim against him. He was accused of sexually harassing a receptionist and patient between 1999 and 2005, which included the woman being “subjected to verbal comments and physical conduct involving her breasts, buttocks, and genitalia.”

In 2008, he pled guilty to a federal charge of making false statements surrounding a bear hunting accident.

Were you expecting something different? There are three sides to our media: the far right media (eg Fox and NewsMax), the mainstream/left media (eg CNN and PBS), and the far left media (eg MSNBC and the various blogs and comedy shows that fill in for serious news). Only the first is in any way sympathetic to us. The latter two are staunchly against us. This is going to be an uphill battle, just like the fights against fascism, sexism, and slavery of our forebears.

We had people in the MSM protecting Planned Parenthood a documented ethnic cleansing group by ignoring that news and spending more coverage on an animal! You and your ilk are so out of touch with humanity it truly is disturbing! You would as it sounds to me have no problem with the ovens!
"My ilk"? Every aspect of my philosophy ultimately comes down to the value of life. My anti-abortion position is just one aspect of it. My socialist economics is another. My "ilk" are the people who give a damn about our murdered peers AND the fact that Cecil's children are going to be murdered by rival males because of a convicted fucking poacher.
