Nice try. You're the one that immediately called my integrity into question. Why do you derail threads, question the character of the authors of the OPs, and then play the victim card when they focus their attention on you? Do you do this unwittingly or intentionally?

Do you have anything of substance to add to the thread, other than conjured up attacks on my character, and questioning the motives of FOX News? You're a troll, FMF. Pure and simple.
Meanwhile, I'll wait to hear from those who are genuinely concerned about the Gosnell case and the mainstream media blackout.
P.S. Perhaps the Jodi Arias trial is more interesting to the media. If it is real and gets past the grand jury, the mews media will have to cover it.

That does not refute my claim in any way. CBS is a major TV network. Dumping this story into an internet blog that the mainstream doesn't read, actually defines what a media blackout is all about. The context of being "completely silent" on the issue is, m celebrities, and Conservative News Organizations. Did you read my article? I thought not.
Actually the most recent one was from April 12 and there was another one from March 21 (that's also more recent than March 19 if you didn't know). Once again, "Do you ever actually think/investigate before you post?"
Also this was the claim I was refuting:
One story from each organization does not constitute following the story. And yes I research before I post.
That should have been made apparent by the fact that I quoted you in bold

There does seem to be a view from elements of the media that 'mainstream' has not given the story the coverage it warrants.

Context of the Reply (which seems to causing some unintended confusion): Sumy, as you know, thoughtful requests for clarification are always relevant in any serious conversation. Anyone responding to them should recognize that something's been inadvertently lost or overlooked due to language level miscues or coding/decoding errors. Personal Note: My Inflamed Bone Spur Ridden Right Heel has made sustained sleep impossible for the past five days. I've no need for sympathy; my physcian has laboratoy fluids testing underway to determine which surgical or non-surgical remedy should be applied. Later today or tomorrow, once rested, I'll try to spell out the context of my brief comment.
Until then, an anecdotal incident you may find both interesting and pertinent: During a NYC Weekend in my early twenties, after a few chess games with patzers three times my age, I wandered into an elite art gallery on the way back to the hotel. One Oil Painting I've never forgotten was titled, "Illumination in the Eyes of the Ignorant". Content of Every Inch of This Pitch Black Canvas Consisted of One (1) Miniscule Speck/Circle in the Upper Left Corner. That's it. Nothing more. Try to visualize the artist's statement about unenlightened mankind in the following frame:

Originally posted by sumydidEvil men are everywhere, especially now, as we near the end times.
Abortion "Doctor" Kermit Gosnell, a true, bona fide serial murderer, is on trial as we speak for the murder of 7 (formerly living) babies and 1 female patient. I'll post a link to the grisly practices of this "doctor" but suffice it to say he is a truly evil sick man who took pleasure in the killing of babies. He got creative in how he would execute living www.newsmax.com/TheWire/kermit-gosnell-trial-abortion-killings/2013/04/12/id/499245
I don't believe this story has a proper place in the abortion debate.
I mean, obviously, this guy shouldn't have a medical license at all, much less performing abortions. If the warden at your local state penitentiary was proven to be evil, would that story have a place in the capital punishment debate?

If I have to hear one more freaking word about Jodi Arias, I will scream until I can't scream any more.

Originally posted by SuzianneI meant that if this case against this abortion "Doctor" Kermit Gosnell is true, then once it gets past the grand jury, the news media will have to cover it. I am also anxious for the Jodi Arias trial to take a back seat to some other trial.

Originally posted by sumydidYou seem to be implying that "pro-Gosnell" people, it there are any such people who think he should be ruled innocent, are "almost completely" atheists, and that "anti-Gosnell" people are "almost completely" Abrahamic religious people.
And I'm sorry I didn't go very far in explaining why this is in the spiritual forum, but I think the correlation is obvious. The pro-life supporters are primarily (almost completely) a religious people (Christian, Muslim, Jew) while the pro-abortion supporters are almost completely secular and Atheist. The abortion issue is perhaps the most heated issue of ...[text shortened]... demarcation between the religious groups and the secular/Atheist groups in the United States.
I would call that approach demagoguery, because it is an appeal to the emotions, prejudices, and ignorance of less-educated people.
I think the flak you are getting has a lot to do with this apparent demagoguery.
