Many of you may have been following the Gosnell trial and its grisly testimony.
I receive via e-mail a commentary on this and other things by a Reformed Christian named Denny Burk. You can read his latest concerning the Gosnell trial
here.
One of the things I found concerning this trial is how hypocritical the press is concerning this case. Despite the fact that there are over 40 seats set out for the press, yet most of these seats are empty.
In the commentary concerning why the press is not present is the following.
I asked one of the court staff why so few are interested.
"If you're pro-choice, do you really want anybody to know about this," he said, motioning to the filthy medical equipment set up in the courtroom.
It's a good point. As saturation coverage of the Sandy Hook elementary school coverage has caused Americans to reconsider the limits of the Second Amendment, saturation coverage of Kermit Gosnell's clinic would likely cause the same reconsideration of abortion rights.
Personally I find this appalling because a good news person gives unbiased news as it is unfolds. Anything else is not news, it is biased commentary. As this quote shows perhaps by their lack of coverage it speaks volumes as to their hypocrisy.
Their silence in my opinion is loud!
Looking at this matter as someone who is pro-life, if I was a member of the press and the shoes were on the other feet. Meaning that the person on trial could give the pro-life movement a black eye. Would I have the courage to report the unbiased news as it unfolded?
I suppose the very answer to that depended on if I was leaning on the Lord’s strength, rather than my own.
This in a way explains a lot of why we are seeing the lack of news coverage in the liberal press.
Any thoughts concerning this, or the trial?
