Nothing to add here

Excellent article by Jonathan Kay in today’s Post.

One of the lamentable results of the culture wars is that women have been taught to regard abortion — a medically profound event that either kills, or pre-empts, a unique, genetically determinate human being–as if it were merely an act of feminist self-empowerment. …

A “right to choose” means nothing if women don’t also have a right to be informed.

This is the height of hypocrisy of self-described “women’s rights” advocates who advocate for unfettered access to abortion. I have asked different abortion advocates on three different occasions what precisely abortion does and they avoided the question, defaulting to “I don’t know” or on one radio show simply saying “it is what it is.” Abortion “is what it is”. (Does that depend on your definition of “is”?)

I say hiding behind euphemisms isn’t a way to advance women’s rights. And for that, I’m called a misogynist.

The fact massage

CBC apologizes for Heather Mallick’s Mighty Wind column.

Portions of Ms. Mallick’s column do not meet the standards set out in policy for a point-of-view piece since some of her “facts” are unsupportable. She may, of course, resubmit her column taking account of our editorial standards. The editors are free to, in fact obliged to, exercise appropriate editing standards.

I used to be a fact checker. Yes, magazines usually have a department dedicated to driving ambitious, young journalists to insanity, by having them confirm the facts as written by others.

There could have been no fact check that would have caused this column not to run.

Fact checker: “Having perused many pornographic web sites, I conclude that Palin does not look like a porn star.”  

OR

Fact checker: “Having called some male Republican’s wives… it would seem sexual satisfaction is, er, high.”

This apology from the CBC is grand, except it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. They entirely fail, consistently, to note there is another set of views out there and they monopolize the media with their views using my tax dollars.

On that note, if you want more bias…check this most recent “news” report on “women’s rights” and Bill C-484. How’s about interviewing those victims groups that support Bill C-484 instead of claiming there were none? How’s about challenging the opinion that abortion is a “woman’s right”? Yes, I know, it would have required research. And a fact check.

Or maybe the CBC has an official policy–something that goes a little like this: Slander now, apologize later.

I spy a crazy woman (and it’s not Sarah Palin)

Take a look at this photo and describe Sarah Palin and her family, in your mind:

And then compare to this:

Palin has a toned-down version of the porn actress look favoured by this decade’s woman, the overtreated hair, puffy lips and permanently alarmed expression. Bristol has what is known in Britain as the look of the teen mum, the “pramface.” Husband Todd looks like a roughneck; Track, heading off to Iraq, appears terrified.

Really? Only question remaining is why Mallick didn’t light into the seven-year-old. Heck, why stop there–must be something insulting she can make up about the baby.

In historical studies, as in journalism actually, they teach you not to trust one eyewitness. This must be why.

Tanya adds: I must admit, Track did look a little stunned. However, something tells me it may have had more to do with the crowd of thousands cheering for him.
