From First Things:
After weeks of growing frustration, pro-lifers took to Twitter en masse Friday to express disbelief and outrage over media silence on the multiple-murder trial of American abortion provider Kermit Gosnell. And the media, at least some of it, seems to be listening…
A little later in the day, Megan McArdle published an article for The Daily Beast entitled “Why I didn’t write about Gosnell’s trial—and why I should have.” She confesses that she and others haven’t written on the topic not because it isn’t newsworthy, but because it’s unpleasant. “The truth is that most of us [‘pro-choice mainstream journalists’] tend to be less interested in sick-making stories—if the sick making was done by ‘our side’.” She agrees the media have been remiss in ignoring the trial. “This story should have been covered much more than it was—covered as a national policy issue, not a ‘local crime story’. The press has literally been AWOL.”
Though it’s sickening it took this long for the mainstream media to pick up the story, I’m encouraged that pro-lifers banded together towards a common goal and succeeded in increasing media coverage of this story. Good, good. Off to read all those new stories…

Now if only CBC and CTV and the Globe and Mail would cover the story! They certainly cover many many American stories and there is no excuse to not cover this story.
When CNN’s senior legal correspondent was queried by a CNN host about why the Gosnell trial has not received extensive media coverage, he said that the story was not news worthy (i.e, people were not interested). He further stated that there was no media bias whatsoever, and that the simple truth was that the story was of no interest.
