Jenn Taylor @ Twitchy:
New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan gave the publication a Twitter-pat on the back for its coverage of Kermit Gosnell’s mass murder trial. Media blackout? Pfft!
Sullivan called the paper of record’s coverage “not insubstantial.” Can we get a fact check from Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers?
It’s less than insubstantial: 1 story on trial (1st day) on A-17. RT @Sulliview: I’ve reviewed Times#gosnell coverage. Not insubstantial…—
Kirsten Powers (@kirstenpowers10) April 13, 2013@Sulliview The statistic I’ve been hearing is that you’ve only had one story on the trial since it started. Is that not true?—
(Stephanie) Slade (@sladesr) April 12, 2013Sullivan admits the Times published one piece on the trial. One. But come on, you guys, the paper already covered this stuff before the trial began.
@sladesr That is true. But there was substantial coverage, including a major 2011 takeout and other shorter pieces since.—
Margaret Sullivan (@Sulliview) April 12, 2013And more coverage is on the way … she thinks.
.@tenuto Also, based on what @SamSifton tells me, I think you can expect to see at least one more substantial #gosnell piece in @nytimes.—
Margaret Sullivan (@Sulliview) April 12, 2013@sladesr I think you will see more.—
Margaret Sullivan (@Sulliview) April 12, 2013Powers wonders if possibly sending a Times reporter to Philadelphia to cover the trial would make Sullivan’s tweets more believable.
Hi @Sulliview –curious, wouldn’t it be more believable that @NYT covered #gosnell trial if they had actually sent a reporter to cover it?—

IMO The only reason the MSM are only reluctantly and half-heartedly (not even that much,) beginning talk about covering the trial, is because Planned Parenthood is backing away from support of Gosnell.
Actually it probably is pretty typical. This probably happens in abortion clinincs all over this country every day. Thr fact that Barrack Obama, the Democrats and their lapdog media condone annd cover this up while standing on the dead bodies of the Sandy Hook victims is beyond appalling. It’s despicable and down right evil. They’re killing untold numbers of children who could survive out the womb and the mainstream media could not only care less, they eagerly cover it up. They should all be arrested and convicted as accomplices and trotted off to prison where they belong.
