Note this story<\/a> about the Live Action sting video that allegedly caught an employee of Planned Parenthood trying to help the \u2018pimp\u2019 keep his robust underage sex trafficking business afloat.\u00a0 The headline reads Anti-Abortion Group Targets NYC<\/u><\/strong> Clinic in Video<\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0 The focus is on \u2018Anti-Abortion Group\u2019, and the \u2018Clinic\u2019 is not named, or even hinted at.\u00a0 Sure,\u00a0anyone with a brain could figure that the clinic is an abortion provider.\u00a0 But only because the mind must recall the \u2018Anti-Abortion\u2019 part of the headline. After all, this is only the ~~first<\/strike>, ~~second<\/strike>, third case in which this has been allegedly discovered at an abortion clinic, so we should keep the focus on the real story. <\/p>\n~~~~

Of course\u00a0the headline could have read Employee of Planned Parenthood allegedly aids Sex Trafficker<\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0 It would be just as accurate.\u00a0 And it would give some indication of a major, major point of the story.\u00a0 Instead this, like the CNN ticker and other MSM descriptions, have focused on \u2018Anti-Abortion\u2019, \u2018Sting\u2019, and \u2018Undercover\u2019, rather than \u2018Planned Parenthoold\u2019, \u2018Illegal\u2019, or \u2018Sex Trafficking\u2019.\u00a0 It\u2019s all in the headlines.\u00a0 Most journalists and news outlets are aware that folks today read the Headlines, and that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 Therefore the\u00a0headline focus\u00a0is on yet another sting by some anti-abortion group (the groups that were highlighted when Dr. Tiller was killed).\u00a0 It isn\u2019t on the unspeakably horrible crime that may have been committed.\u00a0 We save that emphasis when its a conservative, traditional Christian, or Republican accused of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
