The column, and the ensuing outrage\u2014and much of the outrage came from people with vaginas despite Carmon\u2019s egregious and divisive claim that it was just the patriarchy rearing its ugly head\u2014was specific to the fact that the mainstream media had not covered the\u00a0trial\u00a0<\/em>of Kermit Gosnell, which started March 18, 2013. I am going to repeat this, because a starling number of people on the left, including\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0public editor Margaret Sullivan<\/a>, either cannot grasp this or are intentionally ignoring it. Repeat after me: \u201cThe problem is that\u00a0the trial<\/em>\u00a0has not been covered.\u201d That the\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0ran one story about Gosnell in January is hardly relevant to the trial that started in March.<\/p>\n

It is the\u00a0trial\u00a0<\/em>that has included spectacular and headline-grabbing testimony from Gosnell\u2019s former assistants and workers. It is the\u00a0trial<\/em>\u00a0that has been largely ignored outside of local media and activists on the right and left. This, despite the normal obsession with murder trials (Good Morning America<\/em>\u00a0has done a\u00a010-part series on the Jody Arias trial<\/a>). It is the\u00a0trial<\/em>\u2014rife with grisly details about an abortion doctor who maimed and killed women and babies\u2014that was ignored, despite\u00a0The Washington Post<\/em>\u2019s,\u00a0The New York Times\u2019<\/em>s, and network evening news\u2019s usual obsession with all things abortion related.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
So, the continued misleading claims that the trial has been widely covered are empirically false\u2014as is Carmon\u2019s\u00a0 claim on CNN Friday<\/a>\u00a0that the only reason anyone is talking about this is because of Fox News, always the left\u2019s go-to scapegoat. Unless Fox News owns\u00a0USA Today,<\/em>\u00a0I\u2019m not sure what she is talking about. It\u2019s remarkable how quickly a story of a trial about decapitated babies and maimed women was overshadowed by liberal rage at Fox News and the \u201cconservative media\u201d who allegedly were hypocrites because they hadn\u2019t been covering it, either. (In fact, Fox News has run 11 stories over the course of the three-week trial, whileThe New York Times<\/em>\u00a0so far has run just one piece, on A-17, the day the trial began.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
